Inflating Fat Bubbles in Clusters of Galaxies by Precessing Massive Slow Jets
نویسندگان
چکیده
We conduct hydrodynamical numerical simulations and find that precessing massive slow jets can inflate fat bubbles, i.e., more or less spherical bubbles, that are attached to the center of clusters of galaxies. To inflate a fat bubble the jet should precess fast. The precessing angle θ should be large, or change over a large range 0 ≤ θ ≤ θmax ∼ 30 − 70 ◦ (depending also on other parameters), where θ = 0 is the symmetry axis. The constraints on the velocity and mass outflow rate are similar to those on wide jets to inflate fat bubbles. The velocity should be vj ∼ 10 4 km s, and the mass loss rate of the two jets should be 2Ṁj ≃ 1 − 50Ṁ⊙ yr . These results, and our results from a previous paper dealing with slow wide jets, support the claim that a large fraction of the feedback heating in cooling flow clusters and in the processes of galaxy formation is done by slow massive jets.

Bubbles in Planetary Nebulae and Clusters of Galaxies: Slowly Precessing Jets
I derive the condition for narrow jets with varying axis, e.g., precessing jets, to inflate more or less spherical (fat) bubbles in planetary nebulae and clusters of galaxies. This work follows a previous work dealing with wide jets, i.e., having a wide opening angle. The expressions derive here are qualitatively and quantitatively similar to the conditions for inflating fat bubbles by non-prec...

متن کاملSound Waves Excitation by Jet-inflated Bubbles in Clusters of Galaxies
We show that repeated sound waves in the intracluster medium (ICM) can be excited by a single inflation episode of an opposite bubble pair. To reproduce this behavior in numerical simulations the bubbles should be inflated by jets, rather than being injected artificially. The multiple sound waves are excited by the motion of the bubble-ICM boundary that is caused by vortices inside the inflated...
متن کاملBubbles in Planetary Nebulae and Clusters of Galaxies: Jet Properties
I derive constraints on jet properties for inflating pairs of bubbles in planetary nebulae and clusters of galaxies. This work is motivated by the similarity in morphology and some non-dimensional quantities between X-ray-deficient bubbles in clusters of galaxies and the optical-deficient bubbles in planetary nebulae, which was pointed out in an earlier work. In the present paper I find that fo...

For the recent four years we have been studying feedback heating in cooling flow (CF) clusters by AGN activity that inflate bubbles by jets; this short contribution to a meeting summarizes our main results. To achieve our results we had to self-consistently inflate the bubbles with jets, rather than inject them artificially. Our main results are as follows (1) Feedback mechanisms that are based...
