A Radio Halo Found in the Hottest Known Cluster of Galaxies 1E0658-56

چکیده
We report the detection of a diffuse radio halo source in the hottest known cluster of galaxies 1E0658-56 (RXJ0658-5557). The radio halo has a morphology similar to the X-ray emission from the hot intracluster medium. The detection of such a strong radio halo in such a hot cluster is further evidence to the link between X-ray temperature and cluster-wide radio halos. We describe a new model for the origin of cluster-wide radio halo sources involving a direct connection between the X-ray emitting thermal particles and the radio emitting relativistic particles.

A Powerful Radio Halo in the Hottest Known Cluster of Galaxies 1 E 0657 − 56
We report the detection of a diffuse radio halo source in the hottest known cluster of galaxies 1E0657−56 (RXJ0658−5557). The radio halo has a morphology similar to the X-ray emission from the hot intracluster medium. The presence of a luminous radio halo in such a hot cluster is further evidence for a steep correlation between the radio halo power and the X-ray temperature. We favour models fo...
متن کاملAGN Zoo and Classications of Active Galaxies
We review the variety of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) classes (so-calledAGN zoo") and classification schemes of galaxies by activity types based on their optical emission-line spectrum, as well as other parameters and other than optical wave-length ranges. A historical overview of discoveries of various types of active galaxies is given, including Seyfert galaxies, radio galaxies, QSOs, BL Lace...
متن کامل1e0657-56: a Contender for the Hottest Known Cluster of Galaxies
We identify the extended Einstein IPC X-ray source, 1E0657-56, with a previously unknown cluster of galaxies at a redshift of z = 0.296. Optical CCD images show the presence of a gravitational arc in this cluster and galaxy spectra yield a cluster velocity dispersion of 1213 −191 km s . X-ray data obtained with the ROSAT HRI and ASCA indicate that 1E0657-56 is a highly luminous cluster in which...
متن کاملAn X - Ray Temperature Map of the Merging Cluster Abell 2255
We present a spatially resolved map of intracluster gas temperatures in the rich cluster Abell 2255, using ROSAT PSPC data. The intracluster gas is strongly non-isothermal and the temperature distribution supports the conclusions of Burns et al. (1995) that Abell 2255 is currently undergoing a merger. The hottest regions are near the core, northwest of the center. A map of the ratio of softer t...
متن کاملDiscovery of a Giant Radio Halo in a New Planck Galaxy Cluster Plckg171.9-40.7
We report the discovery of a giant radio halo in a new, hot, X-ray luminous galaxy cluster recently found by Planck, PLCKG171.9-40.7. The radio halo was found using Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope observations at 235 MHz and 610 MHz, and in the 1.4 GHz data from a NRAO Very Large Array Sky Survey pointing that we have reanalyzed. The diffuse radio emission is coincident with the cluster X-ray e...
