Weak Merging Scenario of CLASH Cluster A209
RESEARCH IN ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS(2024)
摘要
We study the structural and dynamical properties of A209 based on Chandra and XMM-Newton observations. We obtain detailed temperature, pressure, and entropy maps with the contour binning method, and find a hot region in the NW direction. The X-ray brightness residual map and corresponding temperature profiles reveal a possible shock front in the NW direction and a cold front feature in the SE direction. Combined with the galaxy luminosity density map we propose a weak merger scenario. A young sub-cluster passing from the SE to NW direction could explain the optical subpeak, the intracluster medium temperature map, the X-ray surface brightness excess, and the X-ray peak offset together.
