Tamura (U. of Tokyo | Abstract: | Using the X-ray data from ASCA, spectral and spatial properties of the intra-cluster medium (ICM) of the cD cluster Abell 1795 are studied, up to a radial distance of $sim 12’$ ($sim 1.3$ $h_{50}^{-1}$ kpc). The ICM temperature and abundance are spatially rather constant, although the cool emission component is reconfirmed in the central region. The azimuthally- averaged radial X-ray surface brightness profiles are very similar between soft (0.7--3 keV) and hard (3--10 keV) energy bands, and neither can be fitted with a single-$eta$ model due to a strong data excess within $sim5’$ of the cluster center. In contrast, double-$eta$ models can successfully reproduce the overall brightness profiles both in the soft and hard energy bands, as well as that derived with the ROSAT PSPC. Properties of the central excess brightness are very similar over the 0.2--10 keV energy range spanned by ROSAT and ASCA. Thus, the excess X-ray emission from the core region of this cluster is confirmed for the first time in hard X-rays above 3 keV. This indicates that the shape of the gravitational potential becomes deeper than the King-type one towards the cluster center. Radial profiles of the total gravitating matter, calculated using the double-$eta$ model, reveal an excess mass of $sim 3 imes 10^{13}~ M_{odot}$ within $sim 150 h^{-1}_{50}$ kpc of the cluster center. This suggests a hierarchy in the gravitational potential corresponding to the cD galaxy and the entire cluster. | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/9806279 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
