XMM-Newton view of a slingshot induced shock front in the Corona Borealis
收藏资源简介:
We propose a 73 ks observation of the spectacular merging cluster Abell 2061that resides in the Corona Borealis supercluster and has a slingshotconfiguration.Previous Xray investigations revealed the presence of a cold front and anindication of a shock front on the southwestern side of A2061. Interestingly, the shock candidate and a radio relic have an unexplained offset. This uniquefeature is most likely originated from poorly understood slingshot activity.Towards better understanding of the unexplained offset between the shock andradio relic, the proposed observation aims to determine the spatial coincidenceof the shock front and the relic. truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
