What Bends the Enigmatic Double Nucleus Wide-Angle-Tailed Source 3C75questionMark
收藏资源简介:
We propose a deep observation of the cluster Abell 400, which is host to thespectacular double twinjet radio source 3C 75. The radio jets of each sourceshow a number of bends which are common to both sources and are reflective ofenvironmental conditions. Our initial short Chandra exposure shows the elongatedcluster emission is clumpy; there is a hot Xray region south of the AGN and acool region to the north. Our previous AO4 XMM observations (for the HIFLUGCSproject) were lost due to flares. We will study the ICM density, temperature andpressure in the region of the radio source. These observations will allow us toexamine the mechanism responsible for deflecting the twin tails: Is it due tothe merger, density gradients, or inhomogeneities? truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
