The dust emission SED of X-ray emitting regions in Stephan’s Quintet
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analysed the Spitzer maps of Stephan’s Quintet in order to investigate the nature of the dust emission associated with the X-ray emitting regions of the large scale intergalactic shock and of the group halo. This emission can in principle be powered by dust-gas particle collisions, thus providing efficient cooling of the hot gas. However the results of our analysis suggest that the dust emission from those regions is mostly powered by photons. Nonetheless dust collisional heating could be important in determining the cooling of the IGM gas and the large scale star formation morphology observed in SQ.

Powerful High Velocity-dispersion Molecular Hydrogen associated with an Intergalactic Shock Wave in Stephan’s Quintet
We present the discovery of strong mid-infrared emission lines of molecular hydrogen of apparently high velocity dispersion (∼870 km s) originating from a group-wide shock wave in Stephans Quintet. These Spitzer Space Telescope observations reveal emission lines of molecular hydrogen and little else. This is the first time an almost pure H2 line spectrum has been seen in an extragalactic object...
متن کاملA Multiwavelength Study of Stephan’s Quintet
Stephan’s Quintet (SQ) is a compact group that we find in an atypical moment when a high velocity intruder is passing through it. The intrusion is particularly interesting because a previous intruder had stripped most of the gas from the group members. This debris field was shocked in the ongoing collision with the new intruder. This evolutionary history agrees well with observations and explai...
متن کاملA High Resolution Mosaic of Molecular Gas in Stephan’s Quintet
We present high resolution CO J=1−0 observations of the molecular gas in the Hickson Compact Group Stephan’s Quintet (HCG92). Our observations consist of multiple pointing and mosaics covering all the regions where CO and star formation has been detected. Within the 100 field of view centered on the eastern-most tidal tail, we detect three clumps of emission that may be partially resolved at ou...
متن کاملX-ray emission components from Stephan’s Quintet resolved with the ROSAT HRI
We obtained a high spatial resolution image of Stephan’s Quintet with the ROSAT HRI detector. The observations reveal that the extended X-ray emission from the compact group originates from several distinct components. The total Xray luminosity in the 0.1 – 2 keV bandwithin a circle of 6′ diameter is Lx ∼ 5 × 1041erg s−1 . This measure is consistent with previous ROSAT PSPC observations. The ne...
متن کاملEvidence of intense hot ( ≃ 340 K ) dust in 3 CR radio galaxies
The spectra of the powerful 3CR radio galaxies present a typical distribution in the far-infrared (FIR). From the observed radio to X-ray spectral energy distribution (SED) templates, we propose to subtract the typical energy distributions of, respectively, the elliptical galaxy host and the synchrotron radiation. The resulting SED reveals that the main dust emission is well fitted by the sum o...
