خوشه کهکشانی و تعدادی از گروه‌های شناخته شده آن‌ها ٬بزرگ‌ترین اجرام جهان هستند.یک خوشه کهکشانی از سه بخش تشکیل شده است؛ کهکشان‌هایی که دارای میلیاردها ستاره اند، گاز داغ بین کهکشان‌ها و ماده تاریک، ماده‌ای با هویتی مرموز که بیش‌ترین جرم کهکشان را تشکیل می‌دهد.

اندازه[ویرایش]

اندازه آن‌ها از ابعاد کوچک مانند خوشه کهکشانی محلی با ۲۰ الی ۳۰ عضو شروع می وشد و تا خوشه‌های کهکشانی کروی شکل تا دهها هزار عضو ادامه می‌یابد.[۱]

ماده تاریک[ویرایش]

نوشتار اصلی: ماده تاریک

در بیشتر حالات محاسبات نشان می‌دهد که جرم یک خوشه بیشتر از مجموع جرم کهکشان‌های عضو است با بررسی محاسبات نتیجه گرفته شد بین کهکشانها ماده تاریک که احتمالاً گازهای داغ پراکنده٬خرده سنگ٬سیاهچاله یا اجرام ناشناخته تشکیل شده باشد٬ساخته شده‌است.[۱]

A galaxy cluster, or cluster of galaxies, is a structure that consists of anywhere from hundreds to thousands of galaxies that are bound together by gravity[1] with typical masses ranging from 1014–1015 solar masses. They are the largest known gravitationally bound structures in the universe and were believed to be the largest known structures in the universe until the 1980s, when superclusters were discovered.[2] One of the key features of clusters is the intracluster medium (ICM). The ICM consists of heated gas between the galaxies and has a peak temperature between 2–15 keV that is dependent on the total mass of the cluster. Galaxy clusters should not be confused with star clusters, such as open clusters, which are structures of stars within galaxies, or with globular clusters, which typically orbit galaxies. Small aggregates of galaxies are referred to as galaxy group rather than clusters of galaxies. The galaxy groups and clusters can themselves cluster together to form superclusters.

Notable galaxy clusters in the relatively nearby Universe include the Virgo Cluster, Fornax Cluster, Hercules Cluster, and the Coma Cluster. A very large aggregation of galaxies known as the Great Attractor, dominated by the Norma Cluster, is massive enough to affect the local expansion of the Universe. Notable galaxy clusters in the distant, high-redshift Universe include SPT-CL J0546-5345 and SPT-CL J2106-5844, the most massive galaxy clusters found in the early Universe. In the last few decades, they are also found to be relevant sites of particle acceleration, a feature that has been discovered by observing non-thermal diffuse radio emissions, such as radio halos and radio relics. Using the Chandra X-ray Observatory, structures such as cold fronts and shock waves have also been found in many galaxy clusters.

Basic properties

Galaxy cluster IDCS J1426 is located 10 billion light-years from Earth and weighs almost 500 trillion suns.[3]

Galaxy clusters typically have the following properties:

  • They contain 100 to 1,000 galaxies, hot X-ray- emitting gas and large amounts of dark matter.[4] Details are described in the "Composition" section.
  • The distribution of the three components is approximately the same in the cluster.
  • They have total masses of 1014 to 1015 solar masses.
  • They typically have a diameter from 2 to 10 Mpc (see 1023 m for distance comparisons).
  • The spread of velocities for the individual galaxies is about 800–1000 km/s.

Composition

There are three main components of a galaxy cluster. They are tabulated below:[citation needed]

Name of the components Mass fraction Description
Galaxies 1% In optical observations, only galaxies are visible
Intergalactic gas in intracluster medium 9% Plasma between the galaxies at high temperature and emit x-ray radiation by thermal bremsstrahlung
Dark matter 90% Most massive component but cannot be detected optically and is inferred through gravitational interactions
