3C 186 RL Quasar in X-ray Cluster Smoothed Chandra X-ray Image • Outline: • Quasar • Cluster • Interactions Extragalactic Jets, Alaska May 2007
Questions • Are there any Quasars in X-ray Clusters? => Radio loud Quasars reside in rich optical environment, outskirts, only marginal detection of the X-ray emission associated with optically bright quasars, thermal/non-thermal X-ray emission at high z • Is 3C 186, the radio-loud quasar Unique? • What are the properties of the X-ray Cluster at z>1? • What can we learn about the early stage interactions between the jet and the cluster environment?

3C 186: Optical Cluster ? K-band emission Opt Peak • X-ray emission traces the gas while optical emission shows structures. • X-ray image is smaller than the optical field of view. • > 50 arcsec offset between the quasar and the centroid of the galaxy distribution in Sanchez & Gonzales-Serrano K-band data 3C186 Sanchez & Gonzalez-Serrano 2002 Extragalactic Jets, Alaska May 2007

Spencer et al 1.6 GHz 2 arcsec Quasar - Cluster Interaction • Jet/HS within unresolved X-ray core • 2 arcsec = 16 kpc • HS Outside the galaxy • Hot spot - pressure • Outside the galaxy • Dynamics/Mach numbers • Bullet-like => cluster does not stop/slow down the jet • Hot spots - give jet power ? • Bfield? • How the energy is transfer to the cluster? • Jet Confinement • Jet progress • Cluster heating • Relic?

Bicknell etal1997 Jet Confinement and Jet Progress Pressure: radio HS ~ 10-8 dyn cm -2 hot cluster gas ~ 5 x10-11 dyn cm -2 Radio components highly overpressured ! Density - clumpy medium? • NH limit from X-ray spectrum of the core < 9e20 cm -2 Required 1-30 cm -3 of a clumpy medium stopping/slowing jet (Carvahlo 1985, De Young 1991, 1993, Bicknell 1997) A total thickness of the clumpy medium=> 10-100pc => Jet is not frustrated Extragalactic Jets, Alaska May 2007
Quasar - Cluster Interaction Chandra X-rays image VLA C - Radio contours Radio Bubble? • Large scale radio structure? • Initial VLA radio data show a Bubble? • Structure towards the lower X-ray emission: • Bubble deficit in X-ray only of -13.9 counts (1.5 sigma) • More VLA observations in June 2007 to confirm and get numbers! Difference in X-ray and radio elongation Extragalactic Jets, Alaska May 2007
What did we learn so far? • Ljet = 1046 ergs/s • Lacc =6x1046 ergs/s • tage = 5x105 yrs • pV work => 1056 ergs • Expansion of the radio source with 0.1c => average expansion with power 6x1043 ergs/s In 107 yrs => 1058 ergs total If Mdot = 10 Msun/yr = > 108Msun if continuous supply Extragalactic Jets, Alaska May 2007
Conclusions • Powerful RL quasar in cluster • Lack of Confinement of CSS source - Jet is not frustrated • The source is at the early stage of expansion • A possible relic activity reflected in the X-ray and radio emission - future radio and X-ray observations to confirm this • Optical spectroscopy will determine the cluster galaxies and potential offsets between optical and X-ray centroids • Searching for more quasars in clusters Extragalactic Jets, Alaska May 2007
