Nonthermal Emission Associated with Strong AGN Outbursts at the Centers of Galaxy Clusters

Abstract

Recently, strong AGN outbursts at the centers of galaxy clusters have been found. Using a simple model, we study particle acceleration around a shock excited by an outburst and estimate nonthermal emission from the accelerated particles. We show that emission from secondary electrons is consistent with the radio observations of the minihalo in the Perseus cluster, if there was a strong AGN outburst >~10^8 yrs ago with an energy of ~1.8x10^62 erg. The validity of our model depends on the frequency of the large outbursts. We also estimate gamma-ray emission from the accelerated particles and show that it could be detected with GLAST.
