Figure 5.
The predicted JWST spectrum of a low-redshift cooling flow and a variety of lowest flow temperatures. The upper panel shows the wavelength range detected by NIRSpec ($0.6\!-\!5\,\mu$m) while the lower panel shows MIRI ($5\!-\!28\,\mu$m). Very low ionization [Fe ii] and [N i] lines are strong in flows that cool down to $\sim 10^3$ K but are absent in flows that are reheated at higher temperatures. The spectrum is normalized to a cooling flow of 1 ${{\rm \, {\rm M}_{\odot }}{\rm \, yr}^{-1}\, }$ at the distance of the Centaurus cluster $z=0.0104$. The results in Fig. 1 suggest that the flow is about $14 {{\rm \, {\rm M}_{\odot }}{\rm \, yr}^{-1}\, }$.

The predicted JWST spectrum of a low-redshift cooling flow and a variety of lowest flow temperatures. The upper panel shows the wavelength range detected by NIRSpec (⁠|$0.6\!-\!5\,\mu$|m) while the lower panel shows MIRI (⁠|$5\!-\!28\,\mu$|m). Very low ionization [Fe ii] and [N i] lines are strong in flows that cool down to |$\sim 10^3$| K but are absent in flows that are reheated at higher temperatures. The spectrum is normalized to a cooling flow of 1 |${{\rm \, {\rm M}_{\odot }}{\rm \, yr}^{-1}\, }$| at the distance of the Centaurus cluster |$z=0.0104$|⁠. The results in Fig. 1 suggest that the flow is about |$14 {{\rm \, {\rm M}_{\odot }}{\rm \, yr}^{-1}\, }$|⁠.
