低质量星系团中的呼吸:幕式恒星形成的研究

Breathing in Low Mass Galaxies: A Study of Episodic Star Formation

G. S. Stinson, J. J. Dalcanton, T. Quinn, T. Kaufmann, J. Wadsley

摘要:

我们使用SPH + N-Body模拟孤立矮星系的崩溃,包括超新星反馈的影响的物理动机的描述。随着气体的坍缩和恒星的形成,超新星的反馈干扰了足够的气体,暂时抑制了恒星的形成。气体向外流入一个热晕,在那里它冷却,直到恒星形成可以再次继续,循环重复。孤立的本星系群矮星系的恒星形成历史表现出类似的恒星形成爆发。我们研究了恒星速度色散的质量依赖性,发现它们不小于在维里半径处测量的晕速度的一半。

英文摘要:

We simulate the collapse of isolated dwarf galaxies using SPH + N-Body simulations including a physically motivated description of the effects of supernova feedback. As the gas collapses and stars form, the supernova feedback disrupts enough gas to temporarily quench star formation. The gas flows outward into a hot halo, where it cools until star formation can continue once more and the cycle repeats. The star formation histories of isolated Local Group dwarf galaxies exhibit similar episodic bursts of star formation. We examine the mass dependence of the stellar velocity dispersions and find that they are no less than half the velocity of the halos measured at the virial radius.
