摘要:

基于宇宙学的N体模拟,我们分析了空间和运动学的卫星晕内的维里半径组大小的主机晕(Rvir)的六倍对齐。我们测量三种不同类型的空间对齐:晕对齐的方向组中心子结构(GCS)和它的卫星的分布之间,径向对齐的方向之间的卫星和它的GCS的方向,和直接对齐的GCS的方向和它的卫星。在类比中,我们使用卫星速度的方向和探测三种进一步类型的对准:卫星速度和卫星与GCS之间的连接线之间的径向速度对准,GCS的方向和卫星速度之间的晕速度对准和卫星方向和它们的速度之间的自动速度对准。我们发现,卫星优先位于沿主轴的GCS至少6 Rvir(在这里探测的范围)。此外,卫星优先指向GCS。在小尺度上检测到最明显的信号,但可检测的信号延伸到6Rvir。直接对准信号较弱,然而在距离<2Rvir处可见系统趋势。所有的速度对齐在小尺度上都是非常重要的。我们的结果表明,晕线排列反映了外延的大尺度结构,它远远超出了群的维里半径。与此相反,主要贡献的径向对齐来自调整的卫星取向的组潮场。预测的数据显示,与最近的结果来自大型星系调查的协议。(节略)

英文摘要:

Based on a cosmological N-body simulation we analyze spatial and kinematic alignments of satellite halos within six times the virial radius of group size host halos (Rvir). We measure three different types of spatial alignment: halo alignment between the orientation of the group central substructure (GCS) and the distribution of its satellites, radial alignment between the orientation of a satellite and the direction towards its GCS, and direct alignment between the orientation of the GCS and that of its satellites. In analogy we use the directions of satellite velocities and probe three further types of alignment: the radial velocity alignment between the satellite velocity and connecting line between satellite and GCS, the halo velocity alignment between the orientation of the GCS and satellite velocities and the auto velocity alignment between the satellites orientations and their velocities. We find that satellites are preferentially located along the major axis of the GCS within at least 6 Rvir (the range probed here). Furthermore, satellites preferentially point towards the GCS. The most pronounced signal is detected on small scales but a detectable signal extends out to 6 Rvir. The direct alignment signal is weaker, however a systematic trend is visible at distances < 2 Rvir. All velocity alignments are highly significant on small scales. Our results suggest that the halo alignment reflects the filamentary large scale structure which extends far beyond the virial radii of the groups. In contrast, the main contribution to the radial alignment arises from the adjustment of the satellite orientations in the group tidal field. The projected data reveal good agreement with recent results derived from large galaxy surveys. (abridged)
