模拟星系的形成和演化:星际介质、恒星形成和能量反馈的多相描述

Simulating the formation and evolution of galaxies: Multi-phase description of the interstellar medium, star formation, and energy feedback

Emiliano Merlin, Cesare Chiosi

摘要:

我们提出了一个多相位表示的ISM在NB-TSPH模拟的星系形成和演化,特别注意的情况下,早型星系。冷气体云由所谓的粘性粒子算法描述。它们可以在热的ISM介质中自由移动;恒星在这些云内形成,三个重子相(热气、冷云、恒星)之间的质量交换受辐射和康普顿冷却以及超新星爆炸、恒星风和紫外辐射的能量反馈控制。我们还考虑了热传导、云-云碰撞和化学富集。我们的模型与以前的研究相同的主题,并改进。恒星形成率的结果是非常有希望的,并同意最近的观测数据的早期类型的星系。这些模型进一步支持了修正后的星系形成的整体方案,该方案最近也得到了高红移数据的加强,导致了所谓的缩小和自上而下的方案。

英文摘要:

We present a multi-phase representation of the ISM in NB-TSPH simulations of galaxy formation and evolution with particular attention to the case of early-type galaxies. Cold gas clouds are described by the so-called sticky particles algorithm. They can freely move throughout the hot ISM medium; stars form within these clouds and the mass exchange among the three baryonic phases (hot gas, cold clouds, stars) is governed by radiative and Compton cooling and energy feedback by supernova (SN) explosions, stellar winds, and UV radiation. We also consider thermal conduction, cloud-cloud collisions, and chemical enrichment. Our model agrees with and improves upon previous studies on the same subject. The results for the star formation rate are very promising and agree with recent observational data on early-type galaxies. These models lend further support to the revised monolithic scheme of galaxy formation, which has recently been also strengthened by high redshift data leading to the so-called downsizing and top-down scenarios.
