MOND中棒的形成和星系相互作用

Bar formation and galaxy interactions in MOND

O. Tiret, F. Combes

摘要:

LCDM模型是最常被承认的描述我们宇宙的模型。尽管在大尺度结构的形成方面取得了巨大的成功,但在星系尺度上仍有一些问题没有得到解决。必须探索替代方案,如修改重力。我们已经开发了一个N体代码能够解决在一个自洽的方式在MOND星系动力学。第一个版本的代码包括在一个统一的笛卡尔网格上求解修改后的泊松方程,以推导出每个粒子上的引力。利用它,我们研究了孤立星系的演化,如棒不稳定性,角动量转移等。发现MOND中的Galerkin形成更强的棒,比牛顿动力学中的暗物质更快。在第二步中,我们在代码中实现了自适应网格细化技术,允许在更大的尺度上运行对比度更高的模拟,比如相互作用的星系。在相互作用过程中,动力学摩擦力在MOND模型中不太重要,并且合并时间比DM模型长。讨论了两种模型中相互作用星系的不同形态。所有的模拟都是在修正引力和牛顿引力的框架下进行的,暗物质具有等效的初始条件。

英文摘要:

The LCDM model is the most commonly admitted to describe our Universe. In spite of a great success with regard to the large scale structure formation, some problems are still unresolved at galactic scales. Alternative scenarios have to be explored such as modified gravity. We have developed an N-body code able to solve in a self consistent way the galactic dynamics in MOND. The first version of the code consists in solving the modified Poisson equation on a uniform Cartesian grid to derive the gravitational force on each particle. With it, we study the evolution of isolated galaxies, like the bar instability, the angular momentum transfer, etc. Galaxies in MOND are found to form stronger bars, faster than in Newtonian dynamics with dark matter. In a second step, we implement an adaptive mesh refinement technique in the code, allowing to run more contrasted simulations on larger scales, like interacting galaxies. During an interaction, the dynamical friction forces are less important in MOND, and merging times are longer than in DM models. The different morphologies of interacting galaxies in the two models are discussed. All simulations are performed in both frameworks of modified gravity and Newtonian gravity with dark matter with equivalent initial conditions.
