略论伽玛刀的生存与消亡

On The Survival and Abundance of Disk-dominated Galaxies

Jun Koda, Milos Milosavljevic, Paul R. Shapiro

摘要:

我们研究了Lambda CDM宇宙中盘控星系的形成。它们的存在被认为是对Lambda CDM宇宙学的一个挑战,因为星系合并会使恒星盘各向同性,并触发气体盘中的角动量传输,从而促进中心恒星球状体的形成。在这里,我们假设,从气体丰富的磁盘恒星球状体的形成是由两个参数,星系合并,合并暗物质晕的质量比,和维里速度较大的合并晕的特点。我们利用合并的历史产生的宇宙学密度场的实现来计算的暗物质晕,避免了球体形成的分数,并比较派生的统计数据与球体的占领分数在调查附近的星系。例如,我们发现,如果导致中心球状体形成的合并是质量比M2/M1 > 0.3和维里速度Vvir,1 > 55 km/s的合并,那么盘主导星系在Lambda CDM中的存活率就足以解释宇宙中观察到的盘主导星系的分数表示。我们讨论这个标准的物理起源。

英文摘要:

We study the formation of disk-dominated galaxies in a Lambda CDM universe. Their existence is considered to be a challenge for the Lambda CDM cosmology, because galaxy mergers isotropize stellar disks and trigger angular momentum transport in gas disks, thus fostering the formation of central stellar spheroids. Here, we postulate that the formation of stellar spheroids from gas-rich disks is controlled by two parameters that characterize galaxy mergers, the mass ratio of merging dark matter halos, and the virial velocity of the larger merging halo. We utilize merger histories generated from realizations of the cosmological density field to calculate the fraction of dark matter halos that have avoided spheroid formation, and compare the derived statistics with the spheroid occupation fractions in surveys of nearby galaxies. We find, for example, that the survival rate of disk-dominated galaxies in Lambda CDM is just high enough to explain the observed fractional representation of disk-dominated galaxies in the universe if the only mergers which lead to central spheroid formation are those with mass ratios M2/M1 > 0.3 and virial velocities Vvir,1 > 55 km/s. We discuss the physical origin of this criterion.
