矮星系形成中的恒星反馈

Stellar Feedback in Dwarf Galaxy Formation

Sergey Mashchenko, James Wadsley, H. M. P. Couchman

摘要:

矮星系对宇宙学模型提出了重大挑战。特别是,目前的模型预测的暗物质密度是发散的中心,与观察表明一个近似恒定的中心密度的核心形成鲜明对比。来自超新星爆炸和恒星风的能量反馈被认为是形成矮星系演化的主要因素。我们提出了详细的宇宙学模拟,有足够的分辨率来模拟相关的物理过程,并直接评估恒星反馈对矮星系可观测性质的影响。我们表明,反馈驱动大规模的,大量的星际气体运动,导致显着的引力势波动和随之而来的减少中心物质密度,使理论预测与观测一致。

英文摘要:

Dwarf galaxies pose significant challenges for cosmological models. In particular, current models predict a dark matter density that is divergent at the center, in sharp contrast with observations which indicate an approximately constant central density core. Energy feedback, from supernova explosions and stellar winds, has been proposed as a major factor shaping the evolution of dwarf galaxies. We present detailed cosmological simulations with sufficient resolution both to model the relevant physical processes and to directly assess the impact of stellar feedback on observable properties of dwarf galaxies. We show that feedback drives large-scale, bulk motion of the interstellar gas resulting in significant gravitational potential fluctuations and a consequent reduction in the central matter density, bringing the theoretical predictions in agreement with observations.
