一个星系形成的暗星系对应模型

A Subhalo-Galaxy Correspondence Model of Galaxy Formation

Juhan Kim, Changbom Park, Yun-Young Choi

摘要:

本文提出了一个在宇宙学N体模拟中分配星系的模型。我们将每个次晕与一个星系联系起来,并假设星系光度是其主次晕质量的单调函数,从而确定光度和形态类型。利用不同类型星系的次晕质量与光度之间的两个简单关系,对星系的形态进行了指定。一种是在固定的晕下质量下,使用一个恒定的早期(E/SO)和晚期(S/Irr)型星系的光度比。另一种假设不同形态类型但光度相同的星系,其晕下质量的比例是恒定的。我们对这些模拟星系的性质与SDSS星系的性质进行了一系列的比较。结果表明,除了高密度区域外,模拟的星系样本成功地再现了观测到的局部数密度分布。研究了作为局域密度函数的光度函数。结果发现,在不同的局域密度环境中观察到的光度函数总体上很好地再现了模拟星系。在低密度区的早期类型的光度函数的亮端和在非常高密度区的两种形态类型的暗端发现离散。在空洞中观察到的早期星系中,有相当一部分似乎经历了相对较新的恒星形成,变得更亮。在密集区域中缺乏暗淡的模拟星系可能是由于中央晕的强大潮汐力破坏了模拟中质量较小的卫星subhalo。发现质光比以类似于在SDSS样品中观察到的方式依赖于局部密度。(节略)

英文摘要:

We propose a model of allocating galaxies in cosmological N-body simulations. we identify each subhalo with a galaxy, and assign luminosity and morphological type assuming that the galaxy luminosity is a monotonic function of its host subhalo mass. The morphology assignment is made by using two simple relations between subhalo mass and galaxy luminosity of different types. One is using a constant ratio in luminosity of early (E/SO) and late (S/Irr) type galaxies at a fixed subhalo mass. And the other assumes that galaxies of different morphological types but having an equal luminosity have a constant ratio in their subhalo masses. We made a series of comparisons of the properties of these simulated galaxies with those of the SDSS galaxies. The resulting simulated galaxy sample is found to successfully reproduce the observed local number density distribution except for in high density regions. The luminosity function is studied as a function of local density. It was found that the observed luminosity functions in different local density environments are overall well-reproduced by the simulated galaxies. Discrepancy is found at the bright end of the luminosity function of early types in the underdense regions and at the faint end of both morphological types in very high density regions. A significant fraction of the observed early type galaxies in voids seems to have undergone a relatively recent star formation and became brighter. The lack of faint simulated galaxies in dense regions may be due to the strong tidal force of the central halo which destroys less massive satellite subhalos around in the simulation. The mass-to-light ratio is found to depend on the local density in the way similar to that observed in the SDSS sample. (abridged)
