The chemical evolution of a Milky Way-like galaxy: the importance of a cosmologically motivated infall law

Edoardo Colavitti, Francesca Matteucci, Giuseppe Murante

摘要:

我们的目标是找到一个宇宙学动机的下落法,以了解如果LambdaCDM宇宙学可以重现的主要化学特征的银河系般的螺旋星系。在这项工作中,我们测试了几种不同的气体下落定律,从Chiappini等人提出的银河系化学演化的两个下落模型开始,但重点是从宇宙学模拟得出的定律,它遵循一个和谐的LambdaCDM宇宙学。通过一个详细的太阳附近区化学演化模型,我们研究了不同的气体降落规律对丰度分布和G矮星金属丰度分布的影响。宇宙学气体下落定律预言了两个主要的气体吸积事件。通过这个宇宙学动机的下落法,我们研究的恒星形成率,SNIa和SNII率,在太阳附近的气体和恒星的总量和几个化学丰度的行为。我们发现,两个下落模型的结果是完全兼容的银河系的演化与宇宙吸积定律。来自DM晕的气体组装历史,从形态学的角度来看,与晚型星系的形成相兼容,可以产生与现有观测一致的化学性质。

英文摘要:

We aim at finding a cosmologically motivated infall law to understand if the LambdaCDM cosmology can reproduce the main chemical characteristics of a Milky Way-like spiral galaxy. In this work we test several different gas infall laws, starting from that suggested in the two-infall model for the chemical evolution of the Milky Way by Chiappini et al., but focusing on laws derived from cosmological simulations which follows a concordance LambdaCDM cosmology. By means of a detailed chemical evolution model for the solar vicinity, we study the effects of the different gas infall laws on the abundance patterns and the G-dwarf metallicity distribution. The cosmological gas infall law predicts two main gas accretion episodes. By means of this cosmologically motivated infall law, we study the star formation rate, the SNIa and SNII rate, the total amount of gas and stars in the solar neighbourhood and the behaviour of several chemical abundances. We find that the results of the two-infall model are fully compatible with the evolution of the Milky Way with cosmological accretion laws. A gas assembly history derived from a DM halo, compatible with the formation of a late-type galaxy from the morphological point of view, can produce chemical properties in agreement with the available observations.
