晕的结构:对群和团宇宙学的意义

The Structure of Halos: Implications for Group and Cluster Cosmology

Zarija Lukić, Darren Reed, Salman Habib, Katrin Heitmann

摘要:

暗物质晕质量函数是从单个星系到星系团的大范围质量尺度上宇宙学信息的关键储存库。N体模拟已经确定,朋友的朋友(FOF)质量函数具有令人惊讶的准确度(< 10%)的通用形式。质量函数的高质量尾部对初始密度扰动的幅度、平均物质密度参数Omega_m和密度场的暗能量控制的晚期演化具有指数敏感性。然而,观测到的星系团和星系团的质量通常是用球形超密度(SO)质量来表示的,而不是简单地映射到FOF质量。此外,广泛使用的结构形成的晕模型-和晕内星系的晕占有率分布描述-通常利用FOF质量函数的通用形式构建。这再次提出了一个问题,即FOF晕是否可以简单地与球形过密度质量的概念有关。利用理想Navarro-Frenk-White(NFW)晕的Monte Carlo实现和N体模拟的结果,我们研究了晕质量的两种定义之间的关系。我们发现,绝大多数晕(80-85%)的质量范围为10^{12.5}-10 ^{15.5} M_sun/h确实允许两个定义之间的准确映射(~ 5%),但只有当晕浓度是已知的。非孤立的晕分为两大类:那些具有复杂的子结构,是穷人适合NFW配置文件和那些“桥”的(等密度为基础的)FOF算法。对桥接晕的进一步研究表明,这些晕的分数及其卫星质量分布与宇宙学有关。(节略)

英文摘要:

The dark matter halo mass function is a key repository of cosmological information over a wide range of mass scales, from individual galaxies to galaxy clusters. N-body simulations have established that the friends-of-friends (FOF) mass function has a universal form to a surprising level of accuracy (< 10%). The high-mass tail of the mass function is exponentially sensitive to the amplitude of the initial density perturbations, the mean matter density parameter, Omega_m, and to the dark energy controlled late-time evolution of the density field. Observed group and cluster masses, however, are usually stated in terms of a spherical overdensity (SO) mass which does not map simply to the FOF mass. Additionally, the widely used halo models of structure formation -- and halo occupancy distribution descriptions of galaxies within halos -- are often constructed exploiting the universal form of the FOF mass function. This again raises the question of whether FOF halos can be simply related to the notion of a spherical overdensity mass. By employing results from Monte Carlo realizations of ideal Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) halos and N-body simulations, we study the relationship between the two definitions of halo mass. We find that the vast majority of halos (80-85%) in the mass-range 10^{12.5}-10^{15.5} M_sun/h indeed allow for an accurate mapping between the two definitions (~ 5%), but only if the halo concentrations are known. Nonisolated halos fall into two broad classes: those with complex substructure that are poor fits to NFW profiles and those ``bridged'' by the (isodensity-based)FOF algorithm. A closer investigation of the bridged halos reveals that the fraction of these halos and their satellite mass distribution is cosmology dependent. (abridged)
