第一个星系晕的聚集

The clustering of the first galaxy halos

摘要:

我们探讨了高红移暗物质晕的成簇特性,重点研究了质量足以容纳红移10或更大的早期恒星或星系的晕。晕是从一系列暗物质模拟中提取的,这些模拟能够在高达30的红移下分辨到"迷你晕"的质量尺度,从而涵盖了预期的能够承载发光物体和再电离源的晕的全部质量范围。在我们所有的模拟中,大尺度上的晕聚类与Sheth,Mo和Tormen晕偏置关系一致,大大扩展了大尺度聚类在10 - 20%水平上被证实是"普遍的"的范围(这意味着,例如,z = 0的星系团质量的3 σ晕与z = 10的星系质量的3 σ晕具有相同的质量分布大尺度偏差)。然而,在小尺度上,我们的大质量晕(>~10^9 Msun/h)在这些高红移下的聚集比从低红移外推的小尺度晕聚集相比预期的要强。这意味着"非普遍性"的规模依赖晕聚类,至少对于常用的参数化的规模依赖的偏见,我们认为。我们提供了一个适合的规模依赖的偏见在我们的结果。本研究为利用极高红移星系(红移~10)作为宇宙学和早期星系形成的探测器提供了基础。我们还表明,质量和晕运动学的强烈影响有限的模拟量。这表明在有限体积的流体动力学模拟中可能对气体动力学产生不利影响,例如在模拟"第一颗恒星"的形成中是典型的,但需要进一步研究。

英文摘要:

We explore the clustering properties of high redshift dark matter halos, focusing on halos massive enough to host early generations of stars or galaxies at redshift 10 and greater. Halos are extracted from an array of dark matter simulations able to resolve down to the "mini-halo" mass scale at redshifts as high as 30, thus encompassing the expected full mass range of halos capable of hosting luminous objects and sources of reionization. Halo clustering on large-scales agrees with the Sheth, Mo & Tormen halo bias relation within all our simulations, greatly extending the regime where large-scale clustering is confirmed to be "universal" at the 10-20% level (which means, for example, that 3sigma halos of cluster mass at z=0 have the same large-scale bias with respect to the mass distribution as 3sigma halos of galaxy mass at z=10). However, on small-scales, the clustering of our massive halos (> ~10^9 Msun/h) at these high redshifts is stronger than expected from comparisons with small-scale halo clustering extrapolated from lower redshifts. This implies "non-universality" in the scale-dependence of halo clustering, at least for the commonly used parameterizations of the scale-dependence of bias that we consider. We provide a fit for the scale-dependence of bias in our results. This study provides a basis for using extraordinarily high redshift galaxies (redshift ~10) as a probe of cosmology and galaxy formation at its earliest stages. We show also that mass and halo kinematics are strongly affected by finite simulation volumes. This suggests the potential for adverse affects on gas dynamics in hydrodynamic simulations of limited volumes, such as is typical in simulations of the formation of the "first stars", though further study is warranted.
