Angular momentum -LCDM模型和SDSS中的大尺度结构对齐

Angular momentum-Large-scale structure alignments in LCDM models and the SDSS

Dante Paz, Federico Stasyszyn, Nelson Padilla

摘要:

我们研究了在宇宙学数值模拟和斯隆数字巡天数据发布6中的真实数据中单个物体的角动量和大尺度结构之间的对齐。为此,我们测量模拟晕和观测星系周围的两点交叉关联函数的各向异性,分别研究1-和2-晕制度。在LCDM模拟暗物质晕的角动量的对齐被发现是依赖于规模和晕质量。在大的距离(2-晕制度),高质量晕的自旋优先取向的方向垂直于物质的分布;较低的质量系统显示出较弱的趋势,甚至可能逆转,以显示在平面上的物质分布的角动量。在1-halo项制度,角动量是在垂直于物质分布的方向对齐,效果是强于1-halo项和增加更高的质量系统。在观测方面,我们专注于我们的研究在斯隆数字巡天,数据发布6(SDSS-DR 6)与拉长的明显形状的星系,并研究相对于长半轴的对齐。我们发现在所有样品的长半轴方向上都有过量的结构;红色样品显示出最高的排列(2.7+-0.08%),并表明扁平球体的角动量倾向于垂直于大尺度结构。(节录)

英文摘要:

We study the alignments between the angular momentum of individual objects and the large-scale structure in cosmological numerical simulations and real data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, Data Release 6. To this end we measure anisotropies in the two point cross-correlation function around simulated halos and observed galaxies, studying separately the 1- and 2-halo regimes. The alignment of the angular momentum of dark-matter haloes in LCDM simulations is found to be dependent on scale and halo mass. At large distances (2-halo regime), the spins of high mass haloes are preferentially oriented in the direction perpendicular to the distribution of matter; lower mass systems show a weaker trend that may even reverse to show an angular momentum in the plane of the matter distribution. In the 1-halo term regime, the angular momentum is aligned in the direction perpendicular to the matter distribution; the effect is stronger than for the 1-halo term and increases for higher mass systems. On the observational side, we focus our study on galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, Data Release 6 (SDSS-DR6) with elongated apparent shapes, and study alignments with respect to the major semi-axis. We find an excess of structure in the direction of the major semi-axis for all samples; the red sample shows the highest alignment (2.7+-0.08%) and indicates that the angular momentum of flattened spheroidals tends to be perpendicular to the large-scale structure.
