高红移星系际重子富集区

Intergalactic baryon-rich regions at high redshift

A. Gayler Harford, Andrew J. S. Hamilton, Nickolay Y. Gnedin

摘要:

利用再电离的高分辨率宇宙学模拟,我们研究了红移为5.1的气体和暗物质形成的不同结构。富含重子的区域形成了少量的细丝,它们连接着模拟中最大的星系。对十个最大的星系进行更详细的研究,揭示了从星系中心辐射出的细长的气体细丝,宽度约为5千秒差距。从每一个灯丝延伸出来的是一些光滑的、薄的、几乎是平面的气体片。相比之下,暗物质则集中在类球形物体中。这些结果对我们理解早期宇宙的结构形成和莱曼阿尔法森林有影响。

英文摘要:

Using a high resolution cosmological simulation of reionization we have examined the differing structures formed by gas and dark matter at a redshift of 5.1. Baryon-rich regions form a small number of filaments, which connect the largest galaxies in the simulation. More detailed examination of the ten largest galaxies reveals long, slender gaseous filaments about 5 proper kpc in width radiating from the galaxy centers. Extending out from each filament are a few smooth, thin, nearly planar gaseous sheets. By contrast, the dark matter concentrates into quasi-spherical bodies. The results have implications for our understanding of structure formation in the early universe and of the Lyman alpha forest.
