LCDM宇宙学中的Milky Way型星系

Milky Way type galaxies in a LCDM cosmology

摘要:

我们分析了从千年模拟的公开星系目录中提取的52,000个银河系(MW)类型星系的样本,目的是统计研究它们与我们银河系相比的性质的差异和相似之处。模型星系被选择为处于最大圆速度在200-250 km/seg范围内的晕中,并且具有与银河系相似的膨胀盘比。我们发现MW星系是通过冷气体和小卫星系统的吸积而安静地形成的。只有12%的模型星系在其一生中经历了一次重大的合并。大多数恒星是在原地形成的,只有大约15%的最终质量是通过吸积形成的。超新星和活动星系核反馈在这些系统的演化中起着重要的作用。在高红移时,当MW祖先的势阱较浅时,超新星爆炸驱动的风会吹出大部分气体和金属。随着系统质量的增加,SN反馈效应减弱,活动星系核反馈取而代之,在较低红移的恒星形成活动中起着更重要的调节作用。虽然模型银河系星系已被选定位于一个狭窄的范围内的最大圆周速度,但它们仍然表现出显着的分散在最终恒星的质量和金属丰度。我们的分析表明,这种分散的结果从不同的吸积历史的母暗物质晕。静态方面,我们也发现了银河系在相同质量范围内是典型的Sb/Sc星系的证据,为限制星系形成的数值模型提供了一个合适的基准

英文摘要:

We analyse a sample of 52,000 Milky Way (MW) type galaxies drawn from the publicly available galaxy catalogue of the Millennium Simulation with the aim of studying statistically the differences and similarities of their properties in comparison to our Galaxy. Model galaxies are chosen to lie in haloes with maximum circular velocities in the range 200-250 km/seg and to have bulge-to-disk ratios similar to that of the Milky Way. We find that model MW galaxies formed quietly through the accretion of cold gas and small satellite systems. Only 12 per cent of our model galaxies experienced a major merger during their lifetime. Most of the stars formed in situ, with only about 15 per cent of the final mass gathered through accretion. Supernovae and AGN feedback play an important role in the evolution of these systems. At high redshifts, when the potential wells of the MW progenitors are shallower, winds driven by supernovae explosions blow out a large fraction of the gas and metals. As the systems grow in mass, SN feedback effects decrease and AGN feedback takes over, playing a more important role in the regulation of the star formation activity at lower redshifts. Although model Milky Way galaxies have been selected to lie in a narrow range of maximum circular velocities, they nevertheless exhibit a significant dispersion in the final stellar masses and metallicities. Our analysis suggests that this dispersion results from the different accretion histories of the parent dark matter haloes. Statically, we also find evidences to support the Milky Way as a typical Sb/Sc galaxy in the same mass range, providing a suitable benchmark to constrain numerical models of galaxy formation
