暗物质晕生长的环境依赖性I:晕合并率

Environmental Dependence of Dark Matter Halo Growth I: Halo Merger Rates

Onsi Fakhouri, Chung-Pei Ma

摘要:

在早期的论文中,我们量化的平均合并率的暗物质晕的红移z的函数,后代晕质量M0,和祖晕质量比xi使用千年模拟的LCDM宇宙学。在这里,我们扩大了研究和调查的合并率的晕对周围环境的依赖。一些当地的质量过密度变量,包括和排除晕质量本身,测试作为衡量晕的环境。简单的函数依赖于z,M0,和xi的合并率在我们早期的工作中发现在很大程度上保留在不同的环境中,但我们发现,合并率的整体幅度与环境密度有很强的正相关性。对于银河系质量晕,我们发现合并发生在dennial区域比在z=0和更高的红移的空洞更频繁约2.5倍。质量较大的晕也显示出类似的趋势。我们提出了一个适合的形式,这种环境的依赖性,是一个函数的质量和局部密度,是有效的z=2。祖(或条件)质量函数的振幅显示出同样强的相关性与当地的超密度,这表明扩展的Press-Schechter模型晕增长需要修改,以纳入环境的影响。

英文摘要:

In an earlier paper we quantified the mean merger rate of dark matter haloes as a function of redshift z, descendant halo mass M0, and progenitor halo mass ratio xi using the Millennium simulation of the LCDM cosmology. Here we broaden that study and investigate the dependence of the merger rate of haloes on their surrounding environment. A number of local mass overdensity variables, both including and excluding the halo mass itself, are tested as measures of a halo's environment. The simple functional dependence on z, M0, and xi of the merger rate found in our earlier work is largely preserved in different environments, but we find that the overall amplitude of the merger rate has a strong positive correlation with the environmental densities. For galaxy-mass haloes, we find mergers to occur ~2.5 times more frequently in the densest regions than in voids at both z=0 and higher redshifts. Higher-mass haloes show similar trends. We present a fitting form for this environmental dependence that is a function of both mass and local density and is valid out to z=2. The amplitude of the progenitor (or conditional) mass function shows a similarly strong correlation with local overdensity, suggesting that the extended Press-Schechter model for halo growth needs to be modified to incorporate environmental effects.
