合并是造成普遍晕轮性质的原因吗?

Are mergers responsible for universal halo properties?

Jie Wang, Simon D. M. White

摘要:

冷暗物质(CDM)的N体模拟结果表明,在这种分级结构形成模型中,暗物质晕的密度分布、相空间密度分布、轴比分布、自旋参数分布和内部比角动量分布等性质遵循“普适”规律或分布。在这里,我们研究热暗物质(HDM)占主导地位的宇宙中的第一代晕的性质,作为一个例子的晕形成通过整体塌缩。我们发现所有这些普遍性在这种情况下也存在。Halo密度分布与Navarro等人(1997)的分布非常吻合,质量超过两个数量级。浓度参数依赖于质量,如$c \propto M^{0.2}$,逆转了在分层CDM宇宙中发现的依赖性。然而,浓度-形成时间关系在两种情况下是相似的:较早形成的晕往往比其较晚形成的对应物更集中。在HDM情况下,晕形成历史也具有两个阶段的特征:快速吸积的早期阶段,随后是较慢的增长。此外,HDM和CDM两种情况下的晕的其他性质的统计数据没有显著差异:相空间密度分布、速度各向异性分布、形状参数分布、自旋参数分布和内部比角动量分布在两种情况下都是相似的。只有子结构内容有很大不同。这些结果表明,合并并没有发挥关键作用,在建立的普遍性,从而矛盾的模型,解释他们合并的后果。

英文摘要:

N-body simulations of Cold Dark Matter (CDM) have shown that, in this hierarchical structure formation model, dark matter halo properties, such as the density profile, the phase-space density profile, the distribution of axial ratio, the distribution of spin parameter, and the distribution of internal specific angular momentum follow `universal' laws or distributions. Here we study the properties of the first generation of haloes in a Hot Dark Matter (HDM) dominated universe, as an example of halo formation through monolithic collapse. We find all these universalities to be present in this case also. Halo density profiles are very well fit by the Navarro et al (1997) profile over two orders of magnitude in mass. The concentration parameter depends on mass as $c \propto M^{0.2}$,reversing the dependence found in a hierarchical CDM universe. However, the concentration-formation time relation is similar in the two cases: earlier forming haloes tend to be more concentrated than their later forming counterparts. Halo formation histories are also characterized by two phases in the HDM case: an early phase of rapid accretion followed by slower growth. Furthermore, there is no significant difference between the HDM and CDM cases concerning the statistics of other halo properties: the phase-space density profile; the velocity anisotropy profile; the distribution of shape parameters; the distribution of spin parameter, and the distribution of internal specific angular momentum are all similar in the two cases. Only substructure content differs dramatically. These results indicate that mergers do not play a pivotal role in establishing the universalities, thus contradicting models which explain them as consequences of mergers.
