在盘状和椭圆星系的等质量和不等质量合并中由BH反馈导致的恒星形成的终止

Termination of star formation by BH feedback in equal- and unequal-mass mergers of disk and elliptical galaxies

Peter H. Johansson, Thorsten Naab, Andreas Burkert

摘要:

我们提出了二元星系合并模拟的气体丰富的磁盘(SP-SP),早期型星系和磁盘(E-SP,混合合并),合并早期型星系(E-E,干合并)具有不同的质量比和不同的祖形态。模拟包括辐射冷却、恒星形成和黑洞吸积以及相关的反馈过程。我们发现,对于Sp-Sp合并,随着母体质量比的增大,恒星形成速率和BH吸积速率的峰值减小,中心黑洞和新形成恒星的生长时间尺度增大.在盘合并中,BH反馈导致的恒星形成的终止对于更高的祖先质量比(例如3:1或更高)来说是不那么重要的。此外,BH反馈的加入有效地抑制了干E-E合并和混合E-Sp合并中的恒星形成。

英文摘要:

We present binary galaxy merger simulations of gas-rich disks (Sp-Sp), of early-type galaxies and disks (E-Sp, mixed mergers), and mergers of early-type galaxies (E-E, dry mergers) with varying mass ratios and different progenitor morphologies. The simulations include radiative cooling, star formation and black hole (BH) accretion and the associated feedback processes. We find for Sp-Sp mergers, that the peak star formation rate and BH accretion rate decrease and the growth timescales of the central black holes and newly formed stars increase with higher progenitor mass ratios. The termination of star formation by BH feedback in disk mergers is significantly less important for higher progenitor mass ratios (e.g. 3:1 and higher). In addition, the inclusion of BH feedback suppresses efficiently star formation in dry E-E mergers and mixed E-Sp mergers.
