用MINGA模拟归并Galerkin--用动态摩擦改进约束N体

Modeling Merging Galaxies using MINGA - Improving Restricted N-body by Dynamical Friction

Hanns P. Petsch, Christian Theis

摘要:

由于扩展的参数空间(除其他问题外),模拟相互作用的星系以再现观测到的系统仍然是一个挑战。轨道和基本的星系参数可以通过快速模拟技术来处理,例如限制N体方法,Toomre & Toomre(1972)在基础工作中应用。这种方法允许在短时间内研究数百万个模型。经典的限制N体方法的一个困难是缺少轨道衰变,不允许星系合并。在这里,我们提出了一个扩展的限制N体方法,包括动力学摩擦。这种治疗已经开发了一套自洽的合并模拟的定量比较。通过改变动态摩擦(形式主义,强度和方向),我们选择了一组超过250000模拟的最佳拟合参数。我们表明,我们的治疗可靠地再现合并盘星系的质量比高达q=1/3之间的主机和卫星的轨道衰减和潮汐功能。我们实现了这种技术到我们的遗传算法为基础的建模代码MINGA和目前的第一个结果。

英文摘要:

Modeling interacting galaxies to reproduce observed systems is still a challenge due to the extended parameter space (among other problems). Orbit and basic galaxy parameters can be tackled by fast simulation techniques like the restricted N-body method, applied in the fundamental work by Toomre & Toomre (1972). This approach allows today for the study of millions of models in a short time. One difficulty for the classical restricted N-body method is the missing orbital decay, not allowing for galaxy mergers. Here we present an extension of the restricted N-body method including dynamical friction. This treatment has been developed by a quantitative comparison with a set of self-consistent merger simulations. By varying the dynamical friction (formalism, strength and direction), we selected the best-fitting parameters for a set of more than 250000 simulations. We show that our treatment reliably reproduces the orbital decay and tidal features of merging disk galaxies for mass ratios up to q=1/3 between host and satellite. We implemented this technique into our genetic algorithm based modeling code MINGA and present first results.
