冷暗物质晕中子结构的命运

The Fate of Substructures in Cold Dark Matter Haloes

R. E. Angulo, C. G. Lacey, C. M. Baugh, C. S Frenk

摘要:

我们使用千年模拟,一个大的,高分辨率的N体模拟的结构在LambdaCDM宇宙学的演变,研究大样本的暗物质晕内的子结构的属性和命运。我们发现,subhalo质量函数偏离显着的幂律在高质量端。我们还发现子结构的径向和角向分布依赖于次晕质量。特别是,高质量的subhaloes往往是不太径向集中,并有角分布更接近的方向垂直于旋转的主机晕比他们的质量较低的同行。我们发现,合并之间的subhaloes发生。这些倾向于在吸积到主晕之前已经动态关联的子结构之间。对于质量大于主晕0.001倍的次晕,它更有可能与中央或主次晕合并,而不是与另一个比它更大的次晕合并。对于较低的质量,subhalo-subhalo合并变得同样可能合并与主subhalo。我们的研究结果对星系性质随环境的变化以及在星系形成模型中对合并的处理具有一定的意义。

英文摘要:

We use the Millennium Simulation, a large, high resolution N-body simulation of the evolution of structure in a LambdaCDM cosmology, to study the properties and fate of substructures within a large sample of dark matter haloes. We find that the subhalo mass function departs significantly from a power law at the high mass end. We also find that the radial and angular distributions of substructures depend on subhalo mass. In particular, high mass subhaloes tend to be less radially concentrated and to have angular distributions closer to the direction perpendicular to the spin of the host halo than their less massive counterparts. We find that mergers between subhaloes occur. These tend to be between substructures that were already dynamically associated before accretion into the main halo. For subhaloes larger than 0.001 times the mass of the host halo, it is more likely that the subhalo will merge with the central or main subhalo than with another subhalo larger than itself. For lower masses, subhalo-subhalo mergers become equally likely to mergers with the main subhalo. Our results have implications for the variation of galaxy properties with environment and for the treatment of mergers in galaxy formation models.
