带反馈的孤立矮半导体的形成

Formation of Isolated Dwarf Galaxies with Feedback

Till Sawala, Cecilia Scannapieco, Umberto Maio, Simon D. M. White

摘要:

我们目前的高分辨率流体动力学模拟结果的形成和演化的矮星系。我们的模拟从宇宙学的初始条件在高红移。它们包括依赖金属的冷却,恒星形成,II型和Ia型超新星的反馈以及紫外线背景辐射,其物理配方与以前对银河系类型星系的研究中应用的配方相同。我们发现,结合反馈和宇宙紫外线背景的结果在形成的星系与本地群矮椭球体的属性相似,他们的效果是强烈的调节的引力势的深度。考虑到这一点,我们的模型自然地再现了观测到的光度和金属丰度。最后一个天体的晕质量在2.3x10^8和1.1x10^9太阳质量之间,平均速度色散在6.5和9.7 kms-1之间,恒星质量在5x10^5和1.2x10^7太阳质量之间,金属丰度中值在[Fe/H] = -1.8和-1.1之间,半光半径在200到300 pc的数量级,都与本地群矮椭球体相当。我们的模拟还表明,今天观测到的矮球状星系位于大约10^9太阳质量的晕质量阈值附近,这与恒星运动学数据一致,超新星反馈不仅足以完全驱逐星际介质并留下剩余的无气体,而且反馈的组合,紫外线辐射和自屏蔽建立了一个类似于银河系和M31卫星观测到的年龄分布的二分法。

英文摘要:

We present results of high resolution hydrodynamical simulations of the formation and evolution of dwarf galaxies. Our simulations start from cosmological initial conditions at high redshift. They include metal-dependent cooling, star formation, feedback from type II and type Ia supernovae and UV background radiation, with physical recipes identical to those applied in a previous study of Milky Way type galaxies. We find that a combination of feedback and the cosmic UV background results in the formation of galaxies with properties similar to the Local Group dwarf spheroidals, and that their effect is strongly moderated by the depth of the gravitational potential. Taking this into account, our models naturally reproduce the observed luminosities and metallicities. The final objects have halo masses between 2.3x10^8 and 1.1x10^9 solar masses, mean velocity dispersions between 6.5 and 9.7 kms-1, stellar masses ranging from 5x10^5 to 1.2x10^7 solar masses, median metallicities between [Fe/H] = -1.8 and -1.1, and half-light radii of the order of 200 to 300 pc, all comparable with Local Group dwarf spheroidals. Our simulations also indicate that the dwarf spheroidal galaxies observed today lie near a halo mass threshold around 10^9 solar masses, in agreement with stellar kinematic data, where supernova feedback not only suffices to completely expel the interstellar medium and leave the residual gas-free, but where the combination of feedback, UV radiation and self-shielding establishes a dichotomy of age distributions similar to that observed in the Milky Way and M31 satellites.
