Galvanic和Disk+Bulge形成的合并历史

Merger History of Galaxies and Disk+Bulge Formation

S. Khochfar

摘要:

我们讨论了星系形态的CDM范式内的隆起形成的合并和磁盘的增长,通过冷却气体和随后的恒星形成的假设下的过渡。基于这两个竞争过程的相对重要性,有可能对预期的星系形态混合做出预测。特别是,我们在这里讨论的大规模磁盘星系的低膨胀总质量比的一代。我们的研究结果表明,如果在主合并过程中,祖先盘被完全破坏,通过主合并和随后的盘再生长,很难产生足够大质量的B/T $< 0.2$盘星系。平均而言,低B/T星系必须在$z \ge 2$进行最后一次大合并。主要的限制因素是在星系最后一次大合并后的后期重新生长大质量盘的能力。考虑到小合并($4 \ge M_1/M_2$,$M_1 \ge M_2$)对球核形成的贡献,我们恢复了大质量低B/T盘星系的正确分数,表明小合并在大质量低B/T盘星系的形成中起着重要作用.

英文摘要:

We discuss the transitions of galaxy morphologies within the CDM paradigm under the assumption of bulge formation in mergers and disk growth via cooling of gas and subsequent star formation. Based on the relative importance of these two competing processes it is possible to make predictions on the expected morphological mix of galaxies. In particular we here discuss the generation of massive disk galaxies with low bulge-to-total mass ratios. Our results indicate that it is difficult to generate enough massive disk galaxies with B/T $< 0.2$ via major mergers and subsequent disk re-growth, if during the major merger progenitor disks get disrupted completely. On average low B/T galaxies must have had there last major merger at $z \ge 2$. The main limiting factor is the ability to re-grow massive disks at late times after the last major merger of a galaxy. Taking into account the contribution from minor mergers ($4 \ge M_1/M_2$, $M_1 \ge M_2$) to the formation of bulges, we recover the right fraction of massive low B/T disk galaxies, indicating that minor mergers play an important role in the formation of massive low B/T disk galaxies.
