从漂移集理论得到的晕质量函数。II。扩散屏障

The Halo Mass Function from Excursion Set Theory. II. The Diffusing Barrier

Michele Maggiore, Antonio Riotto

摘要:

在漂移集理论中,晕质量函数的计算被映射到存在障碍的首次通过时间过程中,该障碍在球形坍缩模型中是常数,而在椭球坍缩模型中是平滑密度场方差的固定函数。然而,N体模拟表明,暗物质晕是通过平滑的吸积、剧烈的碰撞和碎裂的混合物生长的,将晕坍缩建模为球形,甚至是椭球形,是一个明显的过度简化。我们建议,一些固有的物理复杂性的晕形成的现实描述可以包括在漂移集理论框架,至少在一个有效的水平,考虑到崩溃的临界值是不是一个固定的常数$δ_c$,在球形崩溃模型,也不是一个固定的函数的方差$σ$的平滑密度场,在椭球崩溃模型,而是其本身是一个随机变量,其分散性反映了潜在动态的许多复杂方面。在扩散势垒存在的情况下求解首次通过时间问题,我们发现Press-Schechter质量函数中的指数因子从$\exp\{-δ_c^2/2σ^2\}$变为$\exp\{-aδ_c^2/2σ^2\}$,其中$a=1/(1+D_B)$和$D_B$是势垒的扩散系数。$D_B$的数值以及因此$a$的相应值尤其取决于用于识别晕圈的算法。我们讨论的物理起源的随机性的障碍,我们比较N体模拟中发现的质量函数,为相同的晕定义。[删节]

英文摘要:

In excursion set theory the computation of the halo mass function is mapped into a first-passage time process in the presence of a barrier, which in the spherical collapse model is a constant and in the ellipsoidal collapse model is a fixed function of the variance of the smoothed density field. However, N-body simulations show that dark matter halos grow through a mixture of smooth accretion, violent encounters and fragmentations, and modeling halo collapse as spherical, or even as ellipsoidal, is a significant oversimplification. We propose that some of the physical complications inherent to a realistic description of halo formation can be included in the excursion set theory framework, at least at an effective level, by taking into account that the critical value for collapse is not a fixed constant $δ_c$, as in the spherical collapse model, nor a fixed function of the variance $σ$ of the smoothed density field, as in the ellipsoidal collapse model, but rather is itself a stochastic variable, whose scatter reflects a number of complicated aspects of the underlying dynamics. Solving the first-passage time problem in the presence of a diffusing barrier we find that the exponential factor in the Press-Schechter mass function changes from $\exp\{-δ_c^2/2σ^2\}$ to $\exp\{-aδ_c^2/2σ^2\}$, where $a=1/(1+D_B)$ and $D_B$ is the diffusion coefficient of the barrier. The numerical value of $D_B$, and therefore the corresponding value of $a$, depends among other things on the algorithm used for identifying halos. We discuss the physical origin of the stochasticity of the barrier and we compare with the mass function found in N-body simulations, for the same halo definition.[Abridged]
