摘要:

通过星系演化模型,我们探索的直接后果的LCDM宇宙演化的星系盘的大小演化,有意避免中间(不确定的)天体物理过程的介绍。基于旋转曲线的形状和简单性准则的指导下,我们采用平均星系质量重子分数为0.03。为了研究一般行为,只分析具有平均初始条件的模型。恒星和B波段的有效半径,R* 和RB,个别星系的增长显着与时间(由内而外盘形成)的法律,是弱依赖于质量,M*,或光度,LB。然而,在固定M* 时,R* 随z的变化是缓慢的;对于z<2.5,R*(M*=const)~(1+z)^-0.4。另一方面,在固定LB下,RB随z的变化很强,类似于单个模型的RB递减规律;当z<0.75时,RB(LB=const)~(1+z)^-0.85,当z> 0.75时,RB(LB =const)~(1+z)^-1.1。我们还发现,在z=0时,R* ~ M*^0.38,RB ~ LB ^0.40,这些关系的斜率在z ~ 3时几乎保持不变。我们的预测是在合理的协议与观测推论的典型半径变化与z的晚型星系更明亮(质量)比高值所施加的选择效应。该模型似乎也是一致的,在大的散射,RB和LB值从非完整的样本的子L * 晚型星系与可用的休息帧光度信息在不同的Z的。LCDM晕的性质和演化似乎是星系盘大小演化的主要驱动力。然而,模型揭示了一个潜在的困难,在解释所观察到的陡峭的RB-LB的关系相对于R*-M* 的一个,一个效果有关的良好建立的颜色-星等关系。

英文摘要:

By means of galaxy evolutionary models, we explore the direct consequences of the LCDM cosmogony on the size evolution of galactic discs, avoiding intentionally the introduction of intermediate (uncertain) astrophysical processes. Based on the shape of the rotation curves and guided by a simplicity criterion, we adopt an average galaxy mass baryon fraction of 0.03. In order to study general behaviors, only models with the average initial conditions are analyzed. The stellar and B-band effective radii, R* and RB, of individual galaxies grow significantly with time (inside-out disc formation) with laws that are weakly dependent on mass, M*,or luminosity, LB. However, the change of R* with z at fixed M* is slow; for z<2.5, R*(M*=const) ~ (1+z)^-0.4. On the other hand, the change of RB with z at a fixed LB is strong and resembles the RB decreasing law of the individual models; roughly RB(LB=const) ~ (1+z)^-0.85 for z<0.75, and ~(1+z)^-1.1 for z>0.75. We find also that at z=0, R* ~ M*^0.38 and RB ~ LB^0.40, remaining the slopes of these relations almost the same up to z ~ 3. Our predictions are in reasonable agreement with observational inferences on the typical radius change with z of late-type galaxies more luminous (massive) than high values imposed by the selection effects. The models seem also to be consistent, within the large scatter, with the RB and LB values obtained from non complete samples of sub-L* late-type galaxies with available rest-frame photometric information at different z's. The properties and evolution of the LCDM haloes seem to be the main drivers of galaxy disc size evolution. Nevertheless, the models reveal a potential difficulty in explaining the observed steepening of the RB-LB relation with respect to the R*-M* one, an effect related to the well established color-magnitude relation.
