倾斜星系的冲压压力剥离

Ram pressure stripping of tilted galaxies

摘要:

星系团中星系的冲压压力剥离可以产生缺乏气体的盘。以前的各种方法的基础上的数值模拟表明,除了近边缘的磁盘取向,剥离量取决于倾角很小。继我们之前对正面剥离的研究之后,我们用磁盘倾斜角扩展了参数集,并详细探索了冲压压力对倾斜星系星际内容(ISM)的影响,这些倾斜星系在不同的星系团环境中运行,具有紧凑或扩展的分布。集群内介质(ICM)。我们进一步研究如何数值模拟的结果可以估计分析。用树/SPH程序GADGET和一种改进的计算ISM-ICM相互作用的方法,生成了一个具有不同参数的数值模拟网格。这些SPH计算扩展了现有的一组结果,从不同的代码使用各种数值技术。模拟证实了在接近边缘的方向上剥离较少的总趋势。对于紧凑的ICM分布,对盘倾斜角的依赖性更明显,但是对于强冲压压力脉冲,它几乎消失。虽然各种流体动力学效应存在于ISM-ICM相互作用中,但主要的定量剥离结果似乎与所遇到的ICM动量转移的简单情景大致一致。这种行为也可以在以前的模拟中找到。为了重现数值结果,我们提出了一个拟合公式取决于磁盘的倾斜角和所遇到的ICM的列密度。这种依赖性优于在以前的简单估计中使用的峰值冲压压力。

英文摘要:

Ram pressure stripping of galaxies in clusters can yield gas deficient disks. Previous numerical simulations based on various approaches suggested that, except for near edge-on disk orientations, the amount of stripping depends very little on the inclination angle. Following our previous study of face-on stripping, we extend the set of parameters with the disk tilt angle and explore in detail the effects of the ram pressure on the interstellar content (ISM) of tilted galaxies that orbit in various environments of clusters, with compact or extended distributions of the intra-cluster medium (ICM). We further study how results of numerical simulations could be estimated analytically. A grid of numerical simulations with varying parameters is produced using the tree/SPH code GADGET with a modified method for calculating the ISM-ICM interaction. These SPH calculations extend the set of existing results obtained from different codes using various numerical techniques. The simulations confirm the general trend of less stripping at orientations close to edge-on. The dependence on the disk tilt angle is more pronounced for compact ICM distributions, however it almost vanishes for strong ram pressure pulses. Although various hydrodynamical effects are present in the ISM-ICM interaction, the main quantitative stripping results appear to be roughly consistent with a simple scenario of momentum transfer from the encountered ICM. This behavior can also be found in previous simulations. To reproduce the numerical results we propose a fitting formula depending on the disk tilt angle and on the column density of the encountered ICM. Such a dependence is superior to that on the peak ram pressure used in previous simple estimates.
