冷暗物质晕分级合并中银盘的尺寸演化

On the Size Evolution of a Galactic Disk in Hierarchical Merging of Cold Dark Matter Halos

Hirohito Hayashi, Masashi Chiba

摘要:

我们研究了暗物质暗晕对银盘结构和演化的动力学影响,采用半解析方法,包括近似和经验关系,实现了详细的数值模拟的冷暗物质模型。我们计算的上限的银河系盘的大小在特定的红移$z$,根据其特征在于从主机晕中心的近心距离的subhalos的轨道特性。我们发现,这可能是最大的盘的大小所确定的最小的近心距离的subhalos显示的特征属性,这是基本上与所观察到的星系盘在低和高$z$。也就是说,人们发现大质量盘可以比小质量盘具有更大的尺寸,因为它具有抵抗晕圈破坏效应的稳定性。此外,在质量固定的情况下,低$z$的银盘尺寸可能大于高$z$的银盘尺寸,这反映了暗晕相对于主晕的轨道演化。这些结果表明,银盘的存在和结构可能受到与暗物质子结构的相互作用的动态限制,特别是在高$z$。

英文摘要:

We investigate the dynamical effects of dark matter subhalos on the structure and evolution of a galactic disk, using semi-analytic method that includes approximated and empirical relations as achieved in detailed numerical simulations of the cold dark matter model. We calculate the upper limit for the size of a galactic disk at a specific redshift $z$, based on the orbital properties of subhalos characterized by their pericentric distances from the center of a host halo. We find that this possibly largest size of a disk as determined by the smallest pericentric distances of subhalos shows the characteristic properties, which are basically in agreement with an observed galactic disk at low and high $z$. Namely, it is found that a massive disk can have a larger size than a less massive one, because of its stability against the destruction effect of subhalos. Also, with fixed mass, the size of a galactic disk at low $z$ can be larger than that at high $z$, reflecting the orbital evolution of subhalos with respect to a host halo. These results suggest that the presence and structure of a galactic disk may be dynamically limited by the interaction with dark matter substructures, especially at high $z$.
