无耗散旋涡星系并合中的标度关系

Scaling Relations in Dissipationless Spiral-like Galaxy Mergers

H. Aceves, H. Velazquez, F. Cruz

摘要:

我们确定了类旋涡星系合并后的N体残余物的基本平面[Re Sig^a Ie^b和Re(Sig^2/Ie)^lambda]和光度-有效相空间密度[Lfe ^(-gamma)]的标度关系。合并模拟的主要集合涉及的质量比的祖先在约1:1至1:5的范围内,窝藏或不隆起状组件,并使用宇宙学动机模型构建。大规模兼并也被考虑在内。剩余部分导致标度指数的平均值为<a>~1.6、<b>~0.6、<lambda>~0.7和<gamma>~0.65。这些值与K波段观测的椭圆星系的值(Mobasher等,1999)一致:<a>~1.5,<b>~0.8,<lambda>~0.7和<gamma>~0.60。然而,b指数并没有得到很好的复制。这项研究并不允许我们建立一个决定性的偏好模型与或没有隆起的祖细胞。我们的研究结果表明,L-铁和FP标度可能在很大程度上由无耗散过程,这一结果似乎是在矛盾的其他无耗散的结果。

英文摘要:

We determine both representations of the Fundamental Plane [Re Sig^a Ie^b and Re (Sig^2/Ie)^lambda] and the luminosity-effective phase space density [L fe^(-gamma)] scaling relation for N-body remnants of binary mergers of spiral-like galaxies. The main set of merger simulations involves a mass-ratio of the progenitors in the range of about 1:1 to 1:5, harboring or not a bulge-like component, and are constructed using a cosmological motivated model. Equal-mass mergers are also considered. Remnants lead to average values for the scaling indices of <a>~1.6, <b>~0.6, <lambda>~0.7, and <gamma>~0.65. These values are consistent with those of K--band observations (Mobasher et al. 1999) of ellipticals: <a>~1.5, <b>~0.8, <lambda>~0.7, and <gamma>~0.60. The b index is, however, not well reproduced. This study does not allow us to establish a conclusive preference for models with or without a bulge as progenitors. Our results indicate that the L--fe and FP scalings might be determined to a large extent by dissipationless processes, a result that appears to be in contradiction to other dissipationless results.
