摘要:

我们调查的幅度和内部对齐的冷暗物质晕的角动量在模拟和没有重子。我们分析了在千年模拟和一个较小的,但更高的分辨率,模拟,在总跨越5个数量级的质量数十万晕的累积角动量剖面。对于给定质量的晕,比角动量的中值随着j(<r)与r成正比而增加。矢量的方向随半径变化很大:内角动量矢量(< 0.25 Rvir)和总角动量矢量(< Rvir)之间的中位角约为25度。为了研究重子如何影响晕自旋,我们使用了另一种高分辨率的模拟,包括气体冷却,恒星形成和反馈。这个模拟产生了一个星系的样本,具有真实的盘总比分布。星系的形成使暗物质在0.1 Rvir内旋转,使得特定的晕角动量在中值内增加约50%。暗物质的角动量变得更好地对齐,但在晕和中央星系之间仍然存在广泛的(错误)对齐分布,它们的角动量之间的中间角约为30度。相对于晕的形状,镓的取向范围很广:其中一半的镓的短轴错位超过45度。最后,我们根据星系的方向排列一个晕样本,并叠加投影的质量分布。虽然个别的晕是非球面的,星系晕的错位产生了一个堆叠的质量分布,这是无法区分的圆形。如果在我们的模拟中发现的错位是真实的,那么弱透镜研究将非常难以使用这种技术测量暗晕的形状。

英文摘要:

We investigate the magnitude and internal alignment of the angular momentum of cold dark matter haloes in simulations with and without baryons. We analyse the cumulative angular momentum profiles of hundreds of thousands of haloes in the Millennium simulation and in a smaller, but higher resolution, simulation, in total spanning 5 orders of magnitude in mass. For haloes of a given mass, the median specific angular momentum increases as j(<r) proportional to r. The direction of the vector varies considerably with radius: the median angle between the inner (< 0.25 Rvir) and total (< Rvir) angular momentum vectors is about 25degr. To investigate how baryons affect halo spin, we use another high resolution simulation, which includes gas cooling, star formation and feedback. This simulation produces a sample of galaxies with a realistic distribution of disc-to-total ratios. The formation of the galaxy spins up the dark matter within 0.1 Rvir such that the specific halo angular momentum increases by approx 50% in the median. The dark matter angular momentum becomes better aligned, but there remains a broad distribution of (mis-)alignments between the halo and the central galaxy, with a median angle between their angular momenta of ~ 30degr. Galaxies have a range of orientations relative to the shape of the halo: half of them have their minor axes misaligned by more than 45degr. Finally, we align a sample of haloes according to the orientation of their galaxies and stack the projected mass distributions. Although the individual haloes are aspherical, galaxy--halo misalignments produce a stacked mass distribution that is indistinguishable from circular. If the misalignment found in our simulations is realistic, it will be extremely difficult for weak lensing studies to measure the shape of dark haloes using this technique.
