星系碰撞中的恒星形成和结构形成

Star formation and structure formation in galaxy collisions

Frederic Bournaud

摘要:

回顾了星系相互作用和合并中恒星和结构形成的一些理论和模拟结果,并介绍了最近的流体动力学模拟。重力力矩和ISM湍流在星系相互作用中的作用,除了潮汐场,突出显示。相互作用可以驱动气体流入中央kpc,并触发一个中央星爆,其强度和统计特性进行了讨论。一个运动学解耦的核心和一个超大质量的中心黑洞可以被燃料。在中央kpc之外,潮汐尾、碰撞环、桥等内部可以形成许多结构,包括超星团和潮汐矮星系。星系合并中超级星团的形成现在可以在流体动力学模拟中直接解决。本文综述了它们的形成机制和长期演化,并讨论了它们与现今早型星系的关系。

英文摘要:

A number of theoretical and simulation results on star and structure formation in galaxy interactions and mergers is reviewed, and recent hydrodynamic simulations are presented. The role of gravity torques and ISM turbulence in galaxy interactions, in addition to the tidal field, is highlighted. Interactions can drive gas inflows towards the central kpc and trigger a central starburst, the intensity and statistical properties of which are discussed. A kinematically decoupled core and a supermassive central black hole can be fueled. Outside of the central kpc, many structures can form inside tidal tails, collisional ring, bridges, including super star clusters and tidal dwarf galaxies. The formation of super star clusters in galaxy mergers can now be directly resolved in hydrodynamic simulations. Their formation mechanisms and long-term evolution are reviewed, and the connection with present-day early-type galaxies is discussed.
