反馈对低红移星系际介质的影响

The impact of feedback on the low redshift Intergalactic Medium

Luca Tornatore, Stefano Borgani, Matteo Viel, Volker Springel

摘要:

我们分析的低红移星系际介质(IGM)使用高分辨率的流体动力学模拟,其中包括一个详细的化学演化模型的属性的演变。我们重点研究了两种不同形式的能量反馈对低红移星系间运动的热力学和化学动力学性质的影响,一种是由超新星爆发驱动的强星系风,另一种是由气体吸积到超大质量黑洞上驱动的活动星系核.我们发现,与风(W)和BH相关的反馈在重子的化学和热历史中留下了独特的特征,特别是在红移z<3 [...]我们提出的富集WHIM阶段的质量和金属丰度分布方面的结果,无论是作为密度和温度的函数。最后,我们计算了不同的重元素,即氧,碳和铁之间的相对丰度的演变。虽然对于不同的反馈模型,C/O和O/Fe在高红移处的演化不同,但它们的值在z=0 [..]时相似。WHIM属性的灵敏度上实施的反馈方案可能是重要的区别不同的反馈物理和检测WHIM与未来的远紫外和X射线望远镜。

英文摘要:

We analyse the evolution of the properties of the low-redshift Intergalactic Medium (IGM) using high-resolution hydrodynamic simulations that include a detailed chemical evolution model. We focus on the effects that two different forms of energy feedback, strong galactic winds driven by supernova explosion and Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) powered by gas accretion onto super-massive black holes (BHs), have on the thermo- and chemo-dynamical properties of of the low redshift IGM. We find that feedback associated to winds (W) and BHs leave distinct signatures in both the chemical and thermal history of the baryons, especially at redshift z<3 [..] We present results for the enrichment in terms of mass and metallicity distributions for the WHIM phase, both as a function of density and temperature. Finally, we compute the evolution of the relative abundances between different heavy elements, namely Oxygen, Carbon and Iron. While both C/O and O/Fe evolve differently at high redshifts for different feedback models, their values are similar at z=0 [..]. The sensitivity of WHIM properties on the implemented feedback scheme could be important both for discriminating between different feedback physics and for detecting the WHIM with future far-UV and X-ray telescopes.
