摘要:

暗物质晕中冷气体的分布是由星系形成的关键过程驱动的:气体冷却、星系合并、恒星形成和超新星对气体的再加热。我们比较了四种不同的星系形成模型对冷气体空间分布的预测。我们发现,卫星星系作出贡献的丰度或集群强度的冷气体选择的样品,是远远低于他们的重要性,在光学选择的样品。对于现今的中心星系,其冷气体质量大于10^9 h^-1 Msun的晕占据分布函数在晕质量约为10^11 h^-1 Msun时达到峰值,这一尺度是由活动星系核对气体冷却的抑制所决定的。预测的关联函数的模型预测是在良好的协议与测量从HI帕克斯全天巡天。我们比较了可能的调查与平方公里阵列的有效体积与预期的红移调查在近红外。未来使用中性氢发射的红移测量将与计划中最雄心勃勃的近红外光谱测量竞争。

英文摘要:

The distribution of cold gas in dark matter haloes is driven by key processes in galaxy formation: gas cooling, galaxy mergers, star formation and reheating of gas by supernovae. We compare the predictions of four different galaxy formation models for the spatial distribution of cold gas. We find that satellite galaxies make little contribution to the abundance or clustering strength of cold gas selected samples, and are far less important than they are in optically selected samples. The halo occupation distribution function of present-day central galaxies with cold gas mass > 10^9 h^-1 Msun is peaked around a halo mass of ~ 10^11 h^-1 Msun, a scale that is set by the AGN suppression of gas cooling. The model predictions for the projected correlation function are in good agreement with measurements from the HI Parkes All-Sky Survey. We compare the effective volume of possible surveys with the Square Kilometre Array with those expected for a redshift survey in the near-infrared. Future redshift surveys using neutral hydrogen emission will be competitive with the most ambitious spectroscopic surveys planned in the near-infrared.
