由星团重子入射减弱暗物质尖点
Weakening dark-matter cusps by clumpy baryonic infall
摘要：
我们认为，作为一个简单的和极端的模型的重子物理（忽略了在重力的大规模结构形成的模拟）对暗物质的影响，一个大质量的团块落入暗物质晕。我们发现，这样一个下沉的团块在改变晕的结构和降低其中心密度方面是非常有效的：一个质量为晕质量1%的团块可以从内晕中去除大约两倍的质量，并将尖点转变为核心或较弱的尖点。如果这个团块随后被移走，模仿银河风，中心晕的密度会进一步降低，从内晕移走的质量会加倍。更轻的团块甚至更有效：移除的质量与团块质量的比率朝向更小的团块质量略微增加。初始暗物质速度的径向各向异性越大，这个过程就越有效。虽然这样的星系坍缩可能有些不现实，但它表明重子只需要通过动力学摩擦将其初始能量的一小部分转移到暗物质中，就可以解释预测的暗物质密度分布与从暗物质占主导地位的星系的观测中推断的密度分布之间的差异。
英文摘要：
We consider the infall of a massive clump into a dark-matter halo as a simple and extreme model for the effect of baryonic physics (neglected in gravity-only simulations of large-scale structure formation) on the dark-matter. We find that such an infalling clump is extremely efficient in altering the structure of the halo and reducing its central density: a clump of 1% the mass of the halo can remove about twice its own mass from the inner halo and transform a cusp into a core or weaker cusp. If the clump is subsequently removed, mimicking a galactic wind, the central halo density is further reduced and the mass removed from the inner halo doubled. Lighter clumps are even more efficient: the ratio of removed mass to clump mass increases slightly towards smaller clump masses. This process is the more efficient the more radially anisotropic the initial dark-matter velocities. While such a clumpy infall may be somewhat unrealistic, it demonstrates that the baryons need to transfer only a small fraction of their initial energy to the dark matter via dynamical friction to explain the discrepancy between predicted dark-matter density profiles and those inferred from observations of dark-matter dominated galaxies.
