含GEAR的矮椭球星系的动力学和化学演化

The Dynamical and Chemical Evolution of Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies with GEAR

Yves Revaz, Pascale Jablonka

摘要:

我们提出了一个完全并行的化学动力学树/SPH代码,GEAR,它允许进行高分辨率的模拟与详细的化学诊断。从Gadget-2的公开版本开始,我们包括了重子物理的复杂处理:气体冷却,恒星形成定律,化学演化和超新星反馈。我们用dSph星系的情况来验证GEAR的性能。GEAR保存系统的总能量预算超过5%,超过14 Gyr,并证明了数值分辨率的结果具有很好的收敛性。我们表明,dSphs模型在一个静态的欧几里得空间,宇宙的膨胀被忽略是有效的。此外,我们解决了一些现有的悬而未决的问题,如恒星质量分数的dSphs和它的联系与预测的暗物质晕质量函数,超新星反馈的影响,空间分布的恒星星族,和起源的多样性恒星形成历史和化学丰度模式。强烈的超新星驱动风似乎与观测到的金属丰度和光度不一致。尽管新形成的恒星优先出现在星系中心部分,但气体中的湍流运动可以迅速消除任何金属丰度梯度。dSph性质的变化是由总质量的范围以及中心密度的分散引起的。后者也出现在LCDM宇宙演化形成的晕中。

英文摘要:

We present a fully parallel chemo-dynamical Tree/SPH code, GEAR, which allows to perform high resolution simulations with detailed chemical diagnostics. Starting from the public version of Gadget-2, we included the complex treatment of the baryon physics: gas cooling, star formation law, chemical evolution and supernovae feedback. We qualified the performances of GEAR with the case of dSph galaxies. GEAR conserves the total energy budget of the systems to better than 5% over 14Gyr and proved excellent convergence of the results with numerical resolution. We showed that models of dSphs in a static Euclidean space, where the expansion of the universe is neglected are valid. In addition, we tackled some of the existing open questions in the field, like the stellar mass fraction of dSphs and its link with the predicted dark matter halo mass function, the effect of the supernova feedback, the spatial distribution of the stellar populations, and the origin of the diversity in star formation histories and chemical abundance patterns. Strong supernovae driven winds seem incompatible with the observed metallicities and luminosities. Despite the fact that newly formed stars are preferentially found in the galaxy central parts, turbulent motions in the gas can quickly erase any metallicity gradient. The variety in dSph properties result from a range of total masses as well as from a dispersion in central densities. The latter is also seen in the haloes emerging from a LCDM cosmogony.
