暗物质晕子结构的统计

Statistics of Substructures in Dark Matter Haloes

E. Contini, G. De Lucia, S. Borgani

摘要:

我们研究的数量和分布的暗物质子结构内的暗物质晕,使用大量的高分辨率模拟范围从组大小到集群大小的晕,并进行我们的宇宙学模型与WMAP 7年的数据一致。特别是,我们研究了子晕的测量特性如何作为母晕质量、母晕物理特性和红移的函数而变化。子结构中晕质量的分数随着质量的增加而增加。然而,有一个非常大的晕到晕的散射,只能部分地解释晕的物理性质,如浓度的范围。在给定的晕质量,浓度较低的晕包含显着较大的分数的质量在子结构,因为潮汐破坏的强度降低。大部分的子结构质量位于母晕的外围,在相对较少的大规模subhaloes。这种质量分离似乎随着红移的增加而变得更强,并且应该反映在不同宇宙时代的星系人口中更显着的质量分离。当晕被吸积到较大的结构上时,它们的质量会因潮汐剥离而显著减少。在吸积时质量更大的晕(它们应该拥有更明亮的星系)由于动力学摩擦而在更短的时间尺度上更靠近中心,因此遭受更显著的剥离。晕合并率强烈地依赖于环境与子结构在更大规模的晕遭受更重要的合并比他们的同行居住在不太大规模的系统。这应该转化为不同质量的晕的不同形态组合。

英文摘要:

We study the amount and distribution of dark matter substructures within dark matter haloes, using a large set of high-resolution simulations ranging from group size to cluster size haloes, and carried our within a cosmological model consistent with WMAP 7-year data. In particular, we study how the measured properties of subhaloes vary as a function of the parent halo mass, the physical properties of the parent halo, and redshift. The fraction of halo mass in substructures increases with increasing mass. There is, however, a very large halo-to-halo scatter that can be explained only in part by a range of halo physical properties, e.g. concentration. At given halo mass, less concentrated haloes contain significantly larger fractions of mass in substructures because of the reduced strength of tidal disruption. Most of the substructure mass is located at the outskirts of the parent haloes, in relatively few massive subhaloes. This mass segregation appears to become stronger at increasing redshift, and should reflect into a more significant mass segregation of the galaxy population at different cosmic epochs. When haloes are accreted onto larger structures, their mass is significantly reduced by tidal stripping. Haloes that are more massive at the time of accretion (these should host more luminous galaxies) are brought closer to the centre on shorter time-scales by dynamical friction, and therefore suffer of a more significant stripping. The halo merger rate depends strongly on the environment with substructure in more massive haloes suffering more important mergers than their counterparts residing in less massive systems. This should translate into a different morphological mix for haloes of different mass.
