摘要:

我们研究了早期型星系(ETGs)的形成通过合并与样本的70个高分辨率的数值模拟的二元合并盘星系。这些模拟包括各种质量比、初始条件和轨道参数。我们发现,质量比为3:1和6:1的盘星系的二进制合并几乎总是被归类为快速旋转器,根据3D标准:他们保持输入快速旋转的螺旋祖先的结构。主盘合并(质量比为2:1和1:1)导致快速和慢速旋转。大多数的慢旋星系在1-3千秒差距的中心区域都有一个恒星运动学上不同的核心(KDC):这些KDC是由祖先的恒星组成的。前身星系的质量比是双星合并中慢旋星系形成的一个基本参数,但它也要求前身星系相对于轨道角动量有一个逆行自旋。在GalMer项目的星系合并库中也研究了祖先初始自旋的重要性。

英文摘要:

We study the formation of early-type galaxies (ETGs) through mergers with a sample of 70 high-resolution numerical simulations of binary mergers of disc galaxies. These simulations encompass various mass ratios, initial conditions and orbital parameters. We find that binary mergers of disc galaxies with mass ratios of 3:1 and 6:1 are nearly always classified as Fast Rotators according to the Atlas3D criterion: they preserve the structure of the input fast rotating spiral progenitors. Major disc mergers (mass ratios of 2:1 and 1:1) lead to both Fast and Slow Rotators. Most of the Slow Rotators hold a stellar Kinematically Distinct Core (KDC) in their 1-3 central kilo-parsec: these KDCs are built from the stellar components of the progenitors. The mass ratio of the progenitors is a fundamental parameter for the formation of Slow Rotators in binary mergers, but it also requires a retrograde spin for the progenitor galaxies with respect to the orbital angular momentum. The importance of the initial spin of the progenitors is also investigated in the library of galaxy mergers of the GalMer project.
