摘要:

利用GIMIC计划的一对高分辨率宇宙学模拟,研究了Lambda CDM宇宙学中重子对结构和子结构丰度的影响。两个模拟都使用相同的初始条件,但是一个只包含暗物质,另一个也包含重子。我们发现,与纯暗物质模拟相比,气体压力、再电离、超新星反馈、剥离和截断吸积系统地降低了总质量和结构丰度,使其低于~10^12太阳质量。考虑到这一点,并采取适当的检测阈值降低了观测到的星系的丰度与最大圆周速度低于100公里/秒,显着减少报告之间的差异Lambda CDM和测量的HI速度函数的ALCAFA调查。我们还表明,恒星质量在10^5 ~ 10^7太阳质量之间的星系,其恒星质量与总质量的比值增加了约2倍,这是根据(次)晕质量函数与观测星系质量函数的丰度匹配推断出来的。此外,我们发现,低质量的subhaloes的一个重要部分是完全没有恒星。考虑到10^10太阳质量以下的暗晕的存在,进一步减少了可观测天体的丰度,并导致在10^9 - 10^10太阳质量的晕中星系的恒星与总质量比的推断增加了2 - 10倍。这在很大程度上调和的丰度匹配结果与个别矮星系的运动学在λ-CDM。我们提出了近似修正的对象的质量来自纯暗物质计算占重子效应。

英文摘要:

We study the effect of baryons on the abundance of structures and substructures in a Lambda-CDM cosmology, using a pair of high resolution cosmological simulations from the GIMIC project. Both simulations use identical initial conditions, but while one contains only dark matter, the other also includes baryons. We find that gas pressure, reionisation, supernova feedback, stripping, and truncated accretion systematically reduce the total mass and the abundance of structures below ~10^12 solar masses compared to the pure dark matter simulation. Taking this into account and adopting an appropriate detection threshold lowers the abundance of observed galaxies with maximum circular velocities below 100 km/s, significantly reducing the reported discrepancy between Lambda-CDM and the measured HI velocity function of the ALFALFA survey. We also show that the stellar-to-total mass ratios of galaxies with stellar masses of ~10^5 - 10^7 solar masses inferred from abundance matching of the (sub)halo mass function to the observed galaxy mass function increase by a factor of ~2. In addition, we find that an important fraction of low-mass subhaloes are completely devoid of stars. Accounting for the presence of dark subhaloes below 10^10 solar masses further reduces the abundance of observable objects, and leads to an additional increase in the inferred stellar-to-total mass ratio by factors of 2 - 10 for galaxies in haloes of 10^9 - 10^10 solar masses. This largely reconciles the abundance matching results with the kinematics of individual dwarf galaxies in Lambda-CDM. We propose approximate corrections to the masses of objects derived from pure dark matter calculations to account for baryonic effects.
