摘要:

我们提供了新的约束,在本地宇宙中的星系之间的连接,确定了斯隆数字巡天(SDSS),和暗物质晕及其组成的子结构中的$Λ$ CDM模型使用WMAP 7宇宙学参数。对暗物质晕的丰度和聚集特性以及暗物质宿主和子结构之间的关系的预测是基于高分辨率的宇宙学模拟Bolshoi模拟。我们将星系与晕和subhalos使用subhalo丰度匹配,进行全面的分析,调查这种技术的基本假设,包括(a)晕属性是最密切相关的星系恒星的质量和光度,(b)有多少散射是在这种关系,(c)有多少subhalos可以剥离之前,他们的星系被摧毁。该模型共同约束的新的测量投影的两点星系团和观察到的条件恒星质量函数的星系群。这些数据把严格的限制卫星部分星系星系作为星系恒星质量的函数,晕和星系属性之间的散射,并在基本的条件恒星质量函数。这些数据排除了丰度匹配中常用的几个晕圈特性,主要是因为模型中的卫星分数与这些数据不一致。我们发现,一个丰度匹配模型,关联星系的晕的峰值圆速度是在良好的协议与数据,当散射的$0.20 \pm 0.03$德克斯在恒星质量在一个给定的峰值速度。这将产生重要的限制星系形成模型,也提供了令人鼓舞的迹象表明,星系-晕连接可以模拟足够的保真度,为未来的精确研究暗宇宙。

英文摘要:

We provide new constraints on the connection between galaxies in the local universe, identified by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), and dark matter halos and their constituent substructures in the $Λ$CDM model using WMAP7 cosmological parameters. Predictions for the abundance and clustering properties of dark matter halos, and the relationship between dark matter hosts and substructures, are based on a high-resolution cosmological simulation, the Bolshoi simulation. We associate galaxies with halos and subhalos using subhalo abundance matching, performing a comprehensive analysis which investigates the underlying assumptions of this technique including (a) which halo property is most closely associated with galaxy stellar masses and luminosities, (b) how much scatter is in this relationship, and (c) how much subhalos can be stripped before their galaxies are destroyed. The models are jointly constrained by new measurements of the projected two-point galaxy clustering and the observed conditional stellar mass function of galaxies in groups. The data put tight constraints on the satellite fraction of galaxies as a function of galaxy stellar mass, on the scatter between halo and galaxy properties, and on the underlying conditional stellar mass function. These data rule out several halo properties commonly used in abundance matching, largely because the satellite fractions in the models disagree with those data. We show that an abundance matching model that associates galaxies with the peak circular velocity of their halos is in good agreement with the data, when scatter of $0.20 \pm 0.03$ dex in stellar mass at a given peak velocity is included. This will yield important constraints for galaxy formation models, and also provides encouraging indications that the galaxy--halo connection can be modeled with sufficient fidelity for future precision studies of the dark Universe.
