暗物质晕的合并率:EPS和N体结果的比较

Merger rates of dark matter haloes: a comparison between EPS and N-body results

Nicos Hiotelis

摘要:

我们使用扩展的Press-Schechter近似(EPS)计算了球形坍缩(SC)和椭球坍缩(EC)模型下暗物质晕的合并率。合并率已计算质量范围在$10^{10}M_{\odot}\mathrm{h}^{-1}$到$10^{14}M_{\odot}\mathrm{h}^{-1}$和红移范围在0到3的$z$,并已与其他作者提出的合并率进行了比较,以适应N体模拟的结果。这里提出的详细比较表明,分析模型和N体模拟之间的协议取决于至关重要的后裔晕的质量。在一定的质量和红移范围内,SC和EC模型都能得到满意的N体模拟结果,但在其他情况下,两种模型都不能得到满意的结果,甚至是很差的近似结果。我们表明,通过研究参数的问题,一个分歧-如果它出现-并不取决于参数的值,但在一种特定的解决方案用于分配的祖先或EPS方法的性质。进一步的研究将有助于提高我们对暗物质晕形成过程的理解。

英文摘要:

We calculate merger rates of dark matter haloes using the Extended Press-Schechter approximation (EPS) for the Spherical Collapse (SC) and the Ellipsoidal Collapse (EC) models. Merger rates have been calculated for masses in the range $10^{10}M_{\odot}\mathrm{h}^{-1}$ to $10^{14}M_{\odot}\mathrm{h}^{-1}$ and for redshifts $z$ in the range 0 to 3 and they have been compared with merger rates that have been proposed by other authors as fits to the results of N-body simulations. The detailed comparison presented here shows that the agreement between the analytical models and N-body simulations depends crucially on the mass of the descendant halo. For some range of masses and redshifts either SC or EC models approximate satisfactory the results of N-body simulations but for other cases both models are less satisfactory or even bad approximations. We showed, by studying the parameters of the problem that a disagreement --if it appears-- does not depend on the values of the parameters but on the kind of the particular solution used for the distribution of progenitors or on the nature of EPS methods. Further studies could help to improve our understanding about the physical processes during the formation of dark matter haloes.
