摘要:

我们描述了一种方法来准确地计算晕质量函数,祖质量函数,合并率和合并树在非冷暗物质宇宙中使用的广义扩展Press-Schechter形式主义的自洽处理。我们的方法允许快速探索的subhalo人口的星系晕在暗物质模型与各种不同的粒子属性或宇宙滚动,截断,或更复杂的功率谱。我们做了详细的比较,解析推导的质量函数和合并的历史与最近的温暖暗物质宇宙学N体模拟,并找到很好的协议。我们表明,一旦吸积的平滑分布的物质占,粗粒度的统计数据,如质量吸积历史的晕可以几乎无法区分冷,暖暗物质的情况下。然而,晕质量函数和祖质量函数显着不同,与温暖的暗物质的情况下,被强烈抑制以下的自由流动尺度的暗物质。我们证明了使用正确的解决方案的漂移集障碍首次穿越分布在温暖的暗物质的重要性-如果一个平坦的障碍的解决方案,而不是使用的截断晕质量函数慢得多,导致高估的低质量晕的数量。

英文摘要:

We describe a methodology to accurately compute halo mass functions, progenitor mass functions, merger rates and merger trees in non-cold dark matter universes using a self-consistent treatment of the generalized extended Press-Schechter formalism. Our approach permits rapid exploration of the subhalo population of galactic halos in dark matter models with a variety of different particle properties or universes with rolling, truncated, or more complicated power spectra. We make detailed comparisons of analytically derived mass functions and merger histories with recent warm dark matter cosmological N-body simulations, and find excellent agreement. We show that, once the accretion of smoothly distributed matter is accounted for, coarse-grained statistics such as the mass accretion history of halos can be almost indistinguishable between cold and warm dark matter cases. However, the halo mass function and progenitor mass functions differ significantly, with the warm dark matter cases being strongly suppressed below the free-streaming scale of the dark matter. We demonstrate the importance of using the correct solution for the excursion set barrier first-crossing distribution in warm dark matter - if the solution for a flat barrier is used instead the truncation of the halo mass function is much slower, leading to an overestimate of the number of low mass halos.
