摘要:

利用千年模拟系列研究了冷暗物质晕的吸积历史与质量分布之间的关系。我们发现,在尺度半径内的平均密度,r_{-2}(其中的晕密度轮廓具有等温斜率),是直接成比例的临界密度的宇宙在主祖的维里质量等于质量封闭在r_{-2}。按照这些质量和密度的特征值,用宇宙临界密度M(ρ crit}(z))表示的平均MAH类似于z=0时的封闭密度分布M(<ρ>)。两者都密切遵循NFW配置文件,表明晕质量配置文件的相似性源于晕MAH的质量独立性。支持这种解释是由离群晕的吸积历史偏离NFW形状,其质量分布显示相关的偏差NFW和更好地近似Einasto配置文件。用NFW或Einasto剖面拟合M(<ρ>)和M(ρ_{crit}),得到了相关的浓度和形状参数,证实并扩展了早期将晕浓度与吸积历史联系起来的工作。这些相关性也证实,晕结构是不敏感的初始条件:只有晕的吸积历史有很大的不同,从NFW的形状显示出显着的偏差,从NFW在其质量分布。其结果是,NFW配置文件提供了可接受的适合热暗物质晕,不形成分层,波动功率谱以外的CDM。然而,我们的研究结果,预测一个微妙的,但系统的依赖质量剖面形状的吸积历史,如果得到证实,将提供强有力的支持吸积历史和晕结构之间的联系,我们建议在这里。

英文摘要:

We use the Millennium Simulation series to study the relation between the accretion history (MAH) and mass profile of cold dark matter halos. We find that the mean density within the scale radius, r_{-2} (where the halo density profile has isothermal slope), is directly proportional to the critical density of the Universe at the time when the main progenitor's virial mass equals the mass enclosed within r_{-2}. Scaled to these characteristic values of mass and density, the mean MAH, expressed in terms of the critical density of the Universe, M(ρ_{crit}(z)), resembles that of the enclosed density profile, M(<ρ>), at z=0. Both follow closely the NFW profile, suggesting that the similarity of halo mass profiles originates from the mass-independence of halo MAHs. Support for this interpretation is provided by outlier halos whose accretion histories deviate from the NFW shape; their mass profiles show correlated deviations from NFW and are better approximated by Einasto profiles. Fitting both M(<ρ>) and M(ρ_{crit}) with either NFW or Einasto profiles yield concentration and shape parameters that are correlated, confirming and extending earlier work linking the concentration of a halo with its accretion history. These correlations also confirm that halo structure is insensitive to initial conditions: only halos whose accretion histories differ greatly from the NFW shape show noticeable deviations from NFW in their mass profiles. As a result, the NFW profile provides acceptable fits to hot dark matter halos, which do not form hierarchically, and for fluctuation power spectra other than CDM. Our findings, however, predict a subtle but systematic dependence of mass profile shape on accretion history which, if confirmed, would provide strong support for the link between accretion history and halo structure we propose here.
