摘要:

我们提出了一个新的全面的物理模型的星系形成设计的大规模流体动力学模拟的结构形成使用移动网格代码AREPO。我们的模型包括原始和金属线冷却与自屏蔽校正,恒星演化和反馈过程,气体再循环,化学富集,一个新的亚网格模型的金属负载流出,黑洞(BH)播种,BH的增长和合并程序,类星体和无线电模式反馈,和处方辐射电磁(EM)反馈活动星系核(AGN)。流出物的金属质量负载可以独立于风质量负载进行调整。这需要同时再现低质量晕的恒星质量含量和它们的气体氧丰度。辐射EM AGN的反馈实现假设的平均光谱能量分布和亮度相关的遮蔽效应的缩放。这种形式的反馈抑制恒星形成更有效地比连续热类星体模式反馈单独,但在调节恒星形成的质量晕比机械无线电模式反馈效率低。我们对比我们的星系形成模型与关键观测的不同变体的模拟预测。我们的最佳匹配模型再现,除其他外,宇宙恒星形成的历史,恒星质量函数,恒星质量晕质量关系,g-,r-,i-,z-波段SDSS星系光度函数,和塔利-费舍尔关系。只有当我们调用非常强的恒星和活动星系核反馈形式时,我们才能取得这一成功,从而在低质量和高质量系统中充分减少恒星的形成。特别是,与以前的研究相比,无线电模式反馈的强度需要显着增加,以抑制大规模的金属富集晕的有效冷却。

英文摘要:

We present a new comprehensive model of the physics of galaxy formation designed for large-scale hydrodynamical simulations of structure formation using the moving mesh code AREPO. Our model includes primordial and metal line cooling with self-shielding corrections, stellar evolution and feedback processes, gas recycling, chemical enrichment, a novel subgrid model for the metal loading of outflows, black hole (BH) seeding, BH growth and merging procedures, quasar- and radio-mode feedback, and a prescription for radiative electro-magnetic (EM) feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN). The metal mass loading of outflows can be adjusted independently of the wind mass loading. This is required to simultaneously reproduce the stellar mass content of low mass haloes and their gas oxygen abundances. Radiative EM AGN feedback is implemented assuming an average spectral energy distribution and a luminosity-dependent scaling of obscuration effects. This form of feedback suppresses star formation more efficiently than continuous thermal quasar-mode feedback alone, but is less efficient than mechanical radio-mode feedback in regulating star formation in massive haloes. We contrast simulation predictions for different variants of our galaxy formation model with key observations. Our best match model reproduces, among other things, the cosmic star formation history, the stellar mass function, the stellar mass - halo mass relation, g-, r-, i-, z-band SDSS galaxy luminosity functions, and the Tully-Fisher relation. We can achieve this success only if we invoke very strong forms of stellar and AGN feedback such that star formation is adequately reduced in both low and high mass systems. In particular, the strength of radio-mode feedback needs to be increased significantly compared to previous studies to suppress efficient cooling in massive, metal-enriched haloes.
