摘要:

我们使用千禧年模拟系列研究平衡态冷暗物质(CDM)晕的质量和红移浓度的依赖关系。我们扩展了早期关于晕质量分布和组装历史之间关系的工作,以展示后者如何用于预测所有质量和任何红移的晕的浓度。我们的结果澄清了浓度和晕的"坍缩红移“之间的联系,以及为什么浓度仅通过无量纲的"峰高”质量参数$ν(M,z)=δ_{\rm crit}(z)/σ(M,z)$依赖于质量和红移。我们结合这些结果与分析质量吸积的历史外推的$c(M,z)$关系,难以达到通过直接模拟的质量制度。我们的模型预测,在给定的$z$,$c(M)$应系统地偏离一个简单的幂律在高质量,其中浓度接近一个恒定值,并在低质量,其中浓度大大低于预期从外推公布的经验拟合。这种校正可以将子结构的预期自湮灭增强因子降低约一个数量级。该模型还再现了$c(M,z)$依赖于宇宙学参数的早期工作中报道,从而提供了一个简单而强大的帐户之间的关系,宇宙学和质量浓度红移关系的CDM晕。

英文摘要:

We use the Millennium Simulation series to investigate the mass and redshift dependence of the concentration of equilibrium cold dark matter (CDM) halos. We extend earlier work on the relation between halo mass profiles and assembly histories to show how the latter may be used to predict concentrations for halos of all masses and at any redshift. Our results clarify the link between concentration and the ``collapse redshift'' of a halo as well as why concentration depends on mass and redshift solely through the dimensionless ``peak height'' mass parameter, $ν(M,z)=δ_{\rm crit}(z)/σ(M,z)$. We combine these results with analytic mass accretion histories to extrapolate the $c(M,z)$ relations to mass regimes difficult to reach through direct simulation. Our model predicts that, at given $z$, $c(M)$ should deviate systematically from a simple power law at high masses, where concentrations approach a constant value, and at low masses, where concentrations are substantially lower than expected from extrapolating published empirical fits. This correction may reduce the expected self-annihilation boost factor from substructure by about one order of magnitude. The model also reproduces the $c(M,z)$ dependence on cosmological parameters reported in earlier work, and thus provides a simple and robust account of the relation between cosmology and the mass-concentration-redshift relation of CDM halos.
