旋转暗物质晕中恒星棒的长期阻尼

Secular Damping of Stellar Bars in Spinning Dark Matter Halos

Stacy Long, Isaac Shlosman, Clayton Heller

摘要:

我们证明了旋转的暗物质晕中的恒星棒的生长在演化的长期阶段受到严重抑制,使用孤立星系的数值模拟。在一组有代表性的模型中,我们表明,宇宙学自旋参数λ> 0.03的值,酒吧增长(在强度和大小)变得越来越淬火。此外,条形图案速度的减慢随着“λ”的增加而大大减弱,直到它完全停止。钢筋的终端结构也会受到影响,包括其方形/花生状凸起的范围和形状。这种效应的本质在于由棒促进的盘和晕之间的修改的角动量交换。我们第一次证明了暗物质晕可以发射而不是纯粹吸收角动量。虽然我们没有发现晕整体上有辐射,但是从盘到晕的角动量的净转移显著减少或完全消除。这种范式的转变意味着,必须修正已被接受的观点,即圆盘是角动量的来源,而晕是角动量的汇。根据λ的对数正态分布,λ> 0.03的晕预计会形成相当大的部分。因此,长期酒吧演化的依赖晕自旋,意味着深刻的推论星系盘的宇宙学演化。

英文摘要:

We demonstrate that growth of stellar bars in spinning dark matter halos is heavily suppressed in the secular phase of evolution, using numerical simulations of isolated galaxies. In a representative set of models, we show that for values of the cosmological spin parameter lambda > 0.03, bar growth (in strength and size) becomes increasingly quenched. Furthermore, slowdown of bar pattern speed weakens substantially with increasing `lambda,' until it ceases completely. The terminal structure of bars is affected as well, including extent and shape of their boxy/peanut bulges. The essence of this effect lies in the modified angular momentum exchange between the disk and the halo facilitated by the bar. For the first time we have demonstrated that a dark matter halo can emit and not purely absorb angular momentum. Although the halo as a whole is not found to emit, the net transfer of angular momentum from the disk to the halo is significantly reduced or completely eliminated. The paradigm shift implies that the accepted view that disks serve as sources of angular momentum and halos serve as sinks, must be revised. Halos with lambda > 0.03 are expected to form a substantial fraction, based on lognormal distribution of lambda. Dependence of secular bar evolution on halo spin, therefore, implies profound corollaries for the cosmological evolution of galactic disks.
