摘要:

我们提出了一个详细的光度特性的两个模拟星系和一个统一的样本观测星系的凸起之间的比较。这个分析表明,模拟的星系有凸起,其大小和大小具有真实的表面亮度。这两个场盘星系的旋转速度约为100公里/秒,并集成到一个红移为零,在一个完全宇宙学的拉姆达冷暗物质的背景下,作为高分辨率的平滑粒子流体动力学模拟的一部分。我们使用人工观测对星系进行了膨胀盘分解,以便与观测进行公平的比较。我们还对星系进行了动态分解,并将星系的恒星形成历史与整个星系的恒星形成历史进行了比较。这些恒星形成的历史表明,这些凸起主要是在z = 1之前和快速恒星形成期间形成的。这两个星系都有大量的早期恒星形成,这可能与它们测量到的相对较高的膨胀盘比有关。与几乎所有以前的宇宙学模拟不同,这些星系的真实集中的凸起不会导致非物理的高旋转速度,使它们自然地沿着观察到的塔利-费舍尔关系。

英文摘要:

We present a detailed comparison between the photometric properties of the bulges of two simulated galaxies and those of a uniform sample of observed galaxies. This analysis shows that the simulated galaxies have bulges with realistic surface brightnesses for their sizes and magnitude. These two field disc galaxies have rotational velocities ~ 100 km/s and were integrated to a redshift of zero in a fully cosmological Lambda cold dark matter context as part of high-resolution smoothed particle hydrodynamic simulations. We performed bulge-disc decompositions of the galaxies using artificial observations, in order to conduct a fair comparison to observations. We also dynamically decomposed the galaxies and compared the star formation histories of the bulges to those of the entire galaxies. These star formation histories showed that the bulges were primarily formed before z = 1 and during periods of rapid star formation. Both galaxies have large amounts of early star formation, which is likely related to the relatively high bulge-to-disc ratios also measured for them. Unlike almost all previous cosmological simulations, the realistically concentrated bulges of these galaxies do not lead to unphysically high rotational velocities, causing them to naturally lie along the observed Tully-Fisher relation.
