矮暗物质晕的径向轨道不稳定性

Radial orbit instability in dwarf dark matter haloes

Grzegorz Gajda, Ewa L. Lokas, Radoslaw Wojtak

摘要:

利用N体模拟,我们研究了发生在矮星系大小的暗物质晕中的径向轨道不稳定现象。我们进行了模拟的七个球形模型,具有相同的标准NFW密度分布,但不同的各向异性配置文件的粒子轨道。其中四个经历了不稳定:两个恒定的正各向异性,一个各向异性的核心和各向同性的信封,一个非常小的各向同性的核心和各向异性的信封。受不稳定性影响的晕变得近似轴对称和扁长,最短与最长轴之比的轮廓随着半径增加。对于NFW晕,该轴比的中心值的下限为0.3。晕的密度分布没有明显变化,而速度分布成为轴对称的。由于垂直于晕对称轴的分量的大振幅振荡,总角动量上升。我们还研究了单个粒子的轨道,将它们分配到三轴势中的经典轨道族。我们发现,一个给定的粒子在一个家庭的成员取决于它的初始总角动量和它的分量沿物质分布的主轴。

英文摘要:

Using N-body simulations we study the phenomenon of radial orbit instability occurring in dark matter haloes of the size of a dwarf galaxy. We carried out simulations of seven spherical models, with the same standard NFW density profile but different anisotropy profiles of particle orbits. Four of them underwent instability: two with a constant positive anisotropy, one with an anisotropic core and an isotropic envelope and one with a very small isotropic core and an anisotropic envelope. Haloes affected by the instability become approximately axisymmetric and prolate, with the profile of the shortest-to-longest axis ratio increasing with radius. The lower limit for the central value of this axis ratio is 0.3 for an NFW halo. The density profiles of the haloes did not change significantly, whereas the velocity distributions became axisymmetric. The total angular momentum rose due to large-amplitude oscillations of its components perpendicular to the symmetry axis of the halo. We also studied orbits of individual particles assigning them to classical orbit families in triaxial potentials. We find that the membership of a given particle in a family depends on its initial total angular momentum and its components along the principal axes of matter distribution.
