宇宙学星系际介质演化的改进处理

An Improved Treatment of Cosmological Intergalactic Medium Evolution

Alberto Manrique, Eduard Salvador-Solé

摘要:

星系形成和再电离是现代宇宙学的两个核心问题,其建模依赖于对星系际介质(IGM)的精确跟踪。不幸的是,由于这种介质的复杂性质,控制其电离状态和温度的微分方程只是近似的。在本文中,我们改进了这些主方程。我们推导出新的表达不同的复合非均匀IGM阶段,包括所有相关的电离/重组和冷却/加热机制,考虑到流入/流出/从晕,并使用更准确的重组系数。此外,为了更好地计算方程中的源函数,我们提供了一个分析程序,用于计算电离环境中的晕质量函数,占由于其环境的电离状态的偏差。这样一个改进的处理IGM演变的一部分,一个完整的现实模型的星系形成提出的其他地方。

英文摘要:

The modeling of galaxy formation and reionization, two central issues of modern cosmology, relies on the accurate follow-up of the intergalactic medium (IGM). Unfortunately, owing to the complex nature of this medium, the differential equations governing its ionization state and temperature are only approximate. In this paper, we improve these master equations. We derive new expression for the distinct composite inhomogeneous IGM phases, including all relevant ionizing/recombining and cooling/heating mechanisms, taking into account inflows/outflows into/from halos, and using more accurate recombination coefficients. Furthermore, to better compute the source functions in the equations we provide an analytic procedure for calculating the halo mass function in ionized environments, accounting for the bias due to the ionization state of their environment. Such an improved treatment of IGM evolution is part of a complete realistic model of galaxy formation presented elsewhere.
