星系群中暗物质晕扩张的特征

Signatures of Dark Matter Halo Expansion in Galaxy Populations

Chris B. Brook, Arianna Di Cintio

摘要:

星系晕内的暗物质核心可以通过恒星形成区域的能量反馈形成:能量平衡表明,最大的核心形成效率出现在M $_{\star}\sim10^{8.5}$ M $_{\odot}$的星系中。我们表明,模型人口的星系,其中的密度分布已被修改,这样的重子反馈,是能够解释所观察到的星系速度函数和塔利-费舍尔关系显着优于一个模型,其中假设一个普遍的尖形密度分布。替代模型,即温暖的或自相互作用的暗物质,也提供了一个更好的匹配这些观察到的关系比一个通用的配置文件模型,但作出不同的预测晕密度轮廓如何随质量相比,重子反馈的情况下。我们建议,不同的核心形成机制可以区分的基础上留下的印记,他们在星系人口在很大范围内的质量。在目前的观测数据中,我们发现了重子反馈产生的核心形成的质量依赖性的预期签名的证据。

英文摘要:

Dark matter cores within galaxy haloes can be formed by energy feedback from star forming regions: an energy balance suggests that the maximum core formation efficiency arises in galaxies with M$_{\star}\sim10^{8.5}$M$_{\odot}$. We show that a model population of galaxies, in which the density profile has been modified by such baryonic feedback, is able to explain the observed galaxy velocity function and Tully-Fisher relations significantly better than a model in which a universal cuspy density profile is assumed. Alternative models, namely warm or self-interacting dark matter, also provide a better match to these observed relations than a universal profile model does, but make different predictions for how halo density profiles vary with mass compared to the baryonic feedback case. We propose that different core formation mechanisms may be distinguished based on the imprint they leave on galaxy populations over a wide range of mass. Within the current observational data we find evidence of the expected signatures of the mass dependence of core formation generated by baryonic feedback.
