The distribution of galaxies displays anisotropy on different scales and it is often referred as galaxy alignment. To understand the origin of galaxy alignments on small scales, one must investigate how galaxies were accreted in the early universe and quantify their primordial anisotropic at the time of accretion. In this paper we use N-body simulations to investigate the accretion of dark matter subhaloes, focusing on their alignment with the host halo shape and the orientation of mass distribution on large scale, defined using the hessian matrix of the density field. The large/small (e1/e3) eigenvalues of the hessian matrix define the fast/slow collapse direction of dark matter on large scale. We find that: 1) the halo major axis is well aligned with the e3 (slow collapse) direction, and it is stronger for massive haloes; 2) subhaloes are predominately accreted along the major axis of the host halo, and the alignment increases with the host halo mass. Most importantly, this alignment is universal; 3) accretion of subhaloes with respect to the e3 direction is not universal. In massive haloes, subhaloes are accreted along the e3 (even stronger than the alignment with the halo major axis), but in low-mass haloes subhaloes are accreted perpendicular to the e3. The transit mass is lower at high redshift. The last result well explains the puzzled correlation (both in recent observations and simulations) that massive galaxies/haloes have their spin perpendicular to the filament, and the spin of low-mass galaxies/haloes is slightly aligned with the filament, under the assumption that the orbital angular momentum of subhaloes is converted to halo spin.

我们提出了一种新的算法,用于识别模拟暗物质晕内的子结构。该方法是Tormen等人(2004年)和Giocoli等人(2008年a)提出的方法的扩展,该方法将次晕确定为一组自结合粒子,这些粒子在被主晕的主要祖先吸积之前属于同一个祖先晕(以下称为卫星)。然而,这一定义并不占的事实,这些卫星晕本身也可能有子结构,从而产生子subhaloes等,我们的新算法确定在这个层次的所有级别的子结构,我们用它来确定所有子结构的质量函数(计数子haloes,子subhaloes等)。平均而言,最近形成的晕往往有一个较大的质量分数的子结构和集中度低于平均相同质量的晕。我们提供定量拟合这些相关性。尽管我们的算法与Gao et al.(2004)的算法有很大的不同,但我们也发现红移z = 0处单位质量的次晕质量函数是普适的。这种普遍性延伸到任何红移,只有当一个帐户的事实,即一个给定的质量的主机晕较少集中在较高的红移,和浓度和子结构丰度是反相关的。这种普遍性允许一个简单的参数化的subhalo质量函数集成在所有主机晕群众,在任何给定的时间。我们提供了分析适合这个功能,这应该是有用的晕模型分析,相当于星系晕子结构时,解释集群在大型巡天。最后,我们讨论了系统的subhalo质量函数的差异,所产生的(主机)晕质量的不同定义。

我们最近介绍了一种新的统计措施的暗物质在相空间中的聚类,粒子相空间平均密度($P^2SAD$)。在两篇论文系列中,我们研究了银河大小的宝瓶座晕中$P^2SAD$的结构,构建了一个物理模型来描述它,并说明了它作为预测暗物质晕纳米结构敏感信号的强大工具的潜力。在这封信中,我们报告了一个显着的普适性的集群的暗物质在相空间中测量的$P^2SAD$内的subhaloes的主机晕跨越不同的环境覆盖范围从矮大小到集群大小的晕($10^{10}-10^{15}$ M $_\odot$)。仿真结果表明,$P^2SAD$的普适性持有超过7个数量级,在一个2D相空间,覆盖超过3个数量级的距离/速度,与一个简单的函数形式,可以描述我们的模型。证明了$P^2SAD$的普适性,我们可以精确地预测小尺度下暗物质的非线性功率谱,一直到冷暗物质粒子的退耦质量极限。作为一个应用,我们计算的subhalo助推的湮灭暗物质在很宽的范围内的主机晕质量。
