摘要:

我们提出了一个新版本的半解析模型的星系形成的GALFORM。这汇集了几个以前的发展GALFORM到一个单一的统一模型,包括一个不同的初始质量函数(IMF)在静止的恒星形成和恒星爆发,反馈活动星系核抑制气体冷却在大规模的晕,和一个新的经验恒星形成定律在星系盘的基础上,其分子气体含量。此外,我们还更新了宇宙学,介绍了一个更精确的处理动力学摩擦作用于卫星星系,并更新了恒星星族模型。新的模型能够同时解释观测到的K波段光度函数和恒星质量函数的演化,以及在850 μ处选择的亚毫米星系的数量和红移分布。这在以前并不是通过Lambda CDM框架内的单一物理模型实现的,而是需要在恒星爆发中有一个有点头重脚轻的IMF。新的模型进行了测试,对各种各样的观测数据,涵盖波长从远紫外到亚毫米,红移从z=0到z=6,并被发现是普遍成功的。这些观测包括光学和近红外光度函数,HI质量函数,早型星系分数,Tully-Fisher,z=0时的金属度-光度关系和尺寸-光度关系,以及z ~ 3-6时的远红外计数和远紫外光度函数。[删节]

英文摘要:

We present a new version of the GALFORM semi-analytical model of galaxy formation. This brings together several previous developments of GALFORM into a single unified model, including a different initial mass function (IMF) in quiescent star formation and in starbursts, feedback from active galactic nuclei supressing gas cooling in massive halos, and a new empirical star formation law in galaxy disks based on their molecular gas content. In addition, we have updated the cosmology, introduced a more accurate treatment of dynamical friction acting on satellite galaxies, and updated the stellar population model. The new model is able to simultaneously explain both the observed evolution of the K-band luminosity function and stellar mass function, and the number counts and redshift distribution of sub-mm galaxies selected at 850 mu. This was not previously achieved by a single physical model within the LambdaCDM framework, but requires having an IMF in starbursts that is somewhat top-heavy. The new model is tested against a wide variety of observational data covering wavelengths from the far-UV to sub-mm, and redshifts from z=0 to z=6, and is found to be generally successful. These observations include the optical and near-IR luminosity functions, HI mass function, fraction of early type galaxies, Tully-Fisher, metallicity-luminosity and size-luminosity relations at z=0, as well as far-IR number counts, and far-UV luminosity functions at z ~ 3-6.
