第一千兆年星系际细丝和星系形成的模型

A Model For Intergalactic Filaments and Galaxy Formation During the First Gigayear

A. Gayler Harford, Andrew J. S. Hamilton

摘要:

我们提出了一个基于物理的,分析模型的星系际细丝在第一千兆年的宇宙。灯丝的结构是基于一个受重力束缚的等温气体圆柱体。该模型成功地预测了宇宙学模拟的总质量,每单位长度的灯丝(暗物质加气体)的基础上,完全根据气体成分的声速,相反的预期碰撞无暗物质聚集。它认为,气体,通过其流体动力学性质,在细丝结构中发挥着关键作用,而不是在一个预先形成的暗物质潜力的被动乘客。星系中的暗物质遵循膨胀宇宙中球对称过密度坍缩的经典方程。相比之下,气体通常崩溃得更慢。这两个组成部分的相对崩溃率为个别星系可以解释不同的重子赤字的星系的假设下,物质沿着一个单一的细丝通过星系中心,而不是球形吸积。暗物质和气体行为的差异可以简单而又合理地与模型联系起来。研究的星系范围包括所谓的“太大而不能倒”星系,这些星系被认为对于宇宙的标准Lambda-CDM模型来说是有问题的。等温圆柱模型提出了一个简单的解释,为什么这些星系莫名其妙地从夜空中消失。

英文摘要:

We propose a physically based, analytic model for intergalactic filaments during the first gigayear of the universe. The structure of a filament is based upon a gravitationally bound, isothermal cylinder of gas. The model successfully predicts for a cosmological simulation the total mass per unit length of a filament (dark matter plus gas) based solely upon the sound speed of the gas component, contrary to the expectation for collisionless dark matter aggregation. It argues that the gas, through its hydrodynamic properties, plays a key role in filament structure rather than being a passive passenger in a preformed dark matter potential. The dark matter of a galaxy follows the classic equation of collapse of a spherically symmetric overdensity in an expanding universe. In contrast, the gas usually collapses more slowly. The relative rates of collapse of these two components for individual galaxies can explain the varying baryon deficits of the galaxies under the assumption that matter moves along a single filament passing through the galaxy centre, rather than by spherical accretion. The difference in behaviour of the dark matter and gas can be simply and plausibly related to the model. The range of galaxies studied includes that of the so-called "too big to fail" galaxies, which are thought to be problematic for the standard Lambda-CDM model of the universe. The isothermal-cylinder model suggests a simple explanation for why these galaxies are, unaccountably, missing from the night sky.
