摘要:

在模拟宇宙结构形成的过程中,合并树通常被用来跟踪暗物质晕和次晕的生长和合并历史。Srisawat等人(2013)比较了各种合并树构建代码。在这里,我们测试的输出策略和质量分辨率对树的建设的影响。我们发现,有些令人惊讶的是,从更多的快照构建树通常不会产生更完整的树;相反,它往往会缩短它们。对于试图桥接基础光环目录中的偶尔脱落的修补方案或将光环查找和树构建步骤无缝结合的方案,可以看到显著的改进。所采用的输出策略不影响合并树的平均分支数(分支度)。然而,质量分辨率对主枝长度和浓密度都有影响。随着分辨率的提高,具有相同质量的光环可以追溯到更远的时间,并且在其进化历史中会遇到更多的小祖先。考虑到这些结果,我们建议,对于作为星系形成模型的前兆的模拟,其中分析了100个或更多的快照,树的建立例程应与晕轮发现者集成,或者至少能够修补多个相邻的快照。

英文摘要:

Merger trees are routinely used to follow the growth and merging history of dark matter haloes and subhaloes in simulations of cosmic structure formation. Srisawat et al. (2013) compared a wide range of merger-tree-building codes. Here we test the influence of output strategies and mass resolution on tree-building. We find that, somewhat surprisingly, building the tree from more snapshots does not generally produce more complete trees; instead, it tends to short- en them. Significant improvements are seen for patching schemes which attempt to bridge over occasional dropouts in the underlying halo catalogues or schemes which combine the halo-finding and tree-building steps seamlessly. The adopted output strategy does not affec- t the average number of branches (bushiness) of the resultant merger trees. However, mass resolution has an influence on both main branch length and the bushiness. As the resolution increases, a halo with the same mass can be traced back further in time and will encounter more small progenitors during its evolutionary history. Given these results, we recommend that, for simulations intended as precursors for galaxy formation models where of order 100 or more snapshots are analysed, the tree-building routine should be integrated with the halo finder, or at the very least be able to patch over multiple adjacent snapshots.
