摘要:

宇宙学$N$ -天体模拟预测了具有陡峭中央尖点的暗物质(DM)晕(例如NFW,Navarro et al. 1996)。这与低质量星系中气体运动学的观测结果相矛盾,这些观测结果意味着存在浅DM核心。重子过程,如绝热收缩和气体外流,原则上,可以改变初始DM密度分布,但它们的相对贡献的晕转变仍然不确定。最近的高分辨率宇宙学流体动力学模拟(Di Cintio et al. 2014,DC 14)预测,内部密度分布系统地取决于恒星与DM质量之比(M $_*$ /M $_{\text{halo}}$)。使用马尔可夫链蒙特卡罗方法,我们测试的NFW和M $_*$ /M $_{\text{halo}}$依赖的DC 14晕模型对样本的147个星系旋转曲线从新的{ \it斯皮策}测光和准确的旋转曲线(SPITZER)数据集。这些星系都有扩展的H{ \small I}旋转曲线的射电干涉测量,以及准确的恒星质量密度分布的近红外测光。与NFW曲线相比,DC 14晕圈曲线提供了对数据的明显更好的拟合。与NFW不同,在我们的旋转曲线拟合中发现的DC 14晕参数自然落在由$Λ$ CDM预测的质量浓度关系和从丰度匹配推断的恒星质量晕质量关系的两个标准差之内,其中异常值很少。因此,由重子过程修改的晕轮廓与$Λ$冷暗物质($Λ$ CDM)宇宙学的预期更加一致,并且比忽略重子物理的晕模型更好地拟合了星系旋转曲线。我们的研究结果提供了一个解决方案,长达十年的尖端核心的差异。

英文摘要:

Cosmological $N$-body simulations predict dark matter (DM) haloes with steep central cusps (e.g. NFW, Navarro et al. 1996). This contradicts observations of gas kinematics in low-mass galaxies that imply the existence of shallow DM cores. Baryonic processes such as adiabatic contraction and gas outflows can, in principle, alter the initial DM density profile, yet their relative contributions to the halo transformation remain uncertain. Recent high resolution, cosmological hydrodynamic simulations (Di Cintio et al. 2014, DC14) predict that inner density profiles depend systematically on the ratio of stellar to DM mass (M$_*$/M$_{\text{halo}}$). Using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo approach, we test the NFW and the M$_*$/M$_{\text{halo}}$-dependent DC14 halo models against a sample of 147 galaxy rotation curves from the new {\it Spitzer} Photometry and Accurate Rotation Curves (SPARC) data set. These galaxies all have extended H{\small I} rotation curves from radio interferometry as well as accurate stellar mass density profiles from near-infrared photometry. The DC14 halo profile provides markedly better fits to the data compared to the NFW profile. Unlike NFW, the DC14 halo parameters found in our rotation curve fits naturally fall within two standard deviations of the mass-concentration relation predicted by $Λ$CDM and the stellar mass-halo mass relation inferred from abundance matching with few outliers. Halo profiles modified by baryonic processes are therefore more consistent with expectations from $Λ$ cold dark matter ($Λ$CDM) cosmology and provide better fits to galaxy rotation curves across a wide range of galaxy properties than do halo models that neglect baryonic physics. Our results offer a solution to the decade long cusp-core discrepancy.
