摘要:

我们使用一对高分辨率的N体模拟实现两个暗物质模型,即标准的冷暗物质(CDM)宇宙演化和温暖的暗物质(WDM)的替代品,其中的暗物质粒子是一个1.5 keV的热遗迹。我们将这些模拟与GALFORM半解析星系形成模型相结合,以探讨由此产生的星系种群之间的差异。我们使用GALFORM模型的CDM和WDM的变种,导致在相同的z=0星系恒星质量函数的建设。我们发现,大多数研究的星系属性在这两个模型中具有相同的值,这表明两种暗物质方案都与当前的观测数据同样匹配。即使在低密度区域,CDM和WDM之间的结构形成差异预计是最明显的,星系的性质也只是略有不同。我们发现的局部宇宙中唯一显着的差异是在“局部星系”的星系群中,即模拟银河系类似物周围半径为1至8Mpc的区域。在这样的区域中,我们的WDM模型提供了一个更好的匹配,以观察到的本地星系数计数,是五倍以上的可能性比CDM模型预测子区域内,是空的观察到的本地虚空。因此,一个高度完整的本地体积普查和未来的调查空洞区域可以提供限制的性质暗物质。

英文摘要:

We use a pair of high resolution N-body simulations implementing two dark matter models, namely the standard cold dark matter (CDM) cosmogony and a warm dark matter (WDM) alternative where the dark matter particle is a 1.5keV thermal relic. We combine these simulations with the GALFORM semi-analytical galaxy formation model in order to explore differences between the resulting galaxy populations. We use GALFORM model variants for CDM and WDM that result in the same z=0 galaxy stellar mass function by construction. We find that most of the studied galaxy properties have the same values in these two models, indicating that both dark matter scenarios match current observational data equally well. Even in under-dense regions, where discrepancies in structure formation between CDM and WDM are expected to be most pronounced, the galaxy properties are only slightly different. The only significant difference in the local universe we find is in the galaxy populations of "Local Volumes", regions of radius 1 to 8Mpc around simulated Milky Way analogues. In such regions our WDM model provides a better match to observed local galaxy number counts and is five times more likely than the CDM model to predict sub-regions within them that are as empty as the observed Local Void. Thus, a highly complete census of the Local Volume and future surveys of void regions could provide constraints on the nature of dark matter.
