重子物理和中微子自由流对大尺度结构的单独和联合作用

The separate and combined effects of baryon physics and neutrino free-streaming on large-scale structure

Benjamin O. Mummery, Ian G. McCarthy, Simeon Bird, Joop Schaye

摘要:

我们使用cosmo-OWLS和BAHAMAS宇宙学流体动力学模拟套件来探索重子物理(特别是来自活动星系核的反馈)和大质量中微子自由流对大尺度结构的单独和组合效应。我们专注于五个诊断:i)晕质量函数; ii)晕质量密度分布; iii)晕质量浓度关系; iv)晕的聚类;和v)物质的聚类;我们探索重子物理和中微子自由流的影响可以独立对待的程度。与以前的研究一致,我们发现活动星系核反馈和中微子自由流抑制总物质的功率谱,虽然它们的规模和红移的依赖性显着不同。活动星系核反馈的加入可以显著减小星系团和星系团的质量,并增加它们的尺度半径。这些效应导致质量浓度关系的振幅减小,并且在固定质量下晕自相关函数增大。中微子也降低了群和团的质量,但对它们的密度分布形状没有显着影响(因此也以与反馈类似的方式影响质量浓度关系和晕簇)。我们表明,除了少数例外,通过独立处理这些过程,重子物理学和中微子自由流对所有五种诊断的综合影响通常可以估计为优于百分之几的准确性(即,通过乘以它们各自的效果)。

英文摘要:

We use the cosmo-OWLS and BAHAMAS suites of cosmological hydrodynamical simulations to explore the separate and combined effects of baryon physics (particularly feedback from active galactic nuclei, AGN) and free-streaming of massive neutrinos on large-scale structure. We focus on five diagnostics: i) the halo mass function; ii) halo mass density profiles; iii) the halo mass-concentration relation; iv) the clustering of haloes; and v) the clustering of matter; and we explore the extent to which the effects of baryon physics and neutrino free-streaming can be treated independently. Consistent with previous studies, we find that both AGN feedback and neutrino free-streaming suppress the total matter power spectrum, although their scale and redshift dependencies differ significantly. The inclusion of AGN feedback can significantly reduce the masses of groups and clusters, and increase their scale radii. These effects lead to a decrease in the amplitude of the mass-concentration relation and an increase in the halo autocorrelation function at fixed mass. Neutrinos also lower the masses of groups and clusters while having no significant effect on the shape of their density profiles (thus also affecting the mass-concentration relation and halo clustering in a qualitatively similar way to feedback). We show that, with only a small number of exceptions, the combined effects of baryon physics and neutrino free-streaming on all five diagnostics can be estimated to typically better than a few percent accuracy by treating these processes independently (i.e., by multiplying their separate effects).
