魔鬼在尾巴里:球状星团质量演化对流性质的作用

The devil is in the tails: the role of globular cluster mass evolution on stream properties

Eduardo Balbinot, Mark Gieles

摘要:

我们提出了一个碰撞动力学的冷潮汐流的形成和可探测性的影响的研究。一个半解析模型的恒星质量函数的演变,并耦合到一个快速的恒星流模拟代码,以及合成集群演化代码EMACSS的质量演化作为一个功能的球状星团轨道。我们发现,增加的平均质量的逃逸恒星的集群接近溶解有一个重大的影响,可观察到的流面密度。作为一个例子,我们表明,帕洛玛5将有不可检测的流(在SDSS的调查),如果它目前是三倍以上的质量,尽管事实上,一个更大的质量集群失去恒星在一个更高的速度。由于低质量恒星的优先逃逸而产生的这种偏差是大质量星团附近没有尾巴的另一种解释,而不是与星团相关的暗物质晕。我们探索了一个大样本的银河系球状星团的轨道,并推导出它们的初始质量和剩余质量分数。使用已知的潮汐尾巴的属性,我们探索有利于检测流的参数空间区域。讨论了高概率候选人的列表

英文摘要:

We present a study of the effects of collisional dynamics on the formation and detectability of cold tidal streams. A semi-analytical model for the evolution of the stellar mass function was implemented and coupled to a fast stellar stream simulation code, as well as the synthetic cluster evolution code EMACSS for the mass evolution as a function of a globular cluster orbit. We find that the increase in the average mass of the escaping stars for clusters close to dissolution has a major effect on the observable stream surface density. As an example, we show that Palomar 5 would have undetectable streams (in an SDSS-like survey) if it was currently three times more massive, despite the fact that a more massive cluster loses stars at a higher rate. This bias due to the preferential escape of low-mass stars is an alternative explanation for the absence of tails near massive clusters, than a dark matter halo associated with the cluster. We explore the orbits of a large sample of Milky Way globular clusters and derive their initial masses and remaining mass fraction. Using properties of known tidal tails we explore regions of parameter space that favour the detectability of a stream. A list of high probability candidates is discussed
