是什么决定了暗物质晕的中心结构?

What sets the central structure of dark matter haloes?

Go Ogiya, Oliver Hahn

摘要:

在密度扰动的热截止尺度附近形成的暗物质(DM)晕是独特的,因为它们是最小的物体,通过整体引力坍缩形成,而较大的晕则相反地经历了合并。虽然标准的冷暗物质(CDM)模拟很容易产生晕,遵循普遍的Navarro-Frenk-White(NFW)密度分布与内斜率,$ρ\propto r^{-α}$,与$α=1$,最近的模拟发现,当自由流截止预期的CDM模型是解决,所产生的晕遵循近幂律密度分布$α\sim1.5$。在本文中,我们使用理想化的$N$体模拟的原晕的崩溃,研究了密度尖点的形成晕。当原晕轮廓最初核心由于粒子自由流在高红移,我们普遍发现$\sim r^{-1.5}$配置文件,无论原晕轮廓斜率以外的核心和大规模的非球形扰动。相反,当原晕具有幂律轮廓时,则当原晕补丁的密度斜率比临界值$α_{\rm ini} \sim 0.3$浅时,我们获得与NFW形状兼容的轮廓,而最终斜率对于$α_{\rm ini}\ga 0.3$可以更陡。我们进一步证明,$r^{-1.5}$配置文件是敏感的小规模的噪音,这逐渐推动他们走向内斜率的$-1$,在那里他们成为弹性这样的扰动。我们表明,$r^{-1.5}$解决方案是在流体静力平衡,在很大程度上符合一个简单的分析模型,并提供参数,角动量出现,以确定内斜率。

英文摘要:

Dark matter (DM) haloes forming near the thermal cut-off scale of the density perturbations are unique, since they are the smallest objects and form through monolithic gravitational collapse, while larger haloes contrastingly have experienced mergers. While standard cold dark matter (CDM) simulations readily produce haloes that follow the universal Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) density profile with an inner slope, $ρ\propto r^{-α}$, with $α=1$, recent simulations have found that when the free-streaming cut-off expected for the CDM model is resolved, the resulting haloes follow nearly power-law density profiles of $α\sim1.5$. In this paper, we study the formation of density cusps in haloes using idealized $N$-body simulations of the collapse of proto-haloes. When the proto-halo profile is initially cored due to particle free-streaming at high redshift, we universally find $\sim r^{-1.5}$ profiles irrespective of the proto-halo profile slope outside the core and large-scale non-spherical perturbations. Quite in contrast, when the proto-halo has a power-law profile, then we obtain profiles compatible with the NFW shape when the density slope of the proto-halo patch is shallower than a critical value, $α_{\rm ini} \sim 0.3$, while the final slope can be steeper for $α_{\rm ini}\ga 0.3$. We further demonstrate that the $r^{-1.5}$ profiles are sensitive to small scale noise, which gradually drives them towards an inner slope of $-1$, where they become resilient to such perturbations. We demonstrate that the $r^{-1.5}$ solutions are in hydrostatic equilibrium, largely consistent with a simple analytic model, and provide arguments that angular momentum appears to determine the inner slope.
