摘要:

自从M31被发现以来,它近一半的卫星星系的平面排列一直是神秘和猜测的来源。随着越来越多的其他宿主星系显示出这些卫星星系平面,它们的稳定性和寿命已经成为争论的核心,即卫星平面的存在是流行宇宙学模型的自然结果,还是代表着一种挑战。考虑到它们的稳定性对宿主晕形状的依赖性,我们研究了星系平面的暗物质环境如何影响其寿命。随着暗物质暗晕数量的增加,相互作用的增加,加速了球形暗晕中已经形成的卫星星系平面的恶化。总的暗物质质量分数的作用,在分散一个平面的星系提出了非平凡的影响,以及平面寿命。但是平面倾斜到扁平暗物质晕主轴的任何错位都会导致它们的寿命减少到< 3 Gyrs. Distributing >整个暗物质分布中暗晕中总暗质量的40%,从而导致卫星星系平面在5 Gyr积分时间段内容易发生变化。

英文摘要:

The planar arrangement of nearly half the satellite galaxies of M31 has been a source of mystery and speculation since it was discovered. With a growing number of other host galaxies showing these satellite galaxy planes, their stability and longevity have become central to the debate on whether the presence of satellite planes are a natural consequence of prevailing cosmological models, or represent a challenge. Given the dependence of their stability on host halo shape, we look into how a galaxy plane's dark matter environment influences its longevity. An increased number of dark matter subhalos results in increased interactions that hasten the deterioration of an already-formed plane of satellite galaxies in spherical dark halos. The role of total dark matter mass fraction held in subhalos in dispersing a plane of galaxies present non trivial effects on plane longevity as well. But any misalignments of plane inclines to major axes of flattened dark matter halos lead to their lifetimes being reduced to < 3 Gyrs. Distributing > 40% of total dark mass in subhalos in the overall dark matter distribution results in a plane of satellite galaxies that is prone to change through the 5 Gyr integration time period.
