摘要:

我们提出了SPHINX宇宙学自适应网格细化模拟套件,第一个辐射流体动力学模拟,同时捕捉大规模再电离和逃逸的电离辐射从数千个解决星系。我们的$5$和$10$共同移动Mpc体积解决晕下降到原子冷却极限和模型的星际介质优于$\approx10$ pc分辨率。该项目有许多目标,以提高我们对再电离的理解,并为未来的观测做出预测。在这第一篇论文中,我们研究了如何列入双星计算恒星光度的影响再电离,相比,一个模型,只包括单星。由于通过强反馈抑制星系生长,我们的星系与星系光度函数的观测估计非常一致。我们发现,二进制有一个显着的影响,再电离的时间:与二进制,我们的盒子是$99.9$电离体积百分比在$z\approx 7$,而没有他们,我们的体积无法restored由$z=6$。这些结果对于体积大小、分辨率和反馈效率的变化是稳健的。电离辐射从各个星系逃逸的变化强烈而频繁。平均而言,双星的逃逸率为$\approx 7-10$ %,比单星高出约$3.5$倍。较高的逃逸分数是电离光度随年龄下降较浅的结果,也是较早再电离的主要原因,尽管双星较高的积分亮度也起着次主导作用。

英文摘要:

We present the SPHINX suite of cosmological adaptive mesh refinement simulations, the first radiation-hydrodynamical simulations to simultaneously capture large-scale reionization and the escape of ionizing radiation from thousands of resolved galaxies. Our $5$ and $10$ co-moving Mpc volumes resolve haloes down to the atomic cooling limit and model the inter-stellar medium with better than $\approx10$ pc resolution. The project has numerous goals in improving our understanding of reionization and making predictions for future observations. In this first paper we study how the inclusion of binary stars in computing stellar luminosities impacts reionization, compared to a model that includes only single stars. Owing to the suppression of galaxy growth via strong feedback, our galaxies are in good agreement with observational estimates of the galaxy luminosity function. We find that binaries have a significant impact on the timing of reionization: with binaries, our boxes are $99.9$ percent ionized by volume at $z\approx 7$, while without them our volumes fail to reionize by $z=6$. These results are robust to changes in volume size, resolution, and feedback efficiency. The escape of ionizing radiation from individual galaxies varies strongly and frequently. On average, binaries lead to escape fractions of $\approx 7-10$ percent, about $3.5$ times higher than with single stars only. The higher escape fraction is a result of a shallower decline in ionizing luminosity with age, and is the primary reason for earlier reionization, although the higher integrated luminosity with binaries also plays a sub-dominant role.
