摘要:

在文献中有一个共识,即星暴星系是由相互作用事件触发的。然而,它仍然是一个悬而未决的问题,在何种程度上合并和非合并的相互作用在触发恒星爆发?在这项研究中,我们利用的Illustris模拟测试不同的触发机制可以影响星爆事件。我们研究恒星形成率,颜色和星暴星系的环境,以确定这是否可能是为什么我们在观测研究中目睹了星暴后种群的双峰性。此外,我们简要地测试淬火的程度,由于活动星系核反馈。从插图,我们选择了196个星暴星系在z = 0.15,并将它们分为合并后和合并前/骚扰驱动的星暴样本。我们发现,55%的样本没有经历合并在过去的2 Gyr。我们的两个样本都位于宇宙网的细丝区域内的低密度环境中,但是我们发现合并前/骚扰驱动的星爆比合并后驱动的星爆处于更高密度的环境中。我们还发现,合并前/骚扰星爆比合并后的星爆更红,这可能是由环境影响。然而,两者都产生强度相当的核恒星爆发。

英文摘要:

There is a consensus in the literature that starburst galaxies are triggered by inter- action events. However, it remains an open question as to what extent both merging and non-merging interactions have in triggering starbursts? In this study, we make use of the Illustris simulation to test how different triggering mechanisms can effect starburst events. We examine star formation rate, colour and environment of starburst galaxies to determine if this could be why we witness a bimodality in post-starburst populations within observational studies. Further, we briefly test the extent of quenching due to AGN feedback. From Illustris, we select 196 starburst galaxies at z = 0.15 and split them into post-merger and pre-merger/harassment driven starburst samples. We find that 55% of this sample not undergone a merger in the past 2 Gyr. Both of our samples are located in low-density environments within the filament regions of the cosmic web, however we find that pre-merger/harassment driven starburst are in higher density environments than post-merger driven starbursts. We also find that pre-merger/harassment starbursts are redder than post-merger starbursts, this could be driven by environmental effects. Both however, produce nuclear starbursts of comparable strengths.
