外星系中的吸积球状星团:为什么自适应动力学不是解决方案

Accreted Globular Clusters in External Galaxies: Why Adaptive Dynamics is not the Solution

Sophia Lilleengen, Wilma H. Trick, Glenn van de Ven

摘要:

许多天体物理学和星系尺度的宇宙学问题需要一个确定的引力势,而引力势通常是由观测者在强假设下模拟的。星系周围的球状星团(GCs)可以作为大尺度(kpc)上亮物质和暗物质分布的动力学示踪剂。模拟引力势的一个自然假设是,在同一个矮星系合并事件中吸积的GC目前在宿主星系中的轨道相似,因此应该有相似的作用。我们调查这个想法在一个现实的银河系一样的星系的宇宙学N体模拟套件御夫座。我们展示了吸积恒星粒子在模拟中的行为是如何演变的,并且最小化作用空间中GC的标准差,但是,不能约束真正的潜力。因此,这种称为自适应动力学的方法对吸积GC不起作用。

英文摘要:

Many astrophysical and galaxy-scale cosmological problems require a well determined gravitational potential which is often modeled by observers under strong assumptions. Globular clusters (GCs) surrounding galaxies can be used as dynamical tracers of the luminous and dark matter distribution at large (kpc) scales. A natural assumption for modeling the gravitational potential is that GCs accreted in the same dwarf galaxy merger event move at the present time on similar orbits in the host galaxy and should therefore have similar actions. We investigate this idea in one realistic Milky Way like galaxy of the cosmological N-body simulation suite Auriga. We show how the actions of accreted stellar particles in the simulation evolve and that minimizing the standard deviation of GCs in action space, however, cannot constrain the true potential. This approach known as adaptive dynamics does therefore not work for accreted GCs.
