星系形成的宇宙学模拟

Cosmological Simulations of Galaxy Formation

Mark Vogelsberger, Federico Marinacci, Paul Torrey, Ewald Puchwein

摘要:

在过去的几十年里,对星系形成的宇宙学模拟有助于推进我们对宇宙结构和星系形成的理解。这些模拟遵循星系的非线性演化,在巨大的尺度范围内模拟各种物理过程。更好地理解与塑造星系相关的物理学,改进的数值方法和增加的计算能力,导致模拟可以再现大量观测到的星系特性。现代模拟从定义明确的初始条件开始,在膨胀的时空中模拟暗物质、暗能量和普通物质。普通物质的建模是最具挑战性的,因为影响这一物质成分的大量物理过程。宇宙学模拟也被证明有助于研究其他宇宙学模型及其对星系群的影响。本文简要介绍了星系形成的宇宙学模拟方法及其不同的应用。

英文摘要:

Over the last decades, cosmological simulations of galaxy formation have been instrumental for advancing our understanding of structure and galaxy formation in the Universe. These simulations follow the non-linear evolution of galaxies modeling a variety of physical processes over an enormous range of scales. A better understanding of the physics relevant for shaping galaxies, improved numerical methods, and increased computing power have led to simulations that can reproduce a large number of observed galaxy properties. Modern simulations model dark matter, dark energy, and ordinary matter in an expanding space-time starting from well-defined initial conditions. The modeling of ordinary matter is most challenging due to the large array of physical processes affecting this matter component. Cosmological simulations have also proven useful to study alternative cosmological models and their impact on the galaxy population. This review presents a concise overview of the methodology of cosmological simulations of galaxy formation and their different applications.
