亚星系尺度下暗物质(亚)晕质量函数的归一化和斜率

The Normalization and Slope of the Dark Matter (Sub-)Halo Mass Function on Sub-Galactic Scales

Andrew J. Benson

摘要:

对冷暗物质的模拟对小尺度上的暗物质晕和次晕质量函数的斜率和归一化做出了强有力的预测。最近利用强引力透镜的观测进展表明,这种技术有能力将这些量限制在与$10^6$ -$10^9\mathrm{M}_\odot$的暗物质晕质量相对应的亚星系尺度上。在这些尺度上,重子的物理学,占宇宙物质含量的17%左右,但不包括在纯暗物质N体模拟中,预计会影响结构的生长和暗物质晕的坍缩。在这项工作中,我们发展了一个半解析模型来预测的振幅和斜率的暗物质晕和次晕质量函数在亚星系尺度上的重子的存在。我们发现,晕质量函数被抑制高达25%,和修改的斜率,范围从$-1.916$到$-1.868$在这个质量范围。这些结果与目前的测量结果一致,但与对暗物质唯一宇宙的期望有很大差异,这种期望可能在不久的将来得到验证。

英文摘要:

Simulations of cold dark matter make robust predictions about the slope and normalization of the dark matter halo and subhalo mass functions on small scales. Recent observational advances utilizing strong gravitational lensing have demonstrated the ability of this technique to place constraints on these quantities on subgalactic scales corresponding to dark matter halo masses of $10^6$--$10^9\mathrm{M}_\odot$. On these scales the physics of baryons, which make up around 17% of the matter content of the Universe but which are not included in pure dark matter N-body simulations, are expected to affect the growth of structure and the collapse of dark matter halos. In this work we develop a semi-analytic model to predict the amplitude and slope of the dark matter halo and subhalo mass functions on subgalactic scales in the presence of baryons. We find that the halo mass function is suppressed by up to 25%, and the slope is modified, ranging from $-1.916$ to $-1.868$ in this mass range. These results are consistent with current measurements, but differ sufficiently from the expectations for a dark matter only universe that it may be testable in the near future.
