摘要:

宇宙学模型中,暗物质由冷的基本粒子组成,预测暗晕人口应该扩展到质量比星系形成的质量低许多数量级。在这里,我们报告了一个宇宙学模拟的形成今天的晕在整个范围内观察到的晕质量(20个数量级)时,暗物质被假定为在弱相互作用的质量约100千兆电子伏特的大质量粒子的形式。该模拟具有30个数量级的质量的完整动态范围,并解决了数百个地球质量晕的内部结构,其细节与数百个丰富的星系团一样。我们发现,晕密度分布是普遍的,在整个质量范围内,以及简单的两个参数拟合公式描述。晕的质量和浓度在某种程度上是紧密相关的,这取决于宇宙学和暗物质的性质。对于一个固定的质量,浓度是独立的本地环境的晕小于那些典型的星系。质量在10^3到10^11太阳质量范围内的晕对暗物质湮灭产生的光度的贡献大致相等(每对数间隔),我们发现它比以前所有的估计都要小1000倍。

英文摘要:

Cosmological models in which dark matter consists of cold elementary particles predict that the dark halo population should extend to masses many orders of magnitude below those at which galaxies can form. Here we report a cosmological simulation of the formation of present-day haloes over the full range of observed halo masses (20 orders of magnitude) when dark matter is assumed to be in the form of weakly interacting massive particles of mass approximately 100 gigaelectronvolts. The simulation has a full dynamic range of 30 orders of magnitude in mass and resolves the internal structure of hundreds of Earth-mass haloes in as much detail as it does for hundreds of rich galaxy clusters. We find that halo density profiles are universal over the entire mass range and are well described by simple two-parameter fitting formulae. Halo mass and concentration are tightly related in a way that depends on cosmology and on the nature of the dark matter. For a fixed mass, the concentration is independent of the local environment for haloes less massive than those of typical galaxies. Haloes over the mass range of 10^3 to 10^11 solar masses contribute about equally (per logarithmic interval) to the luminosity produced by dark matter annihilation, which we find to be smaller than all previous estimates by factors ranging up to one thousand.
