原始恒星形成和再电离反馈的自洽半解析模型

Self-consistent Semi-analytic Modeling of Feedback During Primordial Star Formation and Reionization

Eli Visbal, Greg L. Bryan, Zoltan Haiman

摘要:

我们提出了一个新的半解析模型的第一批恒星的形成。我们的方法需要暗物质晕合并树(包括3维空间信息)从宇宙学N体模拟作为输入,并应用解析处方计算人口III(流行III)和金属富集的恒星形成历史。我们已经开发了一种新的方法来准确地计算影响Pop III恒星形成的主要反馈过程:H $_2$从莱曼-沃纳(LW)辐射的光解离,抑制恒星形成由于不均匀的再电离,和通过超新星风的金属富集。我们的方法利用基于网格的方法,依靠快速傅立叶变换(FFT),以快速跟踪整个模拟框中的三维LW强度,电离分数和金属丰度。我们提出了广泛的天体物理模型参数的模拟从$z\approx 30-6$。最初的远程LW反馈和本地金属富集和再电离反馈占主导地位。然而,对于$z \lesssim 15$,我们发现Pop III型恒星的恒星形成率密度(SFRD)受到外部金属富集(来自一个晕的金属污染其他原始晕)和不均匀再电离的影响。我们发现这些过程的相互作用对于$z \lesssim 10$的Pop III SFRD尤其重要。再电离反馈延迟恒星形成足够长的时间,使金属气泡到达光晕,否则就会形成Pop III恒星。与单独的LW反馈相比,包括这些效应可以导致在$z=6$下Pop III SFRD的数量级以上的降低。

英文摘要:

We present a new semi-analytic model of the formation of the first stars. Our method takes dark matter halo merger trees (including 3-dimensional spatial information) from cosmological N-body simulations as input and applies analytic prescriptions to compute both the Population III (Pop III) and metal-enriched star formation histories. We have developed a novel method to accurately compute the major feedback processes affecting Pop III star formation: H$_2$ photodissociation from Lyman-Werner (LW) radiation, suppression of star formation due to inhomogeneous reionization, and metal enrichment via supernovae winds. Our method utilizes a grid-based approach relying on fast Fourier transforms (FFTs) to rapidly track the LW intensity, ionization fraction, and metallicity in 3-dimensions throughout the simulation box. We present simulations for a wide range of astrophysical model parameters from $z\approx 30-6$. Initially long-range LW feedback and local metal enrichment and reionization feedback dominate. However, for $z \lesssim 15$ we find that the star formation rate density (SFRD) of Pop III stars is impacted by the combination of external metal enrichment (metals from one halo polluting other pristine halos) and inhomogeneous reionization. We find that the interplay of these processes is particularly important for the Pop III SFRD at $z \lesssim 10$. Reionization feedback delays star formation long enough for metal bubbles to reach halos that would otherwise form Pop III stars. Including these effects can lead to more than an order of magnitude decrease in the Pop III SFRD at $z=6$ compared to LW feedback alone.
