利用自相似性检验暗物质晕特性

Testing dark matter halo properties using self-similarity

M. Leroy, L. Garrison, D. Eisenstein, M. Joyce, S. Maleubre

摘要:

我们使用自相似性N体模拟的无标度模型来测试分辨率依赖的质量函数和两点关联函数的暗物质晕。我们使用1024 $^3$粒子模拟与ABACUS进行,并比较与两个光环发现者:朋友的朋友(FOF)和ROCKSTAR得到的结果。的FOF质量函数显示出系统的偏离自相似性,这是解释以前在文献中报道的FOF质量分配的分辨率依赖。只有从几千个粒子的晕开始才能观察到弱的收敛证据,而对于50个粒子的晕,质量函数被高估了至少20- 25%。另一方面,默认的ROCKSTAR晕目录的质量函数(具有束缚维里球形高密度质量)显示出良好的收敛性,从每晕50到100个粒子,在百分之几的水平上没有可检测到的证据表明任何系统依赖于更大的粒子数。实验表明,ROCKSTAR中的质量解绑过程是获得如此高分辨率的关键因素。应用相同的分析晕-晕两点关联函数,我们再次找到强有力的证据,收敛只为ROCKSTAR晕,在分离足够大,使晕不重叠。在这些分离,我们可以排除依赖于分辨率在5- 10%的水平,一旦晕有50至100个粒子的顺序。在较小的分离结果不收敛,即使在显着更大的粒子数,更大的模拟将需要建立收敛所需的分辨率。

英文摘要:

We use self-similarity in N-body simulations of scale-free models to test for resolution dependence in the mass function and two-point correlation functions of dark matter halos. We use 1024$^3$ particle simulations performed with ABACUS, and compare results obtained with two halo finders: friends-of-friends (FOF) and ROCKSTAR. The FOF mass functions show a systematic deviation from self-similarity which is explained by resolution dependence of the FOF mass assignment previously reported in the literature. Weak evidence for convergence is observed only starting from halos of several thousand particles, and mass functions are overestimated by at least as much as 20-25 percent for halos of 50 particles. The mass function of the default ROCKSTAR halo catalog (with bound virial spherical overdensity mass), on the other hand, shows good convergence from of order 50 to 100 particles per halo, with no detectable evidence at the few percent level of any systematic dependence for larger particle number. Tests show that the mass unbinding procedure in ROCKSTAR is the key factor in obtaining this much improved resolution. Applying the same analysis to the halo-halo two point correlation function, we find again strong evidence for convergence only for ROCKSTAR halos, at separations sufficiently large so that halos do not overlap. At these separations we can exclude dependence on resolution at the 5-10 percent level once halos have of order 50 to 100 particles. At smaller separations results are not converged even at significantly larger particle number, and bigger simulations would be required to establish the resolution required for convergence.
