EAGLE模拟中的银河系流入和风循环率

Galactic inflow and wind recycling rates in the EAGLE simulations

Peter D. Mitchell, Joop Schaye, Richard G. Bower

摘要:

星系风循环的作用是星系演化中最大的未知数之一,因为循环对星系生长的任何贡献在很大程度上都随着第一次下落物质的流入率以及流出的气体和金属被赶出星系的速度而退化。我们目前的EAGLE宇宙学模拟项目的风回收效率的测量,利用大容量模拟,再现一个现实的星系人口的统计能力。我们研究风循环在晕尺度,即气体已被喷射超过晕维里半径,并在星系尺度,即气体已被喷射从ISM至少$\approx 10 \, \%$的维里半径(因此排除较小规模的星系喷泉)。银河系尺度的风循环通常是低效的,其特征返回时间尺度与哈勃时间相当或更长,并且其效率在$M_{200} = 10^{12} \, \mathrm{M_\odot}$的特征晕质量处明显达到峰值。相应地,EAGLE星系中被吸积的大多数气体是第一次坠落。在晕尺度上,再循环到晕上的效率与半解析星系形成模型所假设的值相差几个数量级。风力循环与其他流体动力学模拟的效率差异目前难以评估,但可能较小。我们能够表明,在EAGLE中,风循环对星系生长的贡献比其他一些模拟小。我们发现,累积的第一时间气体吸积率在维里半径减少相对于暗物质吸积的质量,$M_{200} < 10^{12} \, \mathrm{M_\odot}$,表明有效的预防性反馈晕尺度的晕的期望。

英文摘要:

The role of galactic wind recycling represents one of the largest unknowns in galaxy evolution, as any contribution of recycling to galaxy growth is largely degenerate with the inflow rates of first-time infalling material, and the rates with which outflowing gas and metals are driven from galaxies. We present measurements of the efficiency of wind recycling from the EAGLE cosmological simulation project, leveraging the statistical power of large-volume simulations that reproduce a realistic galaxy population. We study wind recycling at the halo scale, i.e. gas that has been ejected beyond the halo virial radius, and at the galaxy scale, i.e. gas that has been ejected from the ISM to at least $\approx 10 \, \%$ of the virial radius (thus excluding smaller-scale galactic fountains). Galaxy-scale wind recycling is generally inefficient, with a characteristic return timescale that is comparable or longer than a Hubble time, and with an efficiency that clearly peaks at the characteristic halo mass of $M_{200} = 10^{12} \, \mathrm{M_\odot}$. Correspondingly, the majority of gas being accreted onto galaxies in EAGLE is infalling for the first time. At the halo scale, the efficiency of recycling onto haloes differs by orders of magnitude from values assumed by semi-analytic galaxy formation models. Differences in the efficiency of wind recycling with other hydrodynamical simulations are currently difficult to assess, but are likely smaller. We are able to show that the fractional contribution of wind recycling to galaxy growth is smaller in EAGLE than in some other simulations. We find that cumulative first-time gas accretion rates at the virial radius are reduced relative to the expectation from dark matter accretion for haloes with mass, $M_{200} < 10^{12} \, \mathrm{M_\odot}$, indicating efficient preventative feedback on halo scales.
