星系演化的新解析解II:风循环、星系喷泉和晚型星系

New Analytic Solutions for Galaxy Evolution II: Wind Recycling, Galactic Fountains and Late-Type Galaxies

A. Lapi, L. Pantoni, L. Boco, L. Danese

摘要:

我们推广了Pantoni等人(2019)提出的解析解,包括对风循环和星系喷泉的简单而有效的描述,目的是自洽地研究圆盘主导的晚型星系(LTG)中气体,恒星,金属和尘埃含量的空间平均时间演化。我们的解析解,当补充了参数设置的具体规定和来自$N-$体模拟的晕吸积率时,可以用来再现局部LTG所遵循的主要统计关系;这些包括,作为恒星质量的函数,恒星形成效率,气体质量分数,气体/恒星金属丰度,尘埃质量,恒星形成速率,比角动量,和总质量/金属预算。我们的分析解决方案可以很容易地解开统治星系形成的主要物理过程中的LTG的不同角色,特别是,我们强调风循环和星系喷泉的关键相关性,有效地重新装修的气体质量,延长恒星形成的时间尺度,并提高气体和恒星中的金属富集。总而言之,我们的分析解决方案构成了一个透明的,方便的,快速的工具,可以提供一个基础,为改善(亚网格)物理配方目前实施更复杂的半解析模型和数值模拟,并可以提供一个基准解释和预测当前和未来的空间平均观测本地和高红移LTG。

英文摘要:

We generalize the analytic solutions presented in Pantoni et al. (2019) by including a simple yet effective description of wind recycling and galactic fountains, with the aim of self-consistently investigating the spatially-averaged time evolution of the gas, stellar, metal, and dust content in disc-dominated late-type galaxies (LTGs). Our analytic solutions, when supplemented with specific prescriptions for parameter setting and with halo accretion rates from $N-$body simulations, can be exploited to reproduce the main statistical relationships followed by local LTGs; these involve, as a function of the stellar mass, the star formation efficiency, the gas mass fraction, the gas/stellar metallicity, the dust mass, the star formation rate, the specific angular momentum, and the overall mass/metal budget. Our analytic solutions allow to easily disentangle the diverse role of the main physical processes ruling galaxy formation in LTGs; in particular, we highlight the crucial relevance of wind recycling and galactic fountains in efficiently refurnishing the gas mass, extending the star-formation timescale, and boosting the metal enrichment in gas and stars. All in all, our analytic solutions constitute a transparent, handy, and fast tool that can provide a basis for improving the (subgrid) physical recipes presently implemented in more sophisticated semi-analytic models and numerical simulations, and can offer a benchmark for interpreting and forecasting current and future spatially-averaged observations of local and higher redshift LTGs.
