摘要:

我们分析了VELA宇宙学放大模拟中$\sim 10^{12}$ M $_\odot$在$z\sim1$的暗物质晕在环星系介质(CGM)中OVI的分布和起源。我们发现,OVI在流入的冷流主要是光电离,而在散装体积,它主要是碰撞电离。在大的碰撞参量($\gtrsim 0.3 R_{\rm vir}$)的光致电离的组件占主导地位的观察到的柱密度,而碰撞电离的组件占主导地位更接近。我们发现,大部分的碰撞OVI,按质量计,驻留在相对较薄的边界的光电离流。我们讨论了如何与流和边界性质的分析预测,其兼容性与观测结果是一致的。这使我们能够在未来的CGM观测中预测OVI和其他离子的分布,并为解释它们提供了一个玩具模型。

英文摘要:

We analyse the distribution and origin of OVI in the Circumgalactic Medium (CGM) of dark-matter haloes of $\sim 10^{12}$ M$_\odot$ at $z\sim1$ in the VELA cosmological zoom-in simulations. We find that the OVI in the inflowing cold streams is primarily photoionized, while in the bulk volume it is primarily collisionally ionized. The photoionized component dominates the observed column density at large impact parameters ($\gtrsim 0.3 R_{\rm vir}$), while the collisionally ionized component dominates closer in. We find that most of the collisional OVI, by mass, resides in the relatively thin boundaries of the photoionized streams. We discuss how the results are in agreement with analytic predictions of stream and boundary properties, and their compatibility with observations. This allows us to predict the profiles of OVI and other ions in future CGM observations and provides a toy model for interpreting them.
