自引力系统中的恒星散射和指数盘的形成

Stellar scattering and the formation of exponential discs in self-gravitating systems

摘要:

我们表明,使用N体代码GADGET-2,恒星散射的大规模团块可以产生指数盘,和有效性的过程取决于散射中心的质量,以及银河系盘的稳定性。在不太稳定的圆盘中,重的,密集的散射中心迅速产生指数分布,时间尺度短于1 Gyr。在不同的初始恒星分布下,由于散射引起的轮廓演化可以形成一个近指数圆盘。这一结果支持分析理论预测的散射过程总是有利于零熵梯度的解决方案的Jeans/泊松方程,其档案是一个近指数。剖面的变化伴随着光盘增厚,并在垂直和径向方向上的恒星速度色散的幂律增加也观察到通过演变。恒星和团块的近距离相遇会导致恒星轨道的突然变化,并使恒星径向移动。这些事件可以使轨迹更加古怪,但许多事件几乎没有改变古怪。平均而言,恒星的轨道偏心率随时间适度增加。

英文摘要:

We show, using the N-body code GADGET-2, that stellar scattering by massive clumps can produce exponential discs, and the effectiveness of the process depends on the mass of scattering centres, as well as the stability of the galactic disc. Heavy, dense scattering centres in a less stable disc generate an exponential profile quickly, with a timescale shorter than 1 Gyr. The profile evolution due to scattering can make a near-exponential disc under various initial stellar distributions. This result supports analytic theories that predict the scattering processes always favour the zero entropy gradient solution to the Jeans/Poisson equations, whose profile is a near-exponential. Profile changes are accompanied by disc thickening, and a power-law increase in stellar velocity dispersion in both vertical and radial directions is also observed through the evolution. Close encounters between stars and clumps can produce abrupt changes in stellar orbits and shift stars radially. These events can make trajectories more eccentric, but many leave eccentricities little changed. On average, orbital eccentricities of stars increase moderately with time.
