摘要:

宇宙重子流体在低红移时类似于充分发展的湍流。在这项工作中,我们使用混合宇宙流体动力学/N体代码产生的模拟样本,研究在什么尺度上的重子和暗物质的空间分布的偏差是由湍流造成的。为此,我们在程序中不考虑恒星形成、超新星(SNe)和活动星系核(AGN)反馈等物理过程,从而最大限度地体现湍流加热对IGM的影响。通过计算重子和暗物质的密度场和速度场的互相关函数$r_m(k)$和$r_v(k)$,我们发现,密度场和速度场的两个物质分量之间的偏差与尺度有关。也就是说,偏差在小尺度上最显著,并且在越来越大的尺度上逐渐减小。此外,偏差是时间依赖性的,即它们随着宇宙时间的增加而变得越来越大。最值得强调的结果是速度场揭示的重子与暗物质之间的空间偏差比密度场揭示的更为显著。在z = 0时,在1%的偏差水平下,密度场的偏差尺度约为3.7 $h^{-1}$ Mpc,而速度场的偏差尺度大至23 $h^{-1}$ Mpc,该尺度落在结构形成范例的弱非线性区域内。我们的结果表明,湍流加热的效果确实是可比的,这些过程,如SN和AGN反馈。

英文摘要:

The cosmic baryonic fluid at low redshifts is similar to a fully developed turbulence. In this work, we use simulation samples produced by the hybrid cosmological hydrodynamical/N-body code, to investigate on what scale the deviation of spatial distributions between baryons and dark matter is caused by turbulence. For this purpose, we do not include the physical processes such as star formation, supernovae (SNe) and active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback into our code, so that the effect of turbulence heating for IGM can be exhibited to the most extent. By computing cross-correlation functions $r_m(k)$ for the density field and $r_v(k)$ for the velocity field of both baryons and dark matter, we find that deviations between the two matter components for both density field and velocity field, as expected, are scale-dependent. That is, the deviations are the most significant at small scales and gradually diminish on larger and larger scales. Also, the deviations are time-dependent, i.e. they become larger and larger with increasing cosmic time. The most emphasized result is that the spatial deviations between baryons and dark matter revealed by velocity field are more significant than that by density field. At z = 0, at the 1% level of deviation, the deviation scale is about 3.7 $h^{-1}$Mpc for density field, while as large as 23 $h^{-1}$Mpc for velocity field, a scale that falls within the weakly non-linear regime for the structure formation paradigm. Our results indicate that the effect of turbulence heating is indeed comparable to that of these processes such as SN and AGN feedback.
