摘要:

根据暗物质晕的轨道参数和宿主的结构性质预测暗物质晕的合并时标($τ_{\rm merge}$)是引力动力学中的一个基本问题,它对我们理解宇宙结构形成和星系形成具有重要意义。与宇宙学$N$ -天体模拟的结果相比,以前预测$τ_{\rm merge}$的模型显示出不同程度的成功。我们建立在以前的工作,并提出了一个新的模型$τ_{\rm merge}$,借鉴来自这些模拟的见解。我们发现,已发表的预测可以提供合理的估计$τ_{\rm merge}$的基础上,轨道属性在infall,但往往低估$τ_{\rm merge}$内的主机维里半径($R_{200}$),因为潮汐剥离被忽略,并高估它以外的$R_{200}$,因为主机质量被低估。此外,我们发现,模型,占轨道角动量通过圆形半径$R_{\rm circ}$ underpredict(overpredict)$τ_{\rm merge}$为绑定(未绑定)系统。通过拟合$τ_{\rm merge}$对各种轨道和宿主晕属性的依赖性,我们推导出一个改进的$τ_{\rm merge}$模型,该模型可以应用于合并晕在其轨道上的任何一点。最后,我们简要讨论了我们的新模型的影响$τ_{\rm merge}$半解析星系形成建模。

英文摘要:

Predicting the merger timescale ($τ_{\rm merge}$) of merging dark matter halos, based on their orbital parameters and the structural properties of their hosts, is a fundamental problem in gravitational dynamics that has important consequences for our understanding of cosmological structure formation and galaxy formation. Previous models predicting $τ_{\rm merge}$ have shown varying degrees of success when compared to the results of cosmological $N$-body simulations. We build on this previous work and propose a new model for $τ_{\rm merge}$ that draws on insights derived from these simulations. We find that published predictions can provide reasonable estimates for $τ_{\rm merge}$ based on orbital properties at infall, but tend to underpredict $τ_{\rm merge}$ inside the host virial radius ($R_{200}$) because tidal stripping is neglected, and overpredict it outside $R_{200}$ because the host mass is underestimated. Furthermore, we find that models that account for orbital angular momentum via the circular radius $R_{\rm circ}$ underpredict (overpredict) $τ_{\rm merge}$ for bound (unbound) systems. By fitting for the dependence of $τ_{\rm merge}$ on various orbital and host halo properties,we derive an improved model for $τ_{\rm merge}$ that can be applied to a merging halo at any point in its orbit. Finally, we discuss briefly the implications of our new model for $τ_{\rm merge}$ for semi-analytical galaxy formation modelling.
