摘要:

我们使用APOSTLE $Λ$ CDM宇宙学流体动力学模拟的本地集团研究最近吸积到银河系(MW)大小的星系晕的大质量卫星。这些系统被选择为与MW中最大的卫星大麦云(LMC)非常相似。模拟使我们能够解决,在宇宙学的背景下,对MW的云的影响,包括麦哲伦卫星的MW卫星人口的贡献,并放置在银河系的潜在的LMC的运动的约束。我们发现,LMC样的卫星是两次更常见的地方集团附近的小学比周围孤立的晕类似的质量,这些卫星来自大转弯半径,并在高度偏心的轨道上,其速度在第一近心点与小学的逃逸速度相媲美。这意味着$V_{\rm esc}^{\rm MW} (50 $ kpc $)\sim 365$ km/s,这是对银河系势模型的一个强约束。LMC类似物与$M_*>10^5\, M_\odot$贡献约2个卫星,因此对其宿主的发光卫星群仅具有轻微影响。在第一近心点,LMC相关卫星在位置和速度上接近LMC,并且沿着LMC的轨道平面分布。它们的轨道角动量大致与大麦哲伦星系的一致,但有趣的是,在某些情况下,它们可能会出现“反向旋转”的MW。这些标准完善了早期对MW卫星LMC关联的估计:只有SMC,Hydrus 1,Car 3,Hor 1,Tuc 4,Ret 2和Phoenix 2符合所有标准。船底座,Grus 2,Hor 2和天炉座由于它们大的LMC相对速度,是不太可能的伙伴。

英文摘要:

We use the APOSTLE $Λ$CDM cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of the Local Group to study the recent accretion of massive satellites into the halo of Milky Way (MW)-sized galaxies. These systems are selected to be close analogues to the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), the most massive satellite of the MW. The simulations allow us to address, in a cosmological context, the impact of the Clouds on the MW, including the contribution of Magellanic satellites to the MW satellite population, and the constraints placed on the Galactic potential by the motion of the LMC. We show that LMC-like satellites are twice more common around Local Group-like primaries than around isolated halos of similar mass; these satellites come from large turnaround radii and are on highly eccentric orbits whose velocities at first pericentre are comparable with the primary's escape velocity. This implies $V_{\rm esc}^{\rm MW} (50 $ kpc$)\sim 365$ km/s, a strong constraint on Galactic potential models. LMC analogues contribute about 2 satellites with $M_*>10^5\, M_\odot$, having thus only a mild impact on the luminous satellite population of their hosts. At first pericentre, LMC-associated satellites are close to the LMC in position and velocity, and are distributed along the LMC's orbital plane. Their orbital angular momenta roughly align with the LMC's, but, interestingly, they may appear to "counter-rotate" the MW in some cases. These criteria refine earlier estimates of the LMC association of MW satellites: only the SMC, Hydrus1, Car3, Hor1, Tuc4, Ret2 and Phoenix2 are compatible with all criteria. Carina, Grus2, Hor2 and Fornax are less probable associates given their large LMC relative velocity.
