摘要:

最近的几项研究表明,在最先进的暗物质宇宙学模拟中,人工的次晕破裂(次晕的自发、非物理的解体)仍然很普遍。为了量化中断推断subhalo人口的影响,我们增加了半分析SatGen动态subhalo演化模型与改进的潮汐剥离的治疗,使用理想化的高分辨率模拟subhalo演化的DASH数据库进行校准,这是免费的人工中断。我们还开发了一个模型,人工中断,再现中断的Bolshoi模拟的统计特性。使用这个框架,我们预测subhalo质量函数(SHMF),数密度分布,和子结构质量分数,并研究这些数量是如何影响人工破坏和质量分辨率限制。我们发现,人工干扰影响这些数量在$10-20\%$水平,改善以前的担忧,它可能会抑制SHMF多达两个因素。我们证明,半解析子结构建模必须包括轨道集成,以正确地考虑回溅晕,这大约占一半的subhalo人口。我们发现,$N$体模拟的分辨率限制,而不是人为破坏,是在暗物质模拟中发现的次晕数密度径向偏差的主要原因。因此,我们的结论是,质量分辨率仍然是使用这种模拟研究subhaloes的主要限制。我们的模型提供了一个快速,灵活,准确的替代研究子结构统计的情况下,数值分辨率限制和人工中断。

英文摘要:

Several recent studies have indicated that artificial subhalo disruption (the spontaneous, non-physical disintegration of a subhalo) remains prevalent in state-of-the-art dark matter-only cosmological simulations. In order to quantify the impact of disruption on the inferred subhalo demographics, we augment the semi-analytical SatGen dynamical subhalo evolution model with an improved treatment of tidal stripping that is calibrated using the DASH database of idealized high-resolution simulations of subhalo evolution, which are free from artificial disruption. We also develop a model of artificial disruption that reproduces the statistical properties of disruption in the Bolshoi simulation. Using this framework, we predict subhalo mass functions (SHMFs), number density profiles, and substructure mass fractions and study how these quantities are impacted by artificial disruption and mass resolution limits. We find that artificial disruption affects these quantities at the $10-20\%$ level, ameliorating previous concerns that it may suppress the SHMF by as much as a factor of two. We demonstrate that semi-analytical substructure modeling must include orbit integration in order to properly account for splashback haloes, which make up roughly half of the subhalo population. We show that the resolution limit of $N$-body simulations, rather than artificial disruption, is the primary cause of the radial bias in subhalo number density found in dark matter-only simulations. Hence, we conclude that the mass resolution remains the primary limitation of using such simulations to study subhaloes. Our model provides a fast, flexible, and accurate alternative to studying substructure statistics in the absence of both numerical resolution limits and artificial disruption.
