摘要:

本星系群卫星星系显示出广泛多样的恒星形成历史(SFH),其起源尚未完全了解。使用流体动力学模拟从约束本地UniversE项目,我们研究了银河系的卫星星系的SFHS在宇宙学的背景下:而在大多数情况下,吸积到他们的宿主星系的卫星失去了他们的气体,与随后的抑制SF,在约25 $\%$我们的样品,我们观察到一个清晰的增强SF后,陷入。SF中的峰明显与其宿主周围的卫星臂间通道相关,并且在一种情况下,与卫星-卫星相互作用相关。我们确定了两个关键的成分,导致在增强SF后,陷:星系必须进入主机的维里半径与一个水库的冷气$M_{\rm gas,inf}/M_{\rm vir,inf}\gtrsim 10^{-2}$和最小的近心距离$\gtrsim$ 10千秒差距(平均距离$\sim$ 50千秒差距的完整样本),为了形成新的恒星由于压缩的冷气在近心通道。另一方面,卫星的气体很少或其近心距离太小,其气体冲压压力剥离和随后的SF淬火。卫星的近心通道同样与其宿主中的SF峰相关,这表明这种机制在卫星和中央星系中都诱导了SF爆发,这与最近对我们银河系SFH的研究一致。我们的研究结果可以解释最近报道的多个恒星星族在矮星系,如船底座和天炉座观察,并应考虑在半解析模型的星系形成和卫星淬火。

英文摘要:

Local Group satellite galaxies show a wide diversity of star formation histories (SFHs) whose origin is yet to be fully understood. Using hydrodynamical simulations from the Constrained Local UniversE project, we study the SFHs of satellites of Milky Way-like galaxies in a cosmological context: while in the majority of the cases the accretion onto their host galaxy causes the satellites to lose their gas, with a subsequent suppression in SF, in about 25$\%$ of our sample we observe a clear enhancement of SF after infall. Peaks in SF clearly correlate with the satellite pericentric passage around its host and, in one case, with a satellite-satellite interaction. We identify two key ingredients that result in enhanced SF after infall: galaxies must enter the host's virial radius with a reservoir of cold gas $M_{\rm gas,inf}/M_{\rm vir,inf}\gtrsim 10^{-2}$ and with a minimum pericentric distance $\gtrsim$10 kpc (mean distance $\sim$50 kpc for the full sample), in order to form new stars due to compression of cold gas at pericentric passage. On the other hand, satellites that infall with little gas or whose pericentric distance is too small, have their gas ram-pressure stripped and subsequent SF quenched. The pericentric passage of satellites likewise correlates with SF peaks in their hosts, suggesting that this mechanism induces bursts of SF in satellites and central galaxies alike, in agreement with recent studies of our Galaxy's SFH. Our findings can explain the recently reported multiple stellar populations observed in dwarf galaxies such as Carina and Fornax, and should be taken into account in semi-analytic models of galaxy formation and satellite quenching.
