摘要:

我们的特点质量,动量,能量和金属流出率的多相星系风在一套火-2宇宙学的“放大”模拟在现实环境中的反馈(火)项目。我们分析了低质量矮星,中等质量矮星,银河系质量晕,高红移质量晕的模拟。与以前的工作一致,我们发现矮星从其星际介质(ISM)中喷出的气体比它们在恒星中形成的气体多100倍,而在大质量星系中,这种质量“加载因子”下降到1以下。大部分的质量在大质量晕中由热相(PDMATHAMM K)携带,在矮星中由暖相($10^3-10^5$ K)携带;冷流出($<10^3$ K)除了在高红移矮星中可以忽略不计。来自ISM的能量、动量和金属负载因子在矮星中是统一的,在更大质量的晕中明显更低。热的流出物具有比逃离矮星晕引力势所需的$2-5\times$更高的比能;事实上,在矮星中,质量、动量和金属流出率随半径增加而增加,而能量大致守恒,这表明被扫过的晕气体。在更强大的恒星形成事件期间以及内晕未维里化时,爆发平均质量负载因子往往更大,但我们实际上没有看到致密的ISM气体部分的趋势。我们讨论了我们的研究结果如何指导未来的受控数值实验,旨在阐明控制银河风的关键参数和由此产生的相关预防性反馈。

英文摘要:

We characterize mass, momentum, energy and metal outflow rates of multi-phase galactic winds in a suite of FIRE-2 cosmological "zoom-in" simulations from the Feedback in Realistic Environments (FIRE) project. We analyze simulations of low-mass dwarfs, intermediate-mass dwarfs, Milky Way-mass halos, and high-redshift massive halos. Consistent with previous work, we find that dwarfs eject about 100 times more gas from their interstellar medium (ISM) than they form in stars, while this mass "loading factor" drops below one in massive galaxies. Most of the mass is carried by the hot phase ($>10^5$ K) in massive halos and the warm phase ($10^3-10^5$ K) in dwarfs; cold outflows ($<10^3$ K) are negligible except in high-redshift dwarfs. Energy, momentum and metal loading factors from the ISM are of order unity in dwarfs and significantly lower in more massive halos. Hot outflows have $2-5\times$ higher specific energy than needed to escape from the gravitational potential of dwarf halos; indeed, in dwarfs, the mass, momentum, and metal outflow rates increase with radius whereas energy is roughly conserved, indicating swept up halo gas. Burst-averaged mass loading factors tend to be larger during more powerful star formation episodes and when the inner halo is not virialized, but we see effectively no trend with the dense ISM gas fraction. We discuss how our results can guide future controlled numerical experiments that aim to elucidate the key parameters governing galactic winds and the resulting associated preventative feedback.
