矮卫星星系的坍缩受其宿主的大量吸积影响

The infall of dwarf satellite galaxies are influenced by their host's massive accretions

Richard D'Souza, Eric F. Bell

摘要:

最近在限制银河系(MW)和仙女座星系(M31)所经历的大规模吸积(>1:10)方面的进展提供了一个了解本星系群矮星系人口的机会。使用放大的暗物质,只有模拟MW质量的晕和subhaloes,被认为是能够托管矮星系集中,我们证明了一个巨大的祖先是伴随着大量的subhaloes的吸积和破坏的。大规模的吸积祖细胞不增加下降subhaloes到MW质量主机的总数,而是把周围的subhaloes到主机上,造成集群的subhaloes的下降时间。这导致了一个暂时的海拔在数量的subhaloes,以及在其累积的径向配置文件的维里半径的主机的变化。幸存下来的有着巨大祖先的相关浅晕在它们的轨道上有很大的多样性。我们发现,本星系群矮球状星系($10^{5} \mathrm{M_{\odot}} \lesssim \mathrm{M}_{*} \lesssim 10^{7} \mathrm{M_{\odot}}$)的恒星形成猝灭时间聚集在MW和M31遭受最大质量吸积的时间附近。我们的研究结果意味着:a)矮椭球体的淬灭时间是它们坠落时间的一个很好的代理; b)M31周围最近没有淬灭的卫星,这表明M33不是第一次坠落,而是在更早的时候被吸积。

英文摘要:

Recent progress in constraining the massive accretions (>1:10) experienced by the Milky Way (MW) and the Andromeda galaxy (M31) offers an opportunity to understand the dwarf galaxy population of the Local Group. Using zoom-in dark matter-only simulations of MW-mass haloes and concentrating on subhaloes that are thought to be capable of hosting dwarf galaxies, we demonstrate that the infall of a massive progenitor is accompanied with the accretion and destruction of a large number of subhaloes. Massive accreted progenitors do not increase the total number of infalling subhaloes onto a MW-mass host, but instead focus surrounding subhaloes onto the host causing a clustering in the infall time of subhaloes. This leads to a temporary elevation in the number of subhaloes as well as changes in their cumulative radial profile within the virial radius of the host. Surviving associated subhaloes with a massive progenitor have a large diversity in their orbits. We find that the star formation quenching times of Local Group dwarf spheroidal galaxies ($10^{5} \mathrm{M_{\odot}} \lesssim \mathrm{M}_{*} \lesssim 10^{7} \mathrm{M_{\odot}}$) are clustered around the times of the most massive accretions suffered by the MW and M31. Our results imply that a) the quenching time of dwarf spheroidals is a good proxy of their infall time and b) the absence of recently quenched satellites around M31 suggests that M33 is not on its first infall and was accreted much earlier.
