对银河系多样性问题解决方案的批判性评估

A Critical Assessment of Solutions to the Galaxy Diversity Problem

Aidan Zentner, Siddharth Dandavate, Oren Slone, Mariangela Lisanti

摘要:

银河系自转曲线呈现出各种各样的内斜率。观测数据表明,解释这种多样性可能需要一种机制,即星系表面亮度与其暗物质晕的最中心区域相关。在这项工作中,我们比较了几个具体的模型,捕捉相关的物理所需的解释星系的多样性问题。我们专注于一个自相互作用的暗物质(SIDM)模型的等温核心和两个冷暗物质(CDM)模型与/不重子反馈。与CDM的情况相反,SIDM模型可以导致在晕中形成等温核,并且对作用于较长时间尺度的重子反馈过程也不敏感。使用旋转曲线从90个星系的斯皮策光度计和准确的旋转曲线(ARR)目录,我们进行了全面的模型比较,解决问题的统计方法从以前的作品。我们恢复的最佳拟合晕模型与标准CDM浓度质量和丰度匹配关系一致。我们发现,无论是SIDM和反馈影响的CDM模型是更好地解释样品中的低和高表面亮度星系的旋转曲线比CDM模型没有反馈。然而,相互比较时,有没有强烈的统计偏好无论是SIDM或反馈影响的CDM晕模型作为源的星系多样性的星表。

英文摘要:

Galactic rotation curves exhibit a diverse range of inner slopes. Observational data indicates that explaining this diversity may require a mechanism that correlates a galaxy's surface brightness with the central-most region of its dark matter halo. In this work, we compare several concrete models that capture the relevant physics required to explain the galaxy diversity problem. We focus specifically on a Self-Interacting Dark Matter (SIDM) model with an isothermal core and two Cold Dark Matter (CDM) models with/without baryonic feedback. In contrast to the CDM case, the SIDM model can lead to the formation of an isothermal core in the halo, and is also mostly insensitive to baryonic feedback processes, which act on longer time-scales. Using rotation curves from 90 galaxies in the Spitzer Photometry and Accurate Rotation Curves (SPARC) catalog, we perform a comprehensive model comparison that addresses issues of statistical methodology from prior works. The best-fit halo models that we recover are consistent with standard CDM concentration-mass and abundance matching relations. We find that both the SIDM and feedback-affected CDM models are better than a CDM model with no feedback in explaining the rotation curves of low and high surface brightness galaxies in the sample. However, when compared to each other, there is no strong statistical preference for either the SIDM or the feedback-affected CDM halo model as the source of galaxy diversity in the SPARC catalog.
