摘要:

在TNG 50模拟中,我们分析了恒星在实空间和能量空间中的速度各向异性。我们采用不同的选择标准,包括空间,运动学和金属丰度削减,并作出三个晕类($\mathcal{A}$ - $\mathcal{C}$),表现出轻度到强烈的敏感性不同的选择。上述类别分别占晕的48%、16%和36%。我们分析了$β$径向分布,并将其分为单调增加的径向分布或具有峰和谷的径向分布。我们证明,与单调增加的$β$配置文件的晕主要是从类$\mathcal{A}$,而那些峰/谷类$\mathcal{B}$ - $\mathcal{C}$的一部分。这意味着必须小心,因为观测报告的峰/谷可能是不同选择标准的结果。我们推断各向异性参数$β$能量空间和比较,对$β$径向配置文件。可以看出,65%的晕具有非常温和的敏感性,不同的选择在真实空间中,是那些$β$径向和能量分布是密切相关的。因此,我们建议,比较的$β$径向和能量配置文件可能是一种新的方式来检查不同的选择标准的敏感性,从而检查跟踪恒星运动学的各向异性参数的鲁棒性。我们比较了模拟的$β$径向轮廓与各种观测结果,并证明,在大多数情况下,模型的多样性与来自不同观测的误差条相当,这意味着TNG 50模型与观测结果总体一致。

英文摘要:

We analyze the velocity anisotropy of stars in real and energy space for a sample of Milky Way-like galaxies in the TNG50 simulation. We employ different selection criteria, including spatial, kinematic and metallicity cuts, and make three halo classes ($\mathcal{A}$-$\mathcal{C}$) which show mild-to-strong sensitivity to different selections. The above classes cover 48%, 16% and 36% of halos, respectively. We analyze the $β$ radial profiles and divide them into either monotonically increasing radial profiles or ones with peaks and troughs. We demonstrate that halos with monotonically increasing $β$ profiles are mostly from class $\mathcal{A}$, whilst those with peaks/troughs are part of classes $\mathcal{B}$-$\mathcal{C}$. This means that care must be taken as the observationally reported peaks/troughs might be a consequence of different selection criteria. We infer the anisotropy parameter $β$ energy space and compare that against the $β$ radial profile. It is seen that 65% of halos with very mild sensitivity to different selections in real space, are those for which the $β$ radial and energy profiles are closely related. Consequently, we propose that comparing the $β$ radial and energy profiles might be a novel way to examine the sensitivity to different selection criteria and thus examining the robustness of the anisotropy parameter in tracing stellar kinematics. We compare simulated $β$ radial profiles against various observations and demonstrate that, in most cases, the model diversity is comparable with the error bars from different observations, meaning that the TNG50 models are in good overall agreement with observations.
