Simba星环星系介质吸收体的物理性质

The Physical Nature of Circumgalactic Medium Absorbers in Simba

Sarah Appleby, Romeel Davé, Daniele Sorini, Weiguang Cui, Jacob Christiansen

摘要:

我们研究了Simba宇宙学模拟中的低红移CGM的性质,追踪恒星质量仓($M_\star>10^{10}M_\odot$)中恒星形成,绿谷和淬灭星系在碰撞参量$r_\perp\leq 1.25r_{200}$的星系周围的紫外吸收线。我们生成HI,MgII,CII,SiIII,CIV和OVI的合成光谱,拟合Voigt曲线以获得线特性,并估计吸收气体的密度,温度和金属度。我们发现,CGM吸收剂是最丰富的恒星形成星系周围的$M_\star < 10^{11}M_\odot$,而丰富的绿谷星系表现出类似的行为,淬火星系,这表明CGM“淬火”之前,恒星形成停止。HI吸收气体存在于广泛的宇宙相(凝聚气体,扩散气体,热晕气体和温热星系际介质),而基本上所有的低电离金属吸收来自凝聚气体。OVI吸收剂在热晕气体和WHIM之间分开。碰撞电离CGM吸收剂的分数是$\sim 25-55\%$的CIV和$\sim 80-95\%$的OVI,这取决于恒星质量和影响参数。通常,每种离子的最高柱密度吸收特征来自致密气体。卫星气体,定义为在$10r_{1/2,\star},$内的气体,贡献了全部HI吸收的$\sim 3\%$,但贡献了Mg II吸收的$\sim 30\%$,其中来自卫星的部分随着离子激发能的增加而减少。

英文摘要:

We study the nature of the low-redshift CGM in the Simba cosmological simulations as traced by ultraviolet absorption lines around galaxies in bins of stellar mass ($M_\star>10^{10}M_\odot$) for star-forming, green valley and quenched galaxies at impact parameters $r_\perp\leq 1.25r_{200}$. We generate synthetic spectra for HI, MgII, CII, SiIII, CIV, and OVI, fit Voigt profiles to obtain line properties, and estimate the density, temperature, and metallicity of the absorbing gas. We find that CGM absorbers are most abundant around star forming galaxies with $M_\star < 10^{11}M_\odot$, while the abundance of green valley galaxies show similar behaviour to those of quenched galaxies, suggesting that the CGM "quenches" before star formation ceases. HI absorbing gas exists across a broad range of cosmic phases (condensed gas, diffuse gas, hot halo gas and Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium), while essentially all low-ionisation metal absorption arises from condensed gas. OVI absorbers are split between hot halo gas and the WHIM. The fraction of collisionally ionised CGM absorbers is $\sim 25-55\%$ for CIV and $\sim 80-95\%$ for OVI, depending on stellar mass and impact parameter. In general, the highest column density absorption features for each ion arise from dense gas. Satellite gas, defined as that within $10r_{1/2,\star},$ contributes $\sim 3\%$ of overall HI absorption but $\sim 30\%$ of MgII absorption, with the fraction from satellites decreasing with increasing ion excitation energy.
