晕圈形状测量的灵敏度

Sensitivity of Halo Shape Measurements

Moritz S. Fischer, Lucas M. Valenzuela

摘要:

星系和星系团的形状测量在宇宙学模拟分析中广泛应用。但这些测量的局限性却没有得到充分的研究。在本文中,我们解释了为什么形状测量的质量不仅取决于数值分辨率,而且对密度梯度。特别是,这会限制晕中心区域的测量质量。我们提出了一个标准来估计的灵敏度的测量形状的基础上的密度梯度的晕,并将其应用到宇宙学模拟的无碰撞和自相互作用的暗物质。通过这一点,我们证明了可靠的测量晕的形状是可能的,以及如何核心的密度分布限制其适用性。

英文摘要:

Shape measurements of galaxies and galaxy clusters are widespread in the analysis of cosmological simulations. But the limitations of those measurements have been poorly investigated. In this paper, we explain why the quality of the shape measurement does not only depend on the numerical resolution, but also on the density gradient. In particular, this can limit the quality of measurements in the central regions of haloes. We propose a criterion to estimate the sensitivity of the measured shapes based on the density gradient of the halo and to apply it to cosmological simulations of collisionless and self-interacting dark matter. By this, we demonstrate where reliable measurements of the halo shape are possible and how cored density profiles limit their applicability.
