摘要:

最近几个星系形成的模拟预测了超大质量黑洞(BH)吸积的两个主要阶段:早期,高度间歇性的阶段(在此期间,BH相对于局部标度关系质量不足),随后是加速增长的阶段。我们调查的物理因素,推动BH吸积在宇宙学放大模拟从火项目,从矮星系到星系足够大的主机发光类星体的过渡。模拟模拟了多通道恒星反馈,但忽略了AGN反馈。我们发现,多个物理特性,包括晕质量,星系恒星质量,和深度的中心引力势与加速BH加油:这些属性中的恒定阈值通常在加速BH加油的~0.1哈勃时间内交叉。当内层1 kpc的恒星表面密度超过一个阈值σ 1 ~ 10^9.5 Msun/kpc ^2时,黑洞质量急剧增加。这个阈值是一个特征值,超过这个值,引力会阻止恒星反馈喷射气体,而超过这个值,星系就会熄灭。我们进一步表明,加速BH的增长与长寿,薄气盘的出现,以及与环星系内介质的维里化。黑洞加速生长的晕质量Mh ~ 10^10.5 Msun和恒星质量Mstar ~ 10^10.5 Msun对应于~L* 星系。恒星反馈在从这个质量尺度以上的星系核中喷射气体时变得无效,这一事实可能在解释为什么活动星系核反馈在~L* 以上的星系中显得最重要方面起着重要作用。

英文摘要:

Several recent simulations of galaxy formation predict two main phases of supermassive black hole (BH) accretion: an early, highly intermittent phase (during which BHs are under-massive relative to local scaling relations), followed by a phase of accelerated growth. We investigate physical factors that drive the transition in BH accretion in cosmological zoom-in simulations from the FIRE project, ranging from dwarf galaxies to galaxies sufficiently massive to host luminous quasars. The simulations model multi-channel stellar feedback, but neglect AGN feedback. We show that multiple physical properties, including halo mass, galaxy stellar mass, and depth of the central gravitational potential correlate with accelerated BH fueling: constant thresholds in these properties are typically crossed within ~0.1 Hubble time of accelerated BH fueling. Black hole masses increase sharply when the stellar surface density in the inner 1 kpc crosses a threshold Sigma1 ~ 10^9.5 Msun/kpc^2, a characteristic value above which gravity prevents stellar feedback from ejecting gas, and similar to the value above which galaxies are observed to quench. We further show that accelerated BH growth correlates with the emergence of long-lived, thin gas disks, as well as with virialization of the inner circumgalactic medium. The halo mass Mh ~ 10^12 Msun and stellar mass Mstar ~ 10^10.5 Msun at which BH growth accelerates correspond to ~L* galaxies. The fact that stellar feedback becomes inefficient at ejecting gas from the nucleus above this mass scale may play an important role in explaining why AGN feedback appears to be most important in galaxies above ~L*.
