摘要:

星系和星系团及其高红移前体的动力学状态和形态特征与它们的聚集历史紧密相关,编码了关于这些宇宙结构形成和演化的关键信息。作为第一步,寻找一个最佳的指示器的组装状态的观察到的结构,我们使用的宇宙学模拟的一个中等的体积,严格审查的最佳定义的一个指标,能够区分暗物质晕进行合并和/或强吸积晕实验一个轻松的演变。使用中心偏移,维里比,平均径向速度,稀疏性和椭圆率的暗物质晕的组合,我们研究如何对这些参数的阈值,以及它们的相对权重,应与红移的演变,以提供最好的分类可能。这使我们能够将晕的样本分为完全放松的,轻微放松的和未放松的子样本。由此产生的分类强烈相关的合并活动,从整个模拟数据中提取的完整的合并树的分析。关于不同指标如何取决于红移和晕质量的结果,以及它们的最佳组合如何更好地匹配晕的真实组装历史,可以构成相关的提示,以找到一套适用于观测数据的合适指标。

英文摘要:

The dynamical state and morphological features of galaxies and galaxy clusters, and their high-redshift precursors, are tightly connected with their assembly history, encoding crucial information about the formation and evolution of such cosmic structures. As a first step towards finding an optimal indicator of the assembly state of observed structures, we use a cosmological simulation of a moderate volume to critically examine the best definition of an indicator that is able to discriminate dark matter haloes undergoing mergers and/or strong accretion from haloes experimenting a relaxed evolution. Using a combination of centre offset, virial ratio, mean radial velocity, sparsity and ellipticity of the dark matter halo, we study how the thresholds on these parameters, as well as their relative weights, should evolve with redshift to provide the best classification possible. This allows us to split a sample of haloes in a totally relaxed, a marginally relaxed and an unrelaxed subsamples. The resulting classification strongly correlates with the merging activity obtained from the analysis of complete merger trees extracted from whole simulation data. The results on how the different indicators depend on redshift and halo mass, and their optimal combination to better match the true assembly history of haloes, could constitute relevant hints to find a suitable set of indicators applicable to observational data.
