AI总结:

本文定量评估了NFW profile和DARKexp对IllustrisTNG模拟中暗物质晕相空间分布函数与能量分布的拟合,发现DARKexp在低能态表现更优,并揭示了两者能量尺度间的近似关系。

摘要:

对于具有各向同性速度分布的球状暗物质晕,其相空间分布函数(DF)、能量分布和密度分布构成了对其平衡态的一组自洽描述,已知其中一个即可确定另外两个。已知 Navarro-Frenk-White 密度分布(NFW profile)是模拟晕中球面平均密度分布的良好近似。已知 DARKexp 能量分布也与模拟的能量分布吻合良好。我们对 IllustrisTNG 项目的纯暗物质模拟中广泛范围的晕,定量评估了 NFW 和 DARKexp 对模拟 DF 和能量分布的拟合。正如预期,我们发现 NFW 拟合表现良好,但在低能态时由于小半径处的密度偏离 NFW profile 而出现偏差。此外,在两者都拟合良好的区域,NFW 和 DARKexp 拟合具有相当的精度,但 DARKexp 拟合在低能态表现更好,因为它们要求匹配中心引力势。我们还发现,参数化 DARKexp 能量分布的能量尺度与由 NFW profile 的特征密度和半径定义的能量尺度之间存在近似关系。这一关系可能与晕形成过程中的弛豫过程有关。

英文摘要:

For a spherical dark matter halo with isotropic velocity distribution, the phase space distribution function (DF), the energy distribution, and the density profile form a set of self-consistent description of its equilibrium state, and knowing one is sufficient to determine the other two. The Navarro-Frenk-White density profile (NFW profile) is known to be a good approximation to the spherically-averaged density distribution in simulated haloes. The DARKexp energy distribution is also known to compare well with the simulated energy distribution. We present a quantitative assessment of the NFW and DARKexp fits to the simulated DF and energy distribution for a wide range of haloes in a dark-matter-only simulation from the IllustrisTNG Project. As expected, we find that the NFW fits work well except at low energy when the density at small radii deviates from the NFW profile. Further, the NFW and DARKexp fits have comparable accuracy in the region where both fit well, but the DARKexp fits are better at low energy because they require matching of the central gravitational potential. We also find an approximate relation between the energy scale parameterizing the DARKexp energy distribution and that defined by the characteristic density and radius of the NFW profile. This relation may be linked to the relaxation process during halo formation.
