AI总结:

本研究通过COZMIC的24个f-NCDM宇宙学暗物质zoom-in模拟,建模子晕质量函数并结合银河系卫星星系数据,对部分非冷暗物质和WDM-CDM混合模型给出新约束。

摘要:

作为COZMIC套件的第二部分,我们展示了24个针对一个银河系类似天体的仅含暗物质(DM)的宇宙学zoom-in模拟,其初始条件适用于非冷暗物质(NCDM)占总DM丰度一部分的情形(f-NCDM模型)。我们使用传递函数$T_{\mathrm{f-NCDM}}(k)\equiv\sqrt{P_{\mathrm{f-NCDM}}(k)/P_{\mathrm{CDM}}(k)}$(其中$P(k)$为线性物质功率谱)初始化模拟,其初始抑制类似于热遗迹暖暗物质(WDM),随后出现恒定振幅平台。我们模拟了抑制波数$[22.8, 32.1, 41.8, 52.0, 57.1, 95.3]~\mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$,对应热遗迹WDM质量$m_{\mathrm{WDM}}\in[3, 4, 5, 6, 6.5, 10]~\mathrm{keV}$,以及平台振幅$\delta\in[0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8]$。我们依据抑制波数和$\delta$对子晕质量函数建模。将这些模型整合到银河系卫星星系种群的前向模型中,得到了对f-NCDM情形的新限制:在95%置信度下,对于$\delta=0.2$和0.4,抑制波数分别大于46和$40~\mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$。当前数据无法约束$\delta>0.4$。我们将这些限制映射到一部分DM(比例为$f_{\mathrm{WDM}}$)表现为热遗迹的情形,从而在95%置信度下对WDM与CDM混合的宇宙学给出以下界限:当$f_{\mathrm{WDM}}=0.5、0.6、0.7、0.8、0.9$时,分别有$m_{\mathrm{WDM}}>3.6、4.1、4.6、4.9、5.4~\mathrm{keV}$。当前数据无法约束$f_{\mathrm{WDM}}<0.5$的WDM比例。我们的结果证实,低质量晕丰度对$P(k)$中的部分抑制十分敏感,表明利用星系子结构在小尺度上重建$P(k)$是可能的。

英文摘要:

We present $24$ cosmological dark matter (DM)-only zoom-in simulations of a Milky Way analog with initial conditions appropriate for scenarios where non-cold dark matter (NCDM) is a fraction of the total DM abundance (f-NCDM models) as the second installment of the COZMIC suite. We initialize our simulations using transfer functions, $T_{\mathrm{f-NCDM}}(k)\equiv\sqrt{P_{\mathrm{f-NCDM}}(k)/P_{\mathrm{CDM}}(k)}$ (where $P(k)$ is the linear matter power spectrum), with an initial suppression similar to thermal-relic warm dark matter (WDM) followed by a constant-amplitude plateau. We simulate suppression wavenumbers $[22.8,~ 32.1,~ 41.8,~ 52.0,~ 57.1,~ 95.3]~\mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$, corresponding to thermal-relic WDM masses $m_{\mathrm{WDM}}\in [3,~ 4,~ 5,~ 6,~ 6.5,~ 10]~\mathrm{keV}$, and plateau amplitudes $δ\in [0.2,~ 0.4,~ 0.6,~ 0.8]$. We model the subhalo mass function in terms of the suppression wavenumber and $δ$. Integrating these models into a forward model of the MW satellite galaxy population yields new limits on f-NCDM scenarios, with suppression wavenumbers greater than $46$ and $ 40~\mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$ for $δ=0.2$, $0.4$, respectively, at $95\%$ confidence. The current data do not constrain $δ>0.4$. We map these limits to scenarios where a fraction $f_{\mathrm{WDM}}$ of DM behaves as a thermal relic, which yields the following bounds on cosmologies with a mixture of WDM and CDM: $m_{\mathrm{WDM}}>3.6,~ 4.1,~ 4.6,~ 4.9,~ 5.4~\mathrm{keV}$ for $f_{\mathrm{WDM}}=0.5,~ 0.6,~ 0.7,~ 0.8,~ 0.9$, respectively, at $95\%$ confidence. The current data do not constrain WDM fractions $f_{\mathrm{WDM}}<0.5$. Our results affirm that low-mass halo abundances are sensitive to partial suppression in $P(k)$, indicating the possibility of using galactic substructure to reconstruct $P(k)$ on small scales.
