Counts-in-Cells of subhaloes in the IllustrisTNG simulations: the role of baryonic physics
arXiv:2007.05982 · doi:10.1093/mnras/stab445
Abstract
We present an analysis of the Counts-in-Cells (CiC) statistics of subhaloes in the publicly available IllustrisTNG cosmological simulations (TNG100-1, TNG100-3 and TNG300-3), considering their full and dark-only versions, in redshifts ranging from to , and different cell sizes. We evaluated two CiC models: the gravitational quasi-equilibrium distribution (GQED) and the negative binomial distribution (NBD), both presenting good fits, with small detectable differences in the presence of baryons. Scaling and time dependencies of the best-fit parameters showed similar trends compared with the literature. We derived a matter density-in-cells probability distribution function (PDF), associated with the GQED, which was compared to the PDF given in Uhlemann et al. (2016), for the IllustrisTNG 100-3-Dark run at . Our results indicate that the simplest gravithermodynamical assumptions of the GQED model hold in the presence of baryonic dissipation. Interestingly, the smoothed (density-in-cells) version of the GQED is also adequate for describing the dark matter one-point statistics of subhaloes and converges, to subpercentage levels (for an interval of parameters), to the Uhlemann et al. PDF in the high density range.
