Hierarchical Formation of Galaxies with Dynamical Response to Supernova-Induced Gas removal
arXiv:astro-ph/0404485 · doi:10.1086/421484
Abstract
We reanalyze the formation and evolution of galaxies in the hierarchical clustering scenario. Using a semi-analytic model (SAM) of galaxy formation described in this paper, which we hereafter call the Mitaka model, we extensively investigate the observed scaling relations of galaxies among photometric, kinematic, structural and chemical characteristics. In such a scenario, spheroidal galaxies are assumed to be formed by major merger and subsequent starburst, in contrast to the traditional scenario of monolithic cloud collapse. As a new ingredient of SAMs, we introduce the effects of dynamical response to supernova-induced gas removal on size and velocity dispersion, which play an important role on dwarf galaxy formation. In previous theoretical studies of dwarf galaxies based on the monolithic cloud collapse given by Yoshii & Arimoto and Dekel & Silk, the dynamical response was treated in the extremes of a purely baryonic cloud and a baryonic cloud fully supported by surrounding dark matter. To improve this simple treatment, in our previous paper, we formulated the dynamical response in more realistic, intermediate situations between the above extremes. While the effects of dynamical response depend on the mass fraction of removed gas from a galaxy, how much amount of the gas remains just after major merger depends on the star formation history. A variety of star formation histories are generated through the Monte Carlo realization of merging histories of dark halos, and it is found that our SAM naturally makes a wide variety of dwarf galaxies and their dispersed characteristics as observed.
