Dark Halos and Galaxy Evolution
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the evolution of disk galaxies within the frame of the cold dark matter (CDM) cosmologies. The hydrodynamics of a centrifugally supported gaseous disk and the growth of a stellar disk is calculated in detail taking into account the energy balance of the ISM and the gravitational instabilities that concern gas and stars. The halo density profile is derived from the primordial cosmological conditions and its gravitational contraction produced by the disk is included. Several features of the spiral galaxies at different redshifts are predicted, and the main factors which influence on these features are found. A strong evidence is provided that the Tully-Fisher (TF) relation is an imprint of the primordial cosmological conditions.

Probing the Structure of Dark Matter in Galaxy Halos and Clusters using Supernovae
A new method for measuring gravitational lensing with high redshift type Ia supernovae is investigated. The method utilizes correlations between foreground galaxies and supernova brightnesses to substantially reduce possible systematic errors and increase the signal to noise ratio. It is shown that this lensing signal can be related to the mass, size and substructure of galaxy halos and galaxy ...

متن کاملTracing Galaxy Formation with Stellar Halos I: Methods
If the favored hierarchical cosmological model is correct, then the Milky Way system should have accreted ∼ 100− 200 luminous satellite galaxies in the past ∼ 12 Gyr. We model this process using a hybrid semi-analytic plus N-body approach which distinguishes explicitly between the evolution of light and dark matter in accreted satellites. This distinction is essential to our ability to produce ...
متن کاملEvolution of galaxies in triaxial halos with figure rotation
Firstly, we demonstrate that unusually large outer HI spiral arms observed in NGC 2915 can form in an extended gas disk embedded in a massive triaxial dark matter halo with slow figure rotation, through the strong gravitational torque of the rotating halo. Secondly, we show that the figure rotation of a triaxial dark matter halo can influence dynamical evolution of disk galaxies by using fully ...
متن کاملWarps and Bars from the External Tidal Torques of Tumbling Dark Halos
The dark matter halos in ΛCDM cosmological simulations are triaxial and highly flattened. In many cases, these triaxial equilibria are also tumbling slowly, typically about their short axes, with periods of order a Hubble time. Halos may therefore exert a slowly changing external torque on spiral galaxies that can affect their dynamical evolution in interesting ways. We examine the effect of th...
متن کاملThe Effects of Photoionization on Galaxy Formation — I: Model and Results at z=0
We develop a coupled model for the evolution of the global properties of the intergalactic medium (IGM) and the formation of galaxies, in the presence of a photoionizing background due to stars and quasars. We use this model to predict the thermodynamic history of the IGM when photoionized by galaxies forming in a cold dark matter (CDM) universe. The evolution of the galaxies is calculated usin...
