Constituents Structure Main parameters 2.2 Basic elements of galaxy formation Cosmology Initial conditions Structure formation Gas cooling Star formation Feedback Mergers Dynamical evolution Chemical evolution 2.3 Time scales 2.4 Some historical notes Contents
7 2.2 Basic elements of galaxy formation
8 2.2.1 Cosmology General relativity Cosmological principle (homogeneity and isotropy) FLRW metric Uniquely determined by geometry (k) and expansion history (R(t)) These are in turn determined by the mass-energy budget of the Universe:
9 2.2.2 Initial conditions The basic cosmological model does not explain the emergence of structure in the Universe. Source of initial density perturbations from which galactic structures could develop is still not entirely clear. Best bet: a period of inflationary expansion in the very early Universe (at end of GUT era) that inflates quantum fluctuations to a macroscopic scale
10 2.2.3 Structure formation Gravitational instability = amplification of initial density perturbations
11 2.2.3 Structure formation Increased density region Average density region Gravitational instability = amplification of initial density perturbations / 1 Collapse = decoupling from Hubble expansion t
12 2.2.3 Structure formation Increased density region Average density region Gravitational instability = amplification of initial density perturbations / 1 Collapse = decoupling from Hubble expansion DM relaxes halo Shocked gas t
13 2.2.4 Gas cooling Increased density region Average density region Gravitational instability = amplification of initial density perturbations Gas cooling depends strongly on: Temperature Density Chemical composition of gas Cooling segregation of gas from DM, collects as cold gas in centre of DM halo proto-galaxy (disk) / 1 Collapse = decoupling from Hubble expansion DM relaxes halo Shocked gas Gas cools through brems and recombination radiation t
14 2.2.5 Star formation Increased density region Average density region Gravitational instability = amplification of initial density perturbations Eventually: self-gravity of gas dominates runaway collapse, fragmentation star formation (SF) Details still poorly understood Initial mass function (IMF)? Two SF modes: Quiescent Bursting / 1 Collapse = decoupling from Hubble expansion DM relaxes halo Shocked gas Gas cools through brems and recombination radiation Star formation t
15 2.2.6 Feedback Increased density region Average density region Gravitational instability = amplification of initial density perturbations To prevent all of the gas from forming stars, the gas needs to be stopped from cooling, reheated or expelled. Feedback from: AGN (high-mass) Supernovae (low-mass) / 1 Collapse = decoupling from Hubble expansion DM relaxes halo Shocked gas Gas cools through brems and recombination radiation Star formation Feedback t
16 2.2.6 Feedback Increased density region Average density region Gravitational instability = amplification of initial density perturbations / 1 Collapse = decoupling from Hubble expansion DM relaxes halo Shocked gas Gas cools through brems and recombination radiation Star formation Feedback t
17 2.2.6 Feedback Increased density region Average density region Gravitational instability = amplification of initial density perturbations To prevent all of the gas from forming stars, the gas needs to be stopped from cooling, reheated or expelled. Feedback from: AGN (high-mass) Supernovae (low-mass) / 1 Collapse = decoupling from Hubble expansion DM relaxes halo Shocked gas Gas cools through brems and recombination radiation Star formation Details poorly understood t Feedback
18 2.2.6 Feedback Increased density region Average density region Gravitational instability = amplification of initial density perturbations / 1 Collapse = decoupling from Hubble expansion DM relaxes halo Shocked gas Gas cools through brems and recombination radiation Star formation Feedback t
19 2.2.6 Feedback Increased density region Average density region Gravitational instability = amplification of initial density perturbations / 1 Collapse = decoupling from Hubble expansion DM relaxes halo Shocked gas Gas cools through brems and recombination radiation Star formation Feedback t
20 2.2.7 Mergers Increased density region Average density region t Gravitational instability = amplification of initial density perturbations / 1 Collapse = decoupling from Hubble expansion DM relaxes halo Shocked gas Gas cools through brems and recombination radiation Star formation t Hierarchical growth Feedback
21 2.2.7 Mergers
22 2.2.7 Mergers
23 2.2.8 Dynamical evolution Tidal stripping Tidal interactions with other galaxies can remove stars, gas and DM, and perturb the structure:
24 2.2.8 Dynamical evolution Tidal stripping Ram-pressure stripping Movement of a satellite galaxy through the hot halo gas of another galaxy causes a drag to be exerted on the ISM of the satellite ablation of gas and dust:
25 2.2.8 Dynamical evolution Tidal stripping Ram-pressure stripping Internal dynamical effects ( secular evolution ) Changes of structure and morphology due to large-scale redistributions of mass and angular momentum Especially in galaxy disks (disk instability) Bars Pseudo-bulges
26 2.2.9 Chemical evolution Stars produce heavy elements through nuclear fusion. These are returned to the ISM by stellar winds or supernovae. The metallicity of the ISM and of newly formed stars changes over time. Changes the luminosities and colours of newly formed stars. Changes the cooling efficiency of the gas. Changes the abundance of dust. Evolution is made more complicated by: Infall of fresh gas Blow-out of gas by feedback processes Mergers
27 2.2 Basic elements of galaxy formation
28 Structure formation: DM only
29 Structure formation: DM only
30 Galaxy formation: numerical models Simultaneous simulation of DM and gas hydrodynamics + recipes for sub-grid physics : cooling, photo-ionisation, star formation and evolution, feedback
31 1. Introduction 2. Overview of galaxies and physical processes 2.1 What is a galaxy? Constituents Structure Main parameters 2.2 Basic elements of galaxy formation Cosmology Initial conditions Structure formation Gas cooling Star formation Feedback Mergers Dynamical evolution Chemical evolution 2.3 Time scales 2.4 Some historical notes Contents
32 2.3 Time scales Hubble time Timescale of cosmological evolution: 1/H 0 Dynamical time Typical time to cross a dynamical system: t dyn = 2 t ff = Cooling time Time it would take to lose all energy at current energy loss rate 3π 16 G ഥρ Star-formation time Time it would take to convert all cold gas to stars at current starformation rate Chemical enrichment time Merging time Typical time between mergers with similar-mass object Dynamical friction time Typical time for a satellite orbiting in large halo to lose its orbital energy
33 2.3 Time scales Relative time scales of prcesses are important Examples: Cooling time vs dynamical time Star formation time vs dynamical time Chemical enrichment time vs star-formation time No single time scale for galaxy formation itself!
