Poisson Equation
At early times or small fluctuations P=0
Eulerian vs Lagrangian Eulerian fixed in space, Lagrangian moves with fluid
Comoving Gradient
Growth of structures when delta is small
EdS
Linear Growth Factor D(a)
Form of D a in EdS, smaller later in other cosmologies
Potential Evolution
ZA Extrapolation of linear growth into the non-linear regime when δ is not small. Particles move in straight lines. Breaks down when shell crossing occurs; particle trajectories intersect and the local density becomes infinite.
ZA comoving position
Initial Displacement Field
EdS radius growth of sphere at mean density t^(2/3)
Radius of slightly overdense sphere
Linear sol to radius of overdense sphere
Mean vs overdense sphere
Overdensity linear approx
Overdensity Values
Virial Theorem 2K+V=0
Virial radius for Spherical Tophat r_vir = r_ta/2
Mass of virialised Perturbation
Value of Delta_c 18 pi^2 =178 EdS, sometimes 200, 500.
Gaussian Random Field Initial overdensity field. The phases of the individual Fourier Modes are random, all info withing the amplitudes.
Average of the Gaussian Random Field 0
Vairance of Gaussian Random Field
Usual Power Spectrum and Inflation Prediction P(k) = k^n, n~1
Meszaros Effect Supresses growth on small scales (large k) due to radiation
Linear power spectrum P(k) = D^2(a)
Smoothed overdensity field (variance on a certain scale)
What is filtered by the smoothing? lambda << R, R comoving radius of top-hat sphere.
Ergodic principle Ensemble average over many independent universes is equivalent to one over well separated points.
Characteristic comoving scale of dark matter halo definition delta_C=sigma_R
Characteristic radius for k^n power spectrum
When is sigma_8 evaluated a=1
Rstar Mstar relation, Mstar definition
Behaviour of characteristic halo mass For n>-3, grows with time
Local gradient of CDM power spectrum d ln P/d ln k >-3
Halo mass function and cumulative mass function
Press-Schechter ansatz
Peak height nu = delta_C/sigma_R
PS mass function behaviours Power-law like at low masses (common), exponential at large masses (rare).
Dynamical timescale Time taken for a halo to collapse. Timescales over which gravity can react to changes in the system
Dynamical timescale formula
Relaxation timescale Time taken for two-body encounters to drive a collisionless sytem to collisional. For real galaxies and DM haloes, much logner than the age of the universe, so collisionless.
Relaxation timescale formula
Singular Isothermal Sphere grav potential
SIS velocity dispersion sigma^2, constant
Hernquist model grav potential
SIS density
Hernquist Density
Navarro, Frenk and White (NFW) rho goes as r^-3 at large radius, usually used for haloes in cosmological simulations
Jean Length Distance a sound wave can propagate in a crossing time. Perturbations with larger radius collapse, smaller are stable.
Jeans Length Formula
Adiabatic Sound Speed
gamma for monoatomic ideal 5/3
Jeans Mass (If greater, Collapse)
Temperature- DM velocity dispersion relation for isothermal sphere in hydrostatic equilibrium
Virial Temperature
Spherical top hat definition of halo
Cooling time u/udot, measures how fast can hydrostatic gas radiate its thermal E
Specific thermal energy
Emissivity (Power radiated per unit volume)
Cooling time with cooling function
Cooling to dynamical time relations If cooling time lower, gas falls to the centre and forms a galaxy, if not, hydrostatic atmosphere at virial T
Cooling radius Where the dynamical and cooling time meet. Gas within it forms a galaxy
When the virial radius is the cooling one At 12 solar masses, so mass scale of galaxies. Higher are groups or clusters.
How do DM haloes acquire spin ang mom? Torques from the surrounding structures (tidal)
Time evolution of ang mom of proto-halo region, EdS case J(t)=a^2 Ddot, just t for EdS
Spatial evolution of ang mom of proto-halo Depends on inertia tensor of proto-halo and tidal tensor
Halo spin parameter
Typical halo spin param 0.04
Exponential surface density of disks
Halo vs disk M_d=f_dM; J_d=j_dJ
Isothermal halo disk central surface density
Isothermal halo disk central length scale
Model ISM Three phases: Cold clouds 100 K, warm gas 10^4 K, hot gas 10^6 K. In approximate pressure equilibrium and polytropic equation of state, P proportional a rho^gamma_eff
Kennicut-Schmidt Law
Parameters of KS law Sigma gas greater than critical, n ~1.4
Feedback processes Reduces accretion of cold gas and subsequent SF. Main two supernova explosions from massive stars and AGN. Supernova affect dwarf and galaxy scales, AGN galaxy, group and cluster scales.
Galactic wind speed due to supernovae
Parameters of wind speed Epsilon efficiency parameter, eta mass loading parameter.
Galaxy velocity dispersion-Halo mass relation
Hot clusters thermal emission Bremsstrahlung, Lambda(T)=sqrt(T)
X-ray luminosity-mass
Real LM relation Steeper: Feedback processes heats gas in low mass clusters and groups, so lower luminosity
