CDM Mass function in void regions High-resolution N-body Simulations Gottlöber et al 2003
The missing dwarf galaxy problem in void regions • If LCDM comology is correct there should be a lot of small halos (Vc < 20 km/s ) in voids. Same problem as satellites of galaxies: too much substructure in CDM models. • No galaxies brighter than MB=-11 (Karanchentsev talk) found in local voids. • What happens with baryons of small halos in voids? • Are they visible but very faint?. Magnitude, colors. (Red Dwarfs) • Are they just baryonless dark halos? • What are the physical mechanisms ? • Gas evaporation by UV photoionization • Supernova feedback (e.g Dekel & Silk) • What is the typical halo mass for this to happen?
GALAXY FORMATION IN VOIDS M. Hoeft, G. Yepes, S. Gottlober and V. Springel, MNRAS 2006, 371, 401 And Matthias Hoeft’s talk tomorrow
HIGH RESOLUTION LCDM VOID SIMULATIONS MULTIMASS TECHNIQUE • Multi-mass technique to achieve high resolution: • Re-Simulated void areas from large computational boxes by resampling particles of incresing mass away from the refined region: • Original intial conditions set up to 20483 particles in a big (50-80 Mpc) box. • S. Gottloeber’s void finding algorithm: • Spherical void regions are selected as maximum spheres that do not contain any large (> 2x1011 M)halo
(G)ASTROPHYSICAL PROCESSES • To study in detail the galaxy formation process we take into account: • Radiative and Compton cooling • UV-photoionization • Multiphase ISM. • Star Formation. • Star-Gas back-reactions • SN’s thermal Feedbacks: Cloud Evaporation and gas reheating • Stelar Winds • Springel-Hernquist (2003) implementation of multiphase SPH modeling in GADGET-2.

Baryon fraction Halos below few times 109 Msun are baryon-poor Characteristic mass scale depends on redshift
Characteristic massMc Mc rises significantly with z Halo may start baryon-rich and become later baryon-poor baryon-rich baryon-poor
What is the characteristic Mass? Listen to Matthias Hoeft’s talk tomorrow Tentry Density –Temperature phase diagram Cold mode of galactic gas accretion: gas creeps along the equilibrium line between heating and Cooling (Keres et al. 04) For gas to be able to enter the instabilty branch, need to be heated above Tentry temperature. Mc can be viewed as the critical mass for which the virial temperature of gas inside is above the entry temperature of the thermal unstable regime.

CONCLUSIONS • At present, halos below Mlim~ 7x109 M (vc~27 km/s) are photo-evaporated and have few baryon content, either cold gas or stars. This mass scale decreases with redshift. Very small dependence of UV flux. • Halos can condense baryons and form stars early than reionization redshift. Seems enough for them to shine today. • UV-photoheating not able to suppress most of the small galaxies: Does not solve the problem of excess of substructure of LCDM . • Thermal feedback (as implemented in the simulations) does not play a significant role in keeping gas out of small halos. • Kinetic feedback (winds) is very efficient in suppressing star-formation provided that a substantial fraction of ESN goes into wind energy. Need more work on feedback modeling. • Dwarfs ending up in other environments (e.g groups) have similar properties as long as they have not experience substantial interactions with the host halo.
