1 1 Origin and Evolution of Structure and Streaming Flows in the Local Group Grant J. Mathews Center for Astrophysics/JINA University of Notre Dame X. Zhao Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics Penn State University 3 rd Subaru Int. Conf. GALACTIC ARCHAEOLOGY Shuzenji, Japan Nov. 3, 2011

2 The Galaxy & the Local Group The Galaxy did not form in isolation. It is the product of the development of much larger structure. It was formed in concert with the entire Local Group and was affected by dark matter, dark energy, mergers, star formation and nucleosynthesis processes, mass ejection, heating, and cooling occurring throughout a large volume. 2

3 The Simulations 3 X. Zhao & GJM, PRD (2011) http://www.nd.edu/~xzhao/ CMB  LSS  Local Group

4 Initial conditions 4 CMBFAST  CMB power spectrum  Use power spectrum to generate a spectrum of random Gaussian fluctuations WMAP Cosmic Microwave Background Z ~ 1100 Z ~ 49

5 The Simulation 5 Large Scale Structure Simulation Local Group no GADGET SPH Hydro yes Gravity N-body Heating/ Cooling Star Formation Stellar Wind Mass ejection Nucleosnthesis Heating

6 6 X. Zhao & GJM (2011) Begin with LSS

7 Large Scale Structure Simulations X. Zhao & GJM (2011 ) Scan for Poor Clusters

10 Galaxies form in Dark Matter Potentials 10

11 11 Galaxies

12 Disk Galaxies 12

13 A Milky Way Like Galaxy 13

14 14 Results of Simulations: Significant star formation occurs far from the galaxy in protogalactic structures. Dwarf Proto-galactic halos arrive in a stochastic stream flowing along dark-matter filaments. The local-group like system shows an alignment defined by the directions of the streaming flows

15 Simulation Comoving Velocity Flow 15 Zhao & Mathews (2011)

16 Is there evidence for aligned flow in the Local Group? 16

17 High Velocity Clouds 17 B. Wakker et al. (1999)

18 Observed Local Group Radial motion 18 -1.5 Mpc +1.5 Mpc 0.0 Need to analyze extended Local Group Redshift distribution Goslowski et al 2006

20 20 Conclusions Galaxies are not isolated objects but are the culmination of halo formation, mergers, star formation and nucleosynthesis in an extended connected environment. Significant star formation and occurs far from the galaxy in aligned dwarf proto-galactic structures. Dwarf Proto-galactic halos arrive in a stochastic stream flowing along dark-matter filaments. There is marginal evidence for alignment and streaming motion in the Extended Local Group
