Properties of the diffuse gas component in filaments detected in the Dianoga cosmological simulations
2024
Overview
Hydrodynamical cosmological simulations are ideal laboratories where the evolution of the cosmic web can be studied. This allows for easier insight into the nature of the filaments. We investigate how the intrinsic properties of filaments are evolving in areas extracted from a larger cosmological simulation. We aim to identify significant trends in the properties of Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium (WHIM) and suggest possible explanations. To study the filaments and their contents, we select a subset of regions from the Dianoga simulation. We analysed these regions that were simulated with different baryon physics, namely with and without the AGN feedback. We construct the cosmic web using the Sub-space Constrained Mean Shift (SCMS) algorithm and the Sequential Chain Algorithm for Resolving Filaments (SCARF). We examined the basic physical properties of filaments (length, shape, mass, radius) and analysed different gas phases (hot, WHIM and colder gas components) within those structures. The evolution of the global filament properties and the properties of the gas phases were studied in the redshift range \\(0 < z < 1.48\\). Within our simulations, the detected filaments have, on average, lengths below \\(9\\) Mpc. The filaments' shape correlates with their length; the longer they are, the more likely they are curved. We find that the scaling relation between mass \\(M\\) and length \\(L\\) of the filaments is well described by the power law \\(M \\propto L^{1.7}\\). The radial density profile is widening with redshift, meaning that the radius of the filaments is getting larger over time. The fraction of gas mass in the WHIM phase does not depend on the model and is rising towards lower redshifts. However, the included baryon physics has a strong impact on the metallicity of gas in filaments, indicating that the AGN feedback impacts the metal content already at redshifts of \\(z \\sim 2\\).
