Galaxy formation: the biased point of view of the spin
Stochastic spin: Vitviska+ 02, Beson+ 20
Spin prediction, Porciani+ 02
Spin: \[\lambda = \dfrac{j}{\sqrt{2}R_\mathrm{vir}V_{vir}}\]
- Spin jumps at mergers
- Distribution well reproduced by drawing mergers' parameters randomly
- Theoretical predictions are, at best, inaccurate
First complication
\(1\,\mathrm{dex}\)!
“Mergers bring chaos”
Second complication
Let's be optimistic and assume we can predict DM spin
DM spin is not even a good predictor for the galaxy's!

Example of the S-curve:
2D manifold embedded in 3D
Compute \(k\)-nearest neighbors
→ edges of a graph
Draw a point
→ find shortest path to all others
Take a radius
count number of points, \(p\) within \([r, r+\mathrm{d} r]\)
\(\Rightarrow p(r) \propto r^{D-1}\)

Note: we are not working with images, but integrated magnitudes

Conclusions
The title might have been clickbait… but
-
On global scales galaxies aren't that complex: success of simulations
Actual complexity is on the order of 3 (mass, redshift, SFR?)
-
Tides determine merger orbital parameters & angular momentum accretion
Mergers are not stochastic/not rerolling the dice
-
Trickling down to galactic scale, which drives scaling relations
Galaxies are less stochastic than expected
Galaxy & DM spin sins are partially independent at the level of individual galaxies
-
Non-linear effects on halo shape and alignment are comparable to population-level
Crucial to investigate further the success of Euclid or LSST

This is actually done by minimizing \((\delta_\mathrm{new}-\delta_\mathrm{old})^\dagger \textbf{C}^{-1}(\delta_\mathrm{new}-\delta_\mathrm{old})\)

Most of re-alignment happens in the inner CGM \(0.1\leq \displaystyle\frac{r}{R_\mathrm{vir}}\leq 0.3\)
The longer gas remains in inner CGM, the more it realigns (with disk)

Temporary conclusions
-
angular momentum is predictable
-
boundary of halos in the ICs is a hard problem
⇒ limits practicality of predictions (for now)
-
baryons appear to be simpler!
⇒ good news for weak lensing predictions
⇒ key to understand morphology

Environmental effects:
- source of “pollution” in weak lensing surveys
⇒ intrinsic alignment
- extra parameters in semi-analytical models
