Origin of the galaxy H I size-mass relation

We analytically derive the observed size-mass relation of galaxies’ atomic hydrogen (H i), including limits on its scatter, based on simple assumptions about the structure of H i discs. We trial three generic profiles for H i surface density as a function of radius. First, we assert that H i surface...

520 |a We analytically derive the observed size-mass relation of galaxies’ atomic hydrogen (H i), including limits on its scatter, based on simple assumptions about the structure of H i discs. We trial three generic profiles for H i surface density as a function of radius. First, we assert that H i surface densities saturate at a variable threshold, and otherwise fall off exponentially with radius or, secondly, radius squared. Our third model assumes the total gas surface density is exponential, with the H i fraction at each radius depending on local pressure. These are tested against a compilation of 110 galaxies from the THINGS, LITTLE THINGS, LVHIS, and Bluedisk surveys, whose H i surface density profiles are well resolved. All models fit the observations well and predict consistent size-mass relations. Using an analytical argument, we explain why processes that cause gas disc truncation - such as ram-pressure stripping - scarcely affect the H i size-mass relation. This is tested with the IllustrisTNG(100) cosmological, hydrodynamic simulation and the Dark Sage semi-analytic model of galaxy formation, both of which capture radially resolved disc structure. For galaxies with $m_* \ge 10^9\, {\rm M}_{\odot }$ and $m_{\rm H\, {\small {I}}} \ge 10^8\, {\rm M}_{\odot }$, both simulations predict H i size-mass relations that align with observations, show no difference between central and satellite galaxies, and show only a minor, second-order dependence on host halo mass for satellites. Ultimately, the universally tight H i size-mass relation is mathematically inevitable and robust. Only by completely disrupting the structure of H i discs, e.g. through overly powerful feedback, could a simulation predict the relation poorly.
