有证据表明存在哈勃气泡吗?Ia型超新星的颜色和外星系尘埃的性质

Is there Evidence for a Hubble bubble? The Nature of Type Ia Supernova Colors and Dust in External Galaxies

摘要:

我们研究了最近的证据从光度红移关系的Ia型超新星(SNe Ia)的$\sim 3 σ$检测的“哈勃气泡”-一个偏离的哈勃常数的本地值从其全球平均值\citep{Jha:07}。通过将该研究中使用的MLCS 2k 2拟合与应用于相同数据的其他光变曲线拟合器的结果进行比较,我们证明了这与SN颜色过度的解释(在光变曲线形状-颜色关系校正后)以及局部样本中颜色梯度的存在有关。如果SN颜色过量和亮度之间的线性关系($β$)的斜率经验地拟合,则气泡消失。另一方面,如果颜色过剩纯粹来自银河系般的尘埃,那么SN数据显然倾向于哈勃气泡。我们证明,SN数据给出了$β\simeq 2$,而不是$β\simeq 4$,人们会期望从纯粹的牛奶路一样的灰尘。这表明,要么SN的固有颜色比用单一的光变曲线形状参数描述的更复杂,要么SN周围的尘埃是不寻常的。解开这些可能性对大规模超新星宇宙学来说既是挑战也是机遇。

英文摘要:

We examine recent evidence from the luminosity-redshift relation of Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) for the $\sim 3 σ$ detection of a ``Hubble bubble'' -- a departure of the local value of the Hubble constant from its globally averaged value \citep{Jha:07}. By comparing the MLCS2k2 fits used in that study to the results from other light-curve fitters applied to the same data, we demonstrate that this is related to the interpretation of SN color excesses (after correction for a light-curve shape-color relation) and the presence of a color gradient across the local sample. If the slope of the linear relation ($β$) between SN color excess and luminosity is fit empirically, then the bubble disappears. If, on the other hand, the color excess arises purely from Milky Way-like dust, then SN data clearly favors a Hubble bubble. We demonstrate that SN data give $β\simeq 2$, instead of the $β\simeq 4$ one would expect from purely Milky-Way-like dust. This suggests that either SN intrinsic colors are more complicated than can be described with a single light-curve shape parameter, or that dust around SN is unusual. Disentangling these possibilities is both a challenge and an opportunity for large-survey SN Ia cosmology.
