摘要:

在具有高斯原始密度涨落场的标准Lambda CDM宇宙学模型中,相对较低的质量方差参数(σ 8 =0.74{+0.05}{-0.06},由WMAP 3年数据得到)导致了在星系团尺度上测量到的CMB各向异性水平是由Sunyaev-Zeldovich(S-Z)效应引起的可能性降低。为了评估产生更高水平的S-Z功率的可行性,我们探索了两种替代模型,预测更高的集群丰度。在第一个模型中,原初密度场具有卡方^[2_1]分布,而在第二个模型中,早期的暗能量成分产生了所期望的更高的星系团丰度。我们进行了必要的详细计算的水平的S-Z功率谱,集团数计数,角2-点关联函数的集团,并比较(在自洽的方式)它们的预测红移分布。我们的研究结果提供了一个足够的基础上,这三个模型的可行性可能会测试未来的高质量的测量。

英文摘要:

In the standard Lambda CDM cosmological model with a Gaussian primordial density fluctuation field, the relatively low value of the mass variance parameter (sigma_8=0.74{+0.05}{-0.06}, obtained from the WMAP 3-year data) results in a reduced likelihood that the measured level of CMB anisotropy on the scales of clusters is due to the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (S-Z) effect. To assess the feasibility of producing higher levels of S-Z power, we explore two alternative models which predict higher cluster abundance. In the first model the primordial density field has a chi^2_1 distribution, whereas in the second an early dark energy component gives rise to the desired higher cluster abundance. We carry out the necessary detailed calculations of the levels of S-Z power spectra, cluster number counts, and angular 2-point correlation function of clusters, and compare (in a self-consistent way) their predicted redshift distributions. Our results provide a sufficient basis upon which the viability of the three models may be tested by future high quality measurements.
