超高能天空中尺度团簇的天体物理解释

Astrophysical interpretation of the medium scale clustering in the ultra-high energy sky

A. Cuoco, G. Miele, P. D. Serpico

摘要:

我们比较了AGASA、HiRes、Yakutsk和Sugar合作报告的超高能宇宙射线事件的组合数据集与本地宇宙星系目录(红移z<~0.06)的聚类特性。我们发现,数据再现特别好的集群附近的宇宙在z <~0.02的属性。数据和结构之间没有统计上显著的互相关,尽管有趣的是,使用具有较小视界的目录,名义互相关机会概率从~50%下降到~10%。此外,我们还讨论了一些文献中使用的银河系磁场模型的偏转结果的鲁棒性的影响。这些结果表明,磁场(可能是河外的,太)和/或可能在UHECR的一些重核分数的相关作用。这些提示俄歇数据的确认的重要性被强调。

英文摘要:

We compare the clustering properties of the combined dataset of ultra-high energy cosmic rays events, reported by the AGASA, HiRes, Yakutsk and Sugar collaborations, with a catalogue of galaxies of the local universe (redshift z<~0.06). We find that the data reproduce particularly well the clustering properties of the nearby universe within z <~0.02. There is no statistically significant cross-correlation between data and structures, although intriguingly the nominal cross-correlation chance probability drops from ~50% to ~10% using the catalogue with a smaller horizon. Also, we discuss the impact on the robustness of the results of deflections in some galactic magnetic field models used in the literature. These results suggest a relevant role of magnetic fields (possibly extragalactic ones, too) and/or possibly some heavy nuclei fraction in the UHECRs. The importance of a confirmation of these hints by Auger data is emphasized.
