合并恒星形成晕的成团:尘埃发射为高频弧分CMB前景

The clustering of merging star-forming haloes: dust emission as high frequency arcminute CMB foreground

Mattia Righi, Carlos Hernandez-Monteagudo, Rashid Sunyaev

摘要:

未来对CMB各向异性的观测将能够探测角功率谱的高多极区域,对应于几角分的分辨率。合并晕的尘埃排放是影响这种非常小尺度的前景之一。我们估计的贡献CMB角波动的对象是明亮的亚毫米波段,由于激烈的恒星形成合并事件后爆发。我们的方法的基础上的莱西-科尔合并模型和Kennicutt关系,它连接在星系中的恒星形成率与它们的红外光度。我们设置了模型的自由参数,以不超过SCUBA源计数,宇宙中恒星形成率的Madau图和COBE/FIRAS关于亚毫米宇宙背景辐射强度的数据。我们表明,角功率谱所产生的这种恒星形成晕的分布将是未来的CMB实验,如普朗克,ACT和SPT的高频通道中最重要的前景之一。在200<l<3000的角标度范围内,由于红移z~2-6处的多个晕的聚集,相关项占主导地位。泊松波动由于明亮的亚毫米源是更重要的,在较高的l,但由于它们是从明亮的源产生的,这样的贡献可以大大减少,如果明亮的源从天空地图切除。相关项对角功率谱的贡献强烈依赖于紫外光子逃逸分数的红移演化和由此产生的尘埃温度。因此,对这一信号的测量将提供有关星系演化早期阶段的重要信息。

英文摘要:

Future observations of CMB anisotropies will be able to probe high multipole regions of the angular power spectrum, corresponding to a resolution of a few arcminutes. Dust emission from merging haloes is one of the foregrounds that will affect such very small scales. We estimate the contribution to CMB angular fluctuations from objects that are bright in the sub-millimeter band due to intense star formation bursts following merging episodes. We base our approach on the Lacey-Cole merger model and on the Kennicutt relation which connects the star formation rate in galaxies with their infrared luminosity. We set the free parameters of the model in order to not exceed the SCUBA source counts, the Madau plot of star formation rate in the universe and COBE/FIRAS data on the intensity of the sub-millimeter cosmic background radiation. We show that the angular power spectrum arising from the distribution of such star-forming haloes will be one of the most significant foregrounds in the high frequency channels of future CMB experiments, such as PLANCK, ACT and SPT. The correlation term, due to the clustering of multiple haloes at redshift z~2-6, is dominant in the broad range of angular scales 200<l<3000. Poisson fluctuations due to bright sub-millimeter sources are more important at higher l, but since they are generated from the bright sources, such contribution could be strongly reduced if bright sources are excised from the sky maps. The contribution of the correlation term to the angular power spectrum depends strongly on the redshift evolution of the escape fraction of UV photons and the resulting temperature of the dust. The measurement of this signal will therefore give important information about galaxies in the early stage of their evolution.
