动态精粹宇宙学中的宇宙再电离

Cosmic reionization in a dynamic quintessence cosmology

D. Crociani, M. Viel, L. Moscardini, M. Bartelmann, M. Meneghetti

摘要:

在本文中,我们调查的影响,一个动态的暗能量成分占主导地位的宇宙在晚时代的再电离。我们使用Furlanetto和Oh(2005)的分析方法在两个不同的宇宙中跟踪HII区域的演化,我们假设Peebles和Ratra(2003)以及Brax和Martin(2000)的精髓模型,并将我们的结果与LCDM情景进行比较。我们表明,对于一个固定的电离效率,在同一宇宙学时代的气泡的拓扑结构是由高质量的对象和电离区域的特征尺寸略小于在LCDM模型,特别是在最新阶段的再电离,由于更高的重组效率。因此,气泡的“重叠时期”发生早于LCDM。最后,我们展示了HII区域的不同演化如何影响高Z类星体光谱的透射,减少在小光学深度处的莱曼通量吸收。

英文摘要:

In this paper we investigate the effects that a dynamic dark energy component dominant in the universe at late epochs has on reionization. We follow the evolution of HII regions with the analytic approach of Furlanetto and Oh (2005) in two different universes for which we assume the Peebles and Ratra (2003) and Brax and Martin (2000) quintessence models and we compare our results to the LCDM scenario. We show that, for a fixed ionization efficiency, at the same cosmological epoch the topology of bubbles is dominated by high-mass objects and the characteristic size of the ionized regions is slightly smaller than in the LCDM model, especially at the latest stages of reionization, due to the higher recombination efficiency. As a consequence, the bubbles' `epoch of overlap' happens earlier than in LCDM. Finally, we show how the different evolution of the HII regions affects the transmission of the high-z QSO spectra, reducing the Lyman flux absorption at small optical depths.
