摘要:

针对宇宙微波背景辐射的引力透镜效应,利用大尺度宇宙学千禧年模拟(MS),构造了第一张全天空的引力透镜势图和偏转角图,目标是适当地包含小尺度非线性和非高斯性。利用玻恩近似,我们实现了一个地图制作过程的基础上直接射线追踪通过引力势的MS。我们堆叠的模拟盒在红移壳高达$z\sim 11$,产生连续的全天空地图与弧分角分辨率。随机化方案避免了沿着视线的结构的重复,并且添加大于MS盒尺寸的结构以将大尺度(LS)结构的缺失贡献提供给透镜化信号。投影透镜势的角功率谱和偏转角模量在几个弧分的尺度上与半解析估计相当吻合,而我们发现在小尺度上的功率略有过剩,我们将其解释为MS中的非线性聚类。我们的绘图程序,结合LS添加技术,非常适合于研究CMB各向异性的透镜,用于分析与前景结构的互相关,或其它次级CMB各向异性,例如Rees-Sciama效应。

英文摘要:

We use the large cosmological Millennium Simulation (MS) to construct the first all-sky maps of the lensing potential and the deflection angle, aiming at gravitational lensing of the CMB, with the goal of properly including small-scale non-linearities and non-Gaussianity. Exploiting the Born approximation, we implement a map-making procedure based on direct ray-tracing through the gravitational potential of the MS. We stack the simulation box in redshift shells up to $z\sim 11$, producing continuous all-sky maps with arcminute angular resolution. A randomization scheme avoids repetition of structures along the line of sight and structures larger than the MS box size are added to supply the missing contribution of large-scale (LS) structures to the lensing signal. The angular power spectra of the projected lensing potential and the deflection-angle modulus agree quite well with semi-analytic estimates on scales down to a few arcminutes, while we find a slight excess of power on small scales, which we interpret as being due to non-linear clustering in the MS. Our map-making procedure, combined with the LS adding technique, is ideally suited for studying lensing of CMB anisotropies, for analyzing cross-correlations with foreground structures, or other secondary CMB anisotropies such as the Rees-Sciama effect.
