摘要:

我们利用斯隆数字巡天的46,760个红移为0.16 - 0.47的发光红星系研究了大尺度各向异性两点关联函数。我们测量的关联函数作为一个函数的分离平行和垂直的视线,以考虑在红移空间的大尺度结构的各向异性。我们在各向异性关联函数中发现了一个轻微的重子特征信号,即,对应于球平均关联函数中的重子声峰的“重子脊”,其已经使用相同的样品报道。重子脊主要是一个球形结构,在共动坐标系中有一个已知的半径。它使我们能够将红移失真效应划分为动力学和几何分量,并提供对宇宙学参数(包括暗能量状态方程)的进一步约束。在平坦的$Λ$宇宙学假设下,我们找到了$Ω_{\rm m} = 0.218^{+0.047}_{-0.037}$和$Ω_{\rm b} = 0.047^{+0.016}_{-0.016}$的最佳拟合值(68% C.L.)当我们使用包括重子声学振荡尺度的$40<s<200\himpc$的各向异性关联函数的整体形状时。当采用一个附加的假设$Ω_{\rm b}h^2=0.024$时,我们得到了$Ω_{\rm DE}=0.770^{+0.051}_{-0.040}$和$w=-0.93^{+0.45}_{-0.35}$。这些限制估计只有从我们的数据的各向异性关联函数,他们同意相当不错的值都从宇宙微波背景(CMB)各向异性和其他互补统计使用LRG样本。由于CMB在3年WMAP结果之前,我们对这些参数给出了更强的约束。

英文摘要:

We study the large-scale anisotropic two-point correlation function using 46,760 luminous red galaxies at redshifts 0.16 -- 0.47 from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We measure the correlation function as a function of separations parallel and perpendicular to the line-of-sight in order to take account of anisotropy of the large-scale structure in redshift space. We find a slight signal of baryonic features in the anisotropic correlation function, i.e., a ``baryon ridge'' which corresponds to a baryon acoustic peak in the spherically averaged correlation function which has already been reported using the same sample. The baryon ridge has primarily a spherical structure with a known radius in comoving coordinates. It enables us to divide the redshift distortion effects into dynamical and geometrical components and provides further constraints on cosmological parameters, including the dark energy equation-of-state. With an assumption of a flat $Λ$ cosmology, we find the best-fit values of $Ω_{\rm m} = 0.218^{+0.047}_{-0.037}$ and $Ω_{\rm b} = 0.047^{+0.016}_{-0.016}$ (68% C.L.) when we use the overall shape of the anisotropic correlation function of $40<s<200\himpc$ including a scale of baryon acoustic oscillations. When an additional assumption $Ω_{\rm b}h^2=0.024$ is adopted, we obtain $Ω_{\rm DE}=0.770^{+0.051}_{-0.040}$ and $w=-0.93^{+0.45}_{-0.35}$. These constraints are estimated only from our data of the anisotropic correlation function, and they agree quite well with values both from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies and from other complementary statistics using the LRG sample. With the CMB prior from the 3 year WMAP results, we give stronger constraints on those parameters.
