强透镜统计对星系演化模型约束的有效性

Validity of strong lensing statistics for constraints on the galaxy evolution model

Akiko Matsumoto, Toshifumi Futamase

摘要:

我们研究的有用性强透镜统计约束的透镜星系的数量密度的演变,通过采用最近的WMAP观测确定的宇宙学参数的值。为此,我们采用Kochanek(1992)提出的透镜-红移检验,并对两种演化模型中的参数进行约束,即以幂律指数$nu_{n}$和$ν_{v}$表征的简单幂律模型和Mitchell等人(2005)基于CDM结构形成情景的演化模型。我们使用斯隆数字巡天(SDSS)的定义明确的镜头样本,这是在以前的研究中使用的类似大小的样本。此外,我们采用了基于SDSS DR 1和DR 5的早型星系速度色散函数。结果表明,幂律模型的指数与前人的研究结果一致,表明早型星系的数量和速度弥散度在z = 1附近有温和的演化。然而,我们发现Mitchell等人使用的p和q值与目前可用的观测数据不一致。需要更完整的样本来对这些参数进行更真实的测定。

英文摘要:

We examine the usefulness of the strong lensing statistics to constrain the evolution of the number density of lensing galaxies by adopting the values of the cosmological parameters determined by recent WMAP observation. For this purpose, we employ the lens-redshift test proposed by Kochanek (1992) and constrain the parameters in two evolution models, simple power-law model characterized by the power law indexes $nu_{n}$ and $ν_{v}$ and the evolution model by Mitchell et al. (2005) based on CDM structure formation scenario. We use the well-defined lens sample from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and this is similarly sized samples used in the previous studies. Furthermore, we adopt the velocity dispersion function of early-type galaxies based on SDSS DR1 and DR5. It turns out that the indexes of power-law model are consistent with the previous studies, thus our results indicate the mild evolution in the number and velocity dispersion of early-type galaxies out to z = 1. However we found that the values for p and q used by Mitchell et al. are inconsistent with the presently available observational data. More complete sample is necessary to withdraw more realistic determination on these parameters.
