C. Fedeli, M. Bartelmann, M. Meneghetti, L. Moscardini

摘要:

我们使用半解析模型的星系团人口和其强大的透镜效应,探讨如何在天空中的大引力弧的预期丰度取决于$σ_8$。我们的模型考虑到所有的影响,已被证明会影响强大的集群透镜显着,特别是集群的不对称性,子结构,合并,并在中心密度浓度的变化。我们发现,长而薄的弧的光学深度增加了约一个数量级时,$σ_8$从0.7增加到0.9,由于建设性的几种效果的组合。具有高$σ_8$的模型在产生中等和高红移的电弧方面也有几个数量级的效率。最后,我们使用现实的源数计数,定量预测弧的总数比几个星等限制在R和I波段。我们确认,虽然$σ_8\sim0.9$可能接近已知的丰富的弧,甚至$σ_8\sim0.8$下跌短的几乎一个数量级在再现已知的计数。我们的结论是,如果$σ_8\sim0.8$被证实,我们将无法理解的强透镜效应的星系团人口,特别是丰富的弧高红移集群。我们认为,早期的暗能量或非高斯密度波动可能表明这个问题的一个出路。

英文摘要:

We use semi-analytic modelling of the galaxy-cluster population and its strong lensing efficiency to explore how the expected abundance of large gravitational arcs on the sky depends on $σ_8$. Our models take all effects into account that have been shown to affect strong cluster lensing substantially, in particular cluster asymmetry, substructure, merging, and variations in the central density concentrations. We show that the optical depth for long and thin arcs increases by approximately one order of magnitude when $σ_8$ increases from 0.7 to 0.9, owing to a constructive combination of several effects. Models with high $σ_8$ are also several orders of magnitude more efficient in producing arcs at intermediate and high redshifts. Finally, we use realistic source number counts to quantitatively predict the total number of arcs brighter than several magnitude limits in the R and I bands. We confirm that, while $σ_8\sim0.9$ may come close to the known abundance of arcs, even $σ_8\sim0.8$ falls short by almost an order of magnitude in reproducing known counts. We conclude that, should $σ_8\sim0.8$ be confirmed, we would fail to understand the strong-lensing efficiency of the galaxy cluster population, and in particular the abundance of arcs in high-redshift clusters. We argue that early-dark energy or non-Gaussian density fluctuations may indicate one way out of this problem.
