Delayed Recombination and Cosmic Parameters

摘要:

目前的宇宙学约束来自宇宙微波背景(CMB)的各向异性通常是假设一个标准的复合方案,但额外的共振和电离辐射源可以延迟复合,改变宇宙电离的历史和宇宙学推论从CMB数据。我们表明,最近的观测CMB各向异性,从威尔金森微波各向异性探测器卫星任务5年调查(WMAP 5)和ACBAR实验,额外的共振辐射几乎退化的光谱指数,n_s的变化,并有显着的影响,对哈勃常数,宇宙年龄,曲率和中微子质量的上限约束的不确定性。当考虑修改的重组方案时,重组的红移被约束为z_*=1078 \pm 11,测量中的不确定性比标准重组假设下获得的不确定性弱一个数量级,而对移位参数的约束被移位1-sigma,R=1.734 \pm 0.028。虽然延迟重组限制了从WMAP卫星参数估计的精度,我们证明,这不应该是未来的情况下,更小的角度尺度的测量,如普朗克卫星任务。

英文摘要:

Current cosmological constraints from Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies are typically derived assuming a standard recombination scheme, however additional resonance and ionizing radiation sources can delay recombination, altering the cosmic ionization history and the cosmological inferences drawn from CMB data. We show that for recent observations of CMB anisotropy, from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe satellite mission 5-year survey (WMAP5) and from the ACBAR experiment, additional resonance radiation is nearly degenerate with variations in the spectral index, n_s, and has a marked effect on uncertainties in constraints on the Hubble constant, age of the universe, curvature and the upper bound on the neutrino mass. When a modified recombination scheme is considered, the redshift of recombination is constrained to z_*=1078\pm11, with uncertainties in the measurement weaker by one order of magnitude than those obtained under the assumption of standard recombination while constraints on the shift parameter are shifted by 1-sigma to R=1.734\pm0.028. Although delayed recombination limits the precision of parameter estimation from the WMAP satellite, we demonstrate that this should not be the case for future, smaller angular scales measurements, such as those by the Planck satellite mission.
