摘要:

本文给出了SDSS DR 6和DR 7中亮红星系光谱样本的三点函数Q_3和Q_3= Q_3/Q_2^2。我们发现在55-125 Mpc/h的尺度上,$Q_3$有一个强的(S/N $>$ 6)探测,在所有的Q_2、Q_3和Q_2中都有一个在105 Mpc/h附近的明确的峰值,与预测的重子声学振荡(BAO)印记的形状和位置非常一致.我们使用非常大的模拟来评估和测试我们测量的重要性。$Q_3$数据排除了无BAO峰的模型,置信度为99%。我们的测量结果表明,预期的形状Q_3作为三角形配置的函数。这提供了第一个直接测量的非线性模式耦合系数的密度和速度波动,在这些大尺度上,是独立的宇宙时间,波动的幅度或宇宙学参数。BAO峰在数据中的位置表明,在光谱指数(n_s=0.8-1.2)线性b_1和二次c_2偏置下边缘化后,Ω_m =0.28 \pm 0.05和Ω_B=0.079 \pm 0.025(h=0.70),发现它们在b_1=1.7-2.2和c_2=0.75-3.55的范围内。数据允许从原始的非高斯的范围Q_3=0.55-3.35的层次贡献。这些约束条件是独立的,并补充的,可以得到使用2点函数,这是在一个单独的文件。这是第一次检测到的形状$Q_3$的BAO尺度,但我们的错误是散粒噪声为主,SDSS的体积仍然相对较小,所以有足够的空间,在这种类型的测量未来的改进。

英文摘要:

We present the 3-point function ξ_3 and Q_3=ξ_3/ξ_2^2 for a spectroscopic sample of luminous red galaxies (LRG) from SDSS DR6 & DR7. We find a strong (S/N$>$6) detection of $Q_3$ on scales of 55-125 Mpc/h, with a well defined peak around 105 Mpc/h in all ξ_2, ξ_3 and Q_3, in excellent agreement with the predicted shape and location of the imprint of the baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO). We use very large simulations to asses and test the significance of our measurement. Models without the BAO peak are ruled out by the $Q_3$ data with 99% confidence. Our measurements show the expected shape for Q_3 as a function of the triangular configuration. This provides a first direct measurement of the non-linear mode coupling coefficients of density and velocity fluctuations which, on these large scales, are independent of cosmic time, the amplitude of fluctuations or cosmological parameters. The location of the BAO peak in the data indicates Ω_m =0.28 \pm 0.05 and Ω_B=0.079 \pm 0.025 (h=0.70) after marginalization over spectral index (n_s=0.8-1.2) linear b_1 and quadratic c_2 bias,which are found to be in the range: b_1=1.7-2.2 and c_2=0.75-3.55. The data allows a hierarchical contribution from primordial non-Gaussianities in the range Q_3=0.55-3.35. These constraints are independent and complementary to the ones that can be obtained using the 2-point function, which are presented in a separate paper. This is the first detection of the shape of $Q_3$ on BAO scales, but our errors are shot-noise dominated and the SDSS volume is still relatively small, so there is ample room for future improvement in this type of measurements.
