LambdaCDM宇宙中Ly-alpha发射体的成团

The clustering of Ly-alpha emitters in a LambdaCDM Universe

A. Orsi, C. G. Lacey, C. M. Baugh, L. Infante

摘要:

我们结合了一个半解析模型的星系形成一个非常大的模拟,遵循的大尺度结构在LambdaCDM宇宙的增长预测的Ly-alpha发射器的集群。我们发现Ly-alpha发光体的团簇强度对Ly-alpha亮度的依赖性很弱,但对红移的依赖性很强。随着红移的增加,Ly-alpha发射体逐渐追踪到宇宙中更稀少、密度更高的区域。由于模拟的体积很大,比以前用于此应用的任何模拟都大100倍以上,我们可以构建Ly-alpha发射体的模拟目录,并研究当前和即将进行的调查的样本方差。我们发现模拟目录中Ly-alpha发射体的数量和聚集与当前调查的测量结果一致,但这些数量存在相当大的分散。我们认为,在z=8.8的发射器的建议调查应在立体角显着扩展,以允许一个强大的测量Ly-alpha发射器集群。

英文摘要:

We combine a semi-analytical model of galaxy formation with a very large simulation which follows the growth of large scale structure in a LambdaCDM universe to predict the clustering of Ly-alpha emitters. We find that the clustering strength of Ly-alpha emitters has only a weak dependence on Ly-alpha luminosity but a strong dependence on redshift. With increasing redshift, Ly-alpha emitters trace progressively rarer, higher density regions of the universe. Due to the large volume of the simulation, over 100 times bigger than any previously used for this application, we can construct mock catalogues of Ly-alpha emitters and study the sample variance of current and forthcoming surveys. We find that the number and clustering of Ly-alpha emitters in our mock catalogues are in agreement with measurements from current surveys, but that there is a considerable scatter in these quantities. We argue that a proposed survey of emitters at z=8.8 should be extended significantly in solid angle to allow a robust measurement of Ly-alpha emitter clustering.
