发光红星系团IV:视线方向重子声学峰和H(z)的直接测量

Clustering of Luminous Red Galaxies IV: Baryon Acoustic Peak in the Line-of-Sight Direction and a Direct Measurement of H(z)

Enrique Gaztanaga, Anna Cabre, Lam Hui

摘要:

我们在最新的SDSS光谱数据DR 6和DR 7中研究了LRG星系的成团,它们的采样率超过1 Gpc^3/h^3,z=0.47。2点相关函数$\xisp$被估计为垂直$σ$和视线$π$(径向)方向的函数。我们发现在$r\simeq 110$ Mpc/h处显著检测到峰,其在$σ-π$平面中显示为圆环。也有重要的证据表明,沿径向方向的峰值,其形状是一致的,其起源于复合时期的重子声振荡(BAO)。没有径向BAO峰的$\xisp$模型在$3.2σ$中不受欢迎,而没有放大偏倚的模型在$2σ$中不受欢迎。径向数据使第一次直接测量哈勃参数$H(z)$作为红移的函数。这是独立于较早的BAO测量,其中使用球平均的(ESTA)的相关性,以约束积分的$H(z)$。使用BAO峰位置作为径向方向上的标准标尺,我们发现:对于z=0.15-0.30,$H(z=0.24)= 79.69 \pm 2.32 (\pm 1.29)$ km/s/Mpc;对于$z=0.40-0.47$,$H(z=0.43)= 86.45 \pm 3.27 (\pm 1.69)$ km/s/Mpc。第一个误差是模型独立的统计估计,第二个误差是测量和模型中的系统性误差。对于完整样本$z=0.15-0.47$,我们发现$H(z=0.34)= 83.80 \pm 2.96 (\pm 1.59)$ km/s/Mpc。

英文摘要:

We study the clustering of LRG galaxies in the latest spectroscopic SDSS data releases, DR6 and DR7, which sample over 1 Gpc^3/h^3 to z=0.47. The 2-point correlation function $\xisp$ is estimated as a function of perpendicular $σ$ and line-of-sight $π$ (radial) directions. We find a significant detection of a peak at $r\simeq 110$Mpc/h, which shows as a circular ring in the $σ-π$ plane. There is also significant evidence for a peak along the radial direction whose shape is consistent with its originating from the recombination-epoch baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO). A $\xisp$ model with no radial BAO peak is disfavored at $3.2σ$, whereas a model with no magnification bias is disfavored at $2σ$. The radial data enable, for the first time, a direct measurement of the Hubble parameter $H(z)$ as a function of redshift. This is independent from earlier BAO measurements which used the spherically averaged (monopole) correlation to constrain an integral of $H(z)$. Using the BAO peak position as a standard ruler in the radial direction, we find: $H(z=0.24)= 79.69 \pm 2.32 (\pm 1.29)$ km/s/Mpc for z=0.15-0.30 and $H(z=0.43)= 86.45 \pm 3.27 (\pm 1.69)$ km/s/Mpc for $z=0.40-0.47$. The first error is a model independent statistical estimation and the second accounts for systematics both in the measurements and in the model. For the full sample, $z=0.15-0.47$, we find $H(z=0.34)= 83.80 \pm 2.96 (\pm 1.59)$ km/s/Mpc.
