摘要:

星系功率谱中100- 150 Mpc/h尺度的重子声学振荡(BAO)或重子摆动是制约宇宙学的重要特征。这些探测器的潜力是如此之大,以至于它们现在被列为未来几次星系巡天计划的主要科学目标。然而,在文献中没有唯一定义的BAO方法,而是一系列实现。我们研究了三种不同的BAO方法的假设和宇宙学性能:全傅立叶空间功率谱[P(k)],傅立叶空间中的“摆动”和球谐功率谱[C(l)]。我们对比了每种方法的力量,以约束宇宙学的两个基准调查采取的暗能量工作组(DETF)的报告,相当于未来的地面和空间为基础的光谱调查。我们发现,根据所使用的假设,暗能量品质因数(FoM)可以改变高达35倍的基准模型和调查。我们比较我们的结果与DETF实现,并讨论每个探头的鲁棒性,通过量化的依赖FoM与波数范围。方法使用的信息越多,其统计性能越高,但对系统和实现细节的敏感性也越高。

英文摘要:

The Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAOs) or baryon wiggles which are present in the galaxy power spectrum at scales 100-150Mpc/h are powerful features with which to constrain cosmology. The potential of these probes is such that these are now included as primary science goals in the planning of several future galaxy surveys. However, there is not a uniquely defined BAO Method in the literature but a range of implementations. We study the assumptions and cosmological performances of three different BAO methods: the full Fourier space power spectrum [P(k)], the `wiggles only' in Fourier space and the spherical harmonics power spectrum [C(l)]. We contrast the power of each method to constrain cosmology for two fiducial surveys taken from the Dark Energy Task Force (DETF) report and equivalent to future ground and space based spectroscopic surveys. We find that, depending on the assumptions used, the dark energy Figure of Merit (FoM) can change by up to a factor of 35 for a given fiducial model and survey. We compare our results with the DETF implementation and, discuss the robustness of each probe, by quantifying the dependence of the FoM with the wavenumber range. The more information used by a method, the higher its statistical performance, but the higher its sensitivity to systematics and implementations details.
