红蓝星系的关联律:一种新的宇宙标尺

Correlation Lengths of Red and Blue Galaxies: A New Cosmic Ruler

Michael J. Longo

摘要:

比较红星系与蓝星系的相关长度可以提供一个新的宇宙标尺。使用269,000星系从SDSS DR 6调查,我表明,三维相关长度平均在许多集群保持非常接近恒定的Lo=4.797+/-0.024 Mpc/h从小的红移到0.5的红移。这是宇宙长度尺度的一种新测量方法,也是检验几乎没有选择偏差的标准宇宙学模型的一种手段。在这个红移范围内,星系团的数量密度似乎也保持不变。

英文摘要:

A comparison of the correlation lengths of red galaxies with blue can provide a new cosmic ruler. Using 269,000 galaxies from the SDSS DR6 survey, I show that the 3D correlation length averaged over many clusters remains very nearly constant at Lo=4.797+/-0.024 Mpc/h from small redshifts out to redshifts of 0.5. This serves as a new measure of cosmic length scales as well as a means of testing the standard cosmological model that is almost free of selection biases. The cluster number density also appears to remain constant over this redshift range.
