径向BAO尺度和宇宙剪切--非均匀宇宙学的一个新观测

The radial BAO scale and Cosmic Shear, a new observable for Inhomogeneous Cosmologies

Juan Garcia-Bellido, Troels Haugboelle

摘要:

作为遥远超新星变暗的另一种解释,最近有人主张我们生活在宇宙中的一个特殊地方,靠近LTB(Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi)度规所描述的大型球形空洞的中心。在这种情况下,宇宙不再是均匀和各向同性的,而且明显的晚期加速实际上是空间梯度的结果。本文提出了一种新的观测量,归一化的宇宙剪切,写在直接可观测的量,并计算在任意的非均匀宇宙学。这将使未来的调查能够确定我们是否生活在一个同质宇宙中。在本文中,我们还更新了我们以前的观测约束的背景宇宙学的几何措施。我们包括307个Ia型超新星的联合超新星数据集,CMB声学标度和径向重子声学振荡标度的第一次测量。尽管新的数据集明显更具约束性,但LTB模型--尽管空隙略大--在卡方/d.o.f.处仍然与观测结果非常一致。= 307.7/(310-4)=1.005。与本文一起,我们还发布了用于计算模型并将其与观测结果进行比较的更新的easyLTB代码。

英文摘要:

As an alternative explanation of the dimming of distant supernovae it has recently been advocated that we live in a special place in the Universe near the centre of a large spherical void described by a Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) metric. In this scenario, the Universe is no longer homogeneous and isotropic, and the apparent late time acceleration is actually a consequence of spatial gradients. We propose in this paper a new observable, the normalized cosmic shear, written in terms of directly observable quantities, and calculable in arbitrary inhomogeneous cosmologies. This will allow future surveys to determine whether we live in a homogeneous universe or not. In this paper we also update our previous observational constraints from geometrical measures of the background cosmology. We include the Union Supernovae data set of 307 Type Ia supernovae, the CMB acoustic scale and the first measurement of the radial baryon acoustic oscillation scale. Even though the new data sets are significantly more constraining, LTB models -- albeit with slightly larger voids -- are still in excellent agreement with observations, at chi^2/d.o.f. = 307.7/(310-4)=1.005. Together with the paper we also publish the updated easyLTB code used for calculating the models and for comparing them to the observations.
