摘要:

钱德拉观测大样本的星系团探测X射线的ROSAT提供了一个新的,强大的确定集群质量函数在低和高的红移。统计和系统误差现在足够小,和红移杠杆足够大的质量函数演化被用作一个有用的增长的结构为基础的暗能量探针。本文给出了由Chandra观测得到的宇宙学参数约束,其中包括<z>400 ° ^2 ROSAT偶然巡天中得到的36个z =0.55的星系团和全天巡天中发现的49个z=~0.05的最亮星系团。这些红移之间的质量函数的演化要求Omega_Lambda&gt;0,具有~ 5 sigma的显著性,并将暗能量状态方程参数限制为w 0 =-1.14+-0.21,假设宇宙是平坦的。当与其他方法结合使用时,聚类信息还可以显著改善约束。将我们的星团数据与最新的超新星、WMAP和重子声学振荡测量数据相结合,我们得到w 0 =-0.991+-0.045(stat)+-0.039(sys),与没有星团的约束条件相比,统计不确定性降低了1.5倍,系统学改善了近2倍。这四个数据集的联合分析对轻中微子的质量提出了一个保守的上限,在95%CL下,Sum m_nu&lt;0.33 eV。我们还根据低红移星系团质量函数对Omega_M*h和sigma_8进行了更新测量。

英文摘要:

Chandra observations of large samples of galaxy clusters detected in X-rays by ROSAT provide a new, robust determination of the cluster mass functions at low and high redshifts. Statistical and systematic errors are now sufficiently small, and the redshift leverage sufficiently large for the mass function evolution to be used as a useful growth of structure based dark energy probe. In this paper, we present cosmological parameter constraints obtained from Chandra observations of 36 clusters with <z>=0.55 derived from 400deg^2 ROSAT serendipitous survey and 49 brightest z=~0.05 clusters detected in the All-Sky Survey. Evolution of the mass function between these redshifts requires Omega_Lambda>0 with a ~5sigma significance, and constrains the dark energy equation of state parameter to w0=-1.14+-0.21, assuming constant w and flat universe. Cluster information also significantly improves constraints when combined with other methods. Fitting our cluster data jointly with the latest supernovae, WMAP, and baryonic acoustic oscillations measurements, we obtain w0=-0.991+-0.045 (stat) +-0.039 (sys), a factor of 1.5 reduction in statistical uncertainties, and nearly a factor of 2 improvement in systematics compared to constraints that can be obtained without clusters. The joint analysis of these four datasets puts a conservative upper limit on the masses of light neutrinos, Sum m_nu<0.33 eV at 95% CL. We also present updated measurements of Omega_M*h and sigma_8 from the low-redshift cluster mass function.
