星系和星系团尺度上的暗能量探测

Probing Dark Energy at Galactic and Cluster Scales

David F. Mota

摘要:

我们研究了暗物质晕的性质随时变暗能量状态方程的变化。晕的坍缩动力学受精粹势的形式、状态方程的时间演化、场的初始条件及其在高度非线性区域中的均匀性性质的控制。这些对转变、维里化和塌缩时间有直接影响,从而改变非线性密度对比度和维里半径。我们计算晕浓度使用埃克,纳瓦罗和斯坦梅茨算法,检查两个极端的情况下:首先,我们假设的quintessence字段不表现出波动的集群规模和低于均匀的流体;第二,我们假设,该字段内的过密崩溃随着暗物质不均匀的流体。Eke,Navarro和Steinmetz的处方显示,一般来说,在非均匀暗能量模型中的晕浓度高于均匀模型。晕的浓度似乎是由两个形成时代的晕核的变化,以及由不同的virialisation overdensity控制。我们推导出所有模型中的物理晕性质,并讨论了它们的观测意义。我们研究两种可能的方法比较观测与理论预测。第一种方法适用于星系团尺度,包括拟合观测到的X射线团簇气体密度分布预测的NFW配置文件。第二种方法适用于星系尺度,涉及对所谓的中心密度参数的观测测量。

英文摘要:

We investigate dark matter halo properties as a function of a time--varying dark energy equation of state. The dynamics of the collapse of the halo is governed by the form of the quintessence potential, the time evolution of its equation of state, the initial conditions of the field and its homogeneity nature in the highly non--linear regime. These have a direct impact on the turnaround, virialisation and collapse times, altering in consequence the non--linear density contrast and virial radius. We compute halo concentrations using the Eke, Navarro & Steinmetz algorithm, examining two extreme scenarios: first, we assume that the quintessence field does not exhibit fluctuations on cluster scales and below - homogeneous fluid; second, we assume that the field inside the overdensity collapses along with the dark matter - inhomogeneous fluid. The Eke, Navarro & Steinmetz prescription reveals, in general, higher halo concentrations in inhomogeneous dark energy models than in their homogeneous equivalents. Halo concentrations appear to be controlled by both changes in formation epochs of the halo cores as well as by differing virialisation overdensities. We derive physical halo properties in all models and discuss their observational implications. We examine two possible methods for comparing observations with theoretical predictions. The first method works on galaxy cluster scales and consists of fitting the observed X-ray cluster gas density distributions to those predicted for an NFW profile. The second method works on galaxy scales and involves the observational measurement of the so--called central density parameter.
