摘要:

WiggleZ暗能量巡天是一个对中等红移紫外选择发射线星系的大尺度结构巡天,计划覆盖1000平方度,跨越宽的红移范围0.2 < z < 1.0。该调查的主要科学目标是测量星系团模式中的重子声学振荡(BAO),其红移明显高于以往的研究。BAO可以作为一个标准的宇宙学标尺来约束暗能量模型。基于数据集的前20%,我们提出了关于WiggleZ目标的小规模聚类的初步结果,以及调查预测。WiggleZ星系群的聚类长度r_0 = 4.40 +/- 0.12 Mpc/h,明显大于z=0的紫外选择样本,斜率gamma = 1.92 +/- 0.08。该聚类长度与z=3的Lyman Break Galvanism相当,具有相似的UV光度。计划于2010年完成的全面巡天将绘制有效体积V_eff ~ 1 Gpc ^[3](在尺度k = 0.15 h/Mpc下进行评估),并将测量角直径距离和三个红移箱中的哈勃膨胀率,精度约为5%。我们将确定一个恒定的暗能量状态方程参数w的值,其精度高于使用完全独立的技术进行的现有超新星观测。WiggleZ和超新星的测量位于w和物质密度Ω_m平面上高度互补的方向上。使用WiggleZ、超新星和CMB数据集的完全组合的预测是边缘化误差σ(w)= 0.07,提供了对暗能量的性质的稳健和精确的测量,包括对系统误差的交叉检查。

英文摘要:

The WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey is a large-scale structure survey of intermediate-redshift UV-selected emission-line galaxies scheduled to cover 1000 sq deg, spanning a broad redshift range 0.2 < z < 1.0. The main scientific goal of the survey is the measurement of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the galaxy clustering pattern at a significantly higher redshift than previous studies. The BAO may be applied as a standard cosmological ruler to constrain dark energy models. Based on the first 20% of the dataset, we present initial results concerning the small-scale clustering of the WiggleZ targets, together with survey forecasts. The WiggleZ galaxy population possesses a clustering length r_0 = 4.40 +/- 0.12 Mpc/h, which is significantly larger than z=0 UV-selected samples, with a slope gamma = 1.92 +/- 0.08. This clustering length is comparable to z=3 Lyman Break Galaxies with similar UV luminosities. The full survey, scheduled for completion in 2010, will map an effective volume V_eff ~ 1 Gpc^3 (evaluated at a scale k = 0.15 h/Mpc) and will measure the angular-diameter distance and Hubble expansion rates in three redshift bins with accuracies ~ 5%. We will determine the value of a constant dark energy equation-of-state parameter, w, with a higher precision than existing supernovae observations using an entirely independent technique. The WiggleZ and supernovae measurements lie in highly complementary directions in the plane of w and the matter density Omega_m. The forecast using the full combination of WiggleZ, supernovae and CMB datasets is a marginalized error sigma(w) = 0.07, providing a robust and precise measurement of the properties of dark energy including cross-checking of systematic errors.
