摘要:

我们研究了使用简单的颜色切割应用到SDSS光学成像进行光度选择的发射线星系到z<1。从SDSS g、r和i带的色切中,我们得到了平均光度红移z=0.32 ± 0.08,z=0.44 ± 0.12和z=0.65 ± 0.21。我们进一步校准我们的高红移选择光谱观测与AAOmega光谱仪上的4米英澳望远镜(AAT),观察约50-200星系候选人在4个不同的领域。仅用1小时的积分时间和~1.6”的视宁度,我们就成功地确定了~65%的目标候选物的红移。计算了样品的角关联函数,得到了低、中、高红移样品的角关联长度分别为r 0 =2.64 h-1 Mpc、r 0 =3.62 h-1 Mpc和r 0 =5.88 h-1 Mpc。将这些结果与预测的暗物质聚类进行比较,我们估计每个样本的偏差参数为b=0.70,b=0.92和b=1.46。我们计算了z~0.6处的2点红移-空间关联函数,发现了一个聚集振幅s 0 =6.4 h-1 Mpc。最后,我们使用我们的光度样本搜索的综合萨克斯-沃尔夫信号的WMAP 5年的数据。我们将我们的三个红移样本与WMAP的W,V,Q和K波段进行交叉相关,发现一个与模型预期相似的正信号的总体趋势。然而,每个信号都相对较弱。结合所有三个星系样本,我们发现WMAP W波段的wTg(<100 ')=0.20+-0.12 microK,显著性为1.7 sigma。

英文摘要:

We investigate the use of simple colour cuts applied to the SDSS optical imaging to perform photometric selections of emission line galaxies out to z<1. From colour-cuts using the SDSS g, r and i bands, we obtain mean photometric redshifts of z=0.32+-0.08, z=0.44+-0.12 and z=0.65+-0.21. We further calibrate our high redshift selection using spectroscopic observations with the AAOmega spectrograph on the 4m Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT), observing ~50-200 galaxy candidates in 4 separate fields. With just 1-hour of integration time and with seeing of ~1.6", we successfully determined redshifts for ~65% of the targeted candidates. We calculate the angular correlation functions of the samples and find correlation lengths of r0=2.64 h-1 Mpc, r0=3.62 h-1 Mpc and r0=5.88 h-1 Mpc for the low, mid and high redshift samples respectively. Comparing these results with predicted dark matter clustering, we estimate the bias parameter for each sample to be b=0.70, b=0.92 and b=1.46. We calculate the 2-point redshift-space correlation function at z~0.6 and find a clustering amplitude of s0=6.4 h-1 Mpc. Finally, we use our photometric sample to search for the Integrated Sachs-Wolfe signal in the WMAP 5yr data. We cross-correlate our three redshift samples with the WMAP W, V, Q and K bands and find an overall trend for a positive signal similar to that expected from models. However, the signal in each is relatively weak. Combining all three galaxy samples we find a signal of wTg(<100')=0.20+-0.12 microK in the WMAP W-band, a significance of 1.7sigma.
