利用大尺度类星体成团限制平坦的典型宇宙

Using the large scale quasar clustering to constrain flat quintessential universes

Ariel Zandivarez, Hector J. Martinez

摘要:

我们寻找描述可观测宇宙的最合适的宇宙学参数集。该搜索包括典型平坦宇宙的可能性,即,分析仅限于确定无量纲物质密度和典型参数,分别为$Ω_{\rm M}$和$w_{\rm Q}$。通过分析类星体两点关联函数的演化,比较了不同红移下密度涨落场中大尺度特征的位置。我们跟踪密度场波动在大尺度上使用一个大的和均匀的样本的类星体($\sim$ 38000对象与0.3 $\lesssim$ z $\le$ 2.4和中位数$z=1.45$)从斯隆数字巡天数据发布六。分析依赖于这样的假设,即在线性区域中,对于适当的宇宙学模型,特定特征的长度尺度在宇宙的不同时间应该保持固定。我们的研究并没有假设任何特定的共动长度尺度,在该尺度上应该找到一个特征,而是打算对广泛的尺度进行比较。这是通过使用互相关技术在不同时间量化类星体关联函数之间的重叠量来完成的。最有可能的宇宙学模型是$Ω_{\rm M}=0.21\pm 0.02$和$w_{\rm Q}=-0.93\pm0.04$,与以前的研究一致。这些限制是一个很好的整体协议的相关函数在不同的红移尺度$\sim 100-300\mpc$的结果。在平坦宇宙学模型的假设下,我们的结果表明,我们生活在一个低密度宇宙中,其典型参数大于对应于宇宙学常数的参数。

英文摘要:

We search for the most suitable set of cosmological parameters that describes the observable universe. The search includes the possibility of quintessential flat universes, i.e., the analysis is restricted to the determination of the dimensionless matter density and the quintessential parameters, $Ω_{\rm M}$ and $w_{\rm Q}$, respectively. Our study is focused on comparing the position of features at large scales in the density fluctuation field at different redshifts by analysing the evolution of the quasar two-point correlation function. We trace the density field fluctuations at large scales using a large and homogeneous sample of quasars ($\sim$ 38000 objects with 0.3 $\lesssim$ z $\le$ 2.4 and a median $z=1.45$) drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release Six. The analysis relies on the assumption that, in the linear regime, the length scale of a particular feature should remain fixed at different times of the universe for the proper cosmological model. Our study does not assume any particular comoving length scale at which a feature should be found, but intends to perform a comparison for a wide range of scales instead. This is done by quantifying the amount of overlap among the quasar correlation functions at different times using a cross-correlation technique. The most likely cosmological model is $Ω_{\rm M}=0.21\pm 0.02$ and $w_{\rm Q}=-0.93\pm0.04$, in agreement with previous studies. These constraints are the result of a good overall agreement of the correlation function at different redshifts over scales $\sim 100-300\mpc$. Under the assumption of a flat cosmological model, our results indicate that we are living in a low density universe with a quintessential parameter greater than the one corresponding to a cosmological constant.
