星系团子结构的详细暗物质图和模拟的直接比较

Detailed dark matter maps of galaxy cluster substructure and direct comparison to simulations

Dan Coe

摘要:

下一代望远镜拍摄的图像将利用强引力透镜分析,对星系团核心的暗物质分布进行惊人的详细重建。这将为Lambda CDM宇宙学在目前存在紧张局势的星系团尺度上提供一个关键测试。观测到的暗物质分布将直接与模拟中实现的分布进行比较,放弃任何关于光跟踪质量的假设。所需的观测是深度、深度和高分辨率的,最好补充微弱天体的光谱。机载ACS HST能够获得足够质量的图像,但集成时间太长。下一代望远镜有望有效地产生所需的图像。已经开发了一种能够处理预期的大量多个图像的分析方法(见下文)。分析这些详细的质量图可能产生的各种限制是一个正在进行的调查问题。

英文摘要:

Images from the next generation of telescopes will enable strikingly detailed reconstruction of the dark matter distributions in galaxy cluster cores using strong gravitational lensing analysis. This will provide a key test of Lambda-CDM cosmology on cluster scales where tensions currently exist. Observed dark matter distributions will be compared directly to those realized in simulations, forgoing any assumptions about light tracing mass. The required observations are deep, multicolor, and high-resolution, ideally supplemented with spectra of faint objects. ACS onboard HST is capable of obtaining images of sufficient quality, but for prohibitive integration times. The next generation of telescopes promises to efficiently yield the required images. An analysis method capable of processing the expected large numbers of multiple images has been developed (see below). The full range of constraints possible from analyzing these detailed mass maps is a matter of ongoing investigation.
