红、蓝星系相关长度的比较:检验宇宙各向同性的新标准长度

Comparing Correlation Lengths of Red and Blue Galaxies: A New Standard Length for Testing Cosmic Isotropy

Michael J. Longo

摘要:

我介绍了一个简单的经验措施的基础上的红星系与蓝色的相关长度的比较,可以提供一个更准确的和无偏测量的平均大小和数密度的星系团的星系团的平均大小。使用269,000星系从SDSS DR 6调查,我表明,这种三维相关长度,平均在许多集群,保持非常接近恒定的L0= 4.797 +/- 0.024 Mpc/h从小的红移到0.5的红移。这是宇宙长度尺度的一种新的测量方法,并提供了一种测试标准宇宙学模型的方法,该模型几乎没有选择偏差。该技术前所未有的准确性允许对大规模不均匀性进行敏感搜索的可能性。将同样的技术应用于千年模拟星系,我发现它和SDSS星系之间非常吻合。

英文摘要:

I introduce a simple empirical measure of average galaxy cluster sizes based on a comparison of the correlation lengths of red galaxies with blue that can provide a more accurate and bias-free measure of the average size and number density of galaxy clusters. Using 269,000 galaxies from the SDSS DR6 survey, I show that this 3D correlation length, averaged over many clusters, remains very nearly constant at L0= 4.797 +/- 0.024 Mpc/h from small redshifts out to redshifts of 0.5. This serves as a new measure of cosmic length scales and provides a means of testing the standard cosmological model that is almost free of selection biases. The unprecedented accuracy of the technique allows the possibility of sensitive searches for large-scale inhomogeneities. Applying the same technique to the Millennium Simulation galaxies I find very good agreement between it and the SDSS galaxies.
