非均匀宇宙中的通量计算:对通量有限的星系样本进行加权

Flux calculations in an inhomogeneous Universe: weighting a flux-limited galaxy sample

Hylke B. J. Koers, Peter Tinyakov

摘要:

在超高能宇宙射线、甚高能伽马射线或中微子的背景下产生的许多天体物理问题需要计算追踪宇宙中星系分布的源产生的通量。我们讨论了一个简单的加权方案,林登-贝尔在1971年介绍的方法的应用,它允许直接从通量有限的星系目录计算通量天空图,而无需削减体积有限的子样本。使用这个方案,星系分布可以被模拟到大尺度,同时以最大的精度代表附近宇宙的分布。我们认为波动所产生的星系样本的有限性的流量地图。我们将展示如何减少这些波动的加权方案,并讨论如何剩余的波动限制该方法的适用性。

英文摘要:

Many astrophysical problems arising within the context of ultra-high energy cosmic rays, very-high energy gamma rays or neutrinos, require calculation of the flux produced by sources tracing the distribution of galaxies in the Universe. We discuss a simple weighting scheme, an application of the method introduced by Lynden-Bell in 1971, that allows the calculation of the flux sky map directly from a flux-limited galaxy catalog without cutting a volume-limited subsample. Using this scheme, the galaxy distribution can be modeled up to large scales while representing the distribution in the nearby Universe with maximum accuracy. We consider fluctuations in the flux map arising from the finiteness of the galaxy sample. We show how these fluctuations are reduced by the weighting scheme and discuss how the remaining fluctuations limit the applicability of the method.
