盲区探测:哪里能找到红移的原子和分子吸收?

Blind Wide Area Surveys: Where will we find redshifted atomic and molecular absorption?

S. J. Curran, M. T. Whiting, J. K. Webb

摘要:

原子和分子物质的红移射电吸收光谱提供了早期宇宙气体冷组分的极好探测器,可用于解决许多重要问题,如测量重子含量,探测大尺度结构和星系演化,以及在大的回顾时间获得基本常数的各种组合的独立测量。然而,这种系统目前非常罕见,在HI 21-cm中仅检测到80个,在OH和毫米波段中检测到5个。在这里,我们总结了主要的选择标准,负责这一点,以及如何下一代射电望远镜预计将绕过这些通过其广泛的瞬时带宽和视场。

英文摘要:

Spectroscopy of redshifted radio absorption of atomic and molecular species provide excellent probes of the cold component of the gas in the early Universe which can be used to address many important issues, such as measuring baryonic content, probing large-scale structure and galaxy evolution, as well as obtaining independent measurements of various combinations of fundamental constants at large look-back times. However, such systems are currently very rare with only 80 detected in HI 21-cm and five in OH and millimetre-band species. Here we summarise the main selection criteria responsible for this and how the next generation of radio telescopes are expected to circumvent these through their wide instantaneous bandwidths and fields-of-view.
