低频射电源的宇宙学演化模型

A model for the cosmological evolution of low frequency radio sources

Marcella Massardi, Anna Bonaldi, Mattia Negrello, Sara Ricciardi, Alvise Raccanelli, Gianfranco De Zotti

摘要:

我们提出了一个新的演化模型,描述了频率<5 GHz的射电源的人口属性,从而补充了De Zotti等人(2005)的模型,在更高的频率。我们发现,简单的分析光度演化仍然足以适应当地的光度函数,多频源计数,和红移分布的可用数据的财富。然而,拟合需要在高红移时光源亮度依赖于亮度的下降,至少对于陡谱光源来说是这样,从而证实了射电源“缩小尺寸”的早期迹象。在次mJy水平的源计数的上升占一个简单的外推,使用经验的远红外/无线电相关性,匹配的远红外计数和恒星形成星系的红移分布的演化模型。我们还讨论了新模型的影响,解释数据的大规模集群的射电源和综合萨克斯-沃尔夫(ISW)的效果,并调查的贡献离散源的河外背景。至于ISW效应,一项新的分析利用了一个非常干净的CMB地图,产生了比以前报道的显着性更高的显着性。

英文摘要:

We present a new evolutionary model that describes the population properties of radio sources at frequencies <5 GHz, thus complementing the De Zotti et al. (2005) model, holding at higher frequencies. We find that simple analytic luminosity evolution is still sufficient to fit the wealth of available data on local luminosity functions, multi-frequency source counts, and redshift distributions. However, the fit requires a luminosity-dependent decline of source luminosities at high redshifts, at least for steep-spectrum sources, thus confirming earlier indications of a "downsizing" also for radio sources. The upturn of source counts at sub-mJy levels is accounted for by a straightforward extrapolation, using the empirical far-IR/radio correlation, of evolutionary models matching the far-IR counts and redshift distributions of star-forming galaxies. We also discuss the implications of the new model for the interpretation of data on large-scale clustering of radio sources and on the Integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect, and for the investigation of the contribution of discrete sources to the extragalactic background. As for the ISW effect, a new analysis exploiting a very clean CMB map, yields at a substantially higher significance than reported before.
