局域空洞对成团偶极子测量的影响

Influence of the Local Void on measurements of the clustering dipole

Maciej Bilicki, Michał Chodorowski

摘要:

在全天巡天的成团偶极子测量中,一个重要的问题是缺乏关于所谓的回避区(ZoA)中星系分布的信息。局部空洞(LV)的存在对这些测量有系统的影响。如果ZoA随机地充满了模拟星系,那么计算出的本星系群(LG)的加速度有一个虚假的分量,这是由于LV与ZoA相交处缺乏真正的星系。该分量不仅影响成团偶极子与CMB偶极子之间的失调角,而且影响平均物质密度Omega_m的推断值。我们计算了由于LV作用在LG上的寄生加速度的幅度。其值取决于LV的几何形状和大小以及其密度对比度。然而,在最简单的假设下,LV是球形的,完全空的,在线性理论中,这个振幅以速度为单位仅约为45 km/s。所得到的失准角的变化小于1度,并且Ω_m的推导值的分数变化为约5%。考虑到观测表明LV的伸长,并保持内部完全缺乏星系的最大化假设,这些数字只会适度增加。具体地,伪加速度的幅度上升到约60 km/s,失准角保持仍然小于1度,并且Omega_m的推导值的分数变化被增强到约7%。因此,尽管整体的重要性,本地虚空的运动的本地组,交叉的LV与ZoA的测量的集群偶极子的影响被发现是只有一个轻微的系统效应。

英文摘要:

In measurements of the clustering dipole from all-sky surveys, an important problem is the lack of information about galaxy distribution in the so-called Zone of Avoidance (ZoA). The existence of the Local Void (LV) has a systematic effect on these measurements. If the ZoA is randomly filled with mock galaxies, then the calculated acceleration of the Local Group of galaxies (LG) has a spurious component, resulting from the lack of real galaxies in the intersection of the LV with the ZoA. This component affects both the misalignment angle between the clustering dipole and the CMB dipole, and the inferred value of mean matter density Omega_m. We calculate the amplitude of the spurious acceleration acting on the LG due to the LV. Its value depends on the geometry and size of the LV, as well as on its density contrast. However, under the simplest assumption of the LV being spherical and completely empty, within the linear theory this amplitude amounts only to about 45 km/s in units of velocity. The resulting change in the misalignment angle is smaller than 1 degree, and the fractional change in the deduced value of Omega_m is about 5%. Accounting for observationally indicated elongation of the LV and maintaining the maximising assumption of a complete lack of galaxies inside increases these numbers only moderately. Specifically, the amplitude of the spurious acceleration rises to about 60 km/s, the misalignment angle remains still smaller than 1 degree, and the fractional change in the deduced value of Omega_m is enhanced to about 7%. Thus, despite the overall importance of the Local Void for the motion of the Local Group, the influence of the intersection of the LV with the ZoA on measurements of the clustering dipole is found to be only a minor systematic effect.
