摘要:

我们提出了一种新的方法来构建二次温度波动的地图上的宇宙微波背景(CMB)辐射的光子传播通过不断变化的宇宙引力势。利用大宇宙学N体模拟方法计算了奇异引力势的完全非线性演化。通过选定观测者过去的光锥追踪光线,准确地捕捉到线性(集成的萨克斯-沃尔夫或ISW效应)和非线性(里斯-夏玛或RS效应)演化产生的温度扰动。这些效应在温度图中产生三种非线性特征。(a)在过密区域,会聚的物质流诱导冷点的数量级为100 Mpc的范围内,可以占主导地位的ISW效应在高红移,并包围着热环。(b)在低密度区域,RS效应增强了ISW冷点,这些冷点可以被弱热环包围。(c)大块物质的横向运动产生了特有的偶极特征,由几十兆秒差距的相邻热点和冷点组成。这些非线性特征不容易被检测到;它们在大约10%的水平上调制ISW的天空图。RS效应导致角功率谱在l~50处偏离线性理论,并产生非高斯性,使单点分布函数偏向负值。冷点的角度大小相似,但幅度比克鲁兹等人报道的CMB冷点小得多。对我们的地图和相应的星系分布的联合分析可能使技术能够被开发来检测这些非线性,非高斯特征。我们的地图可在http://astro.dur.ac.uk/~cai/ISW上获得

英文摘要:

We present a new method for constructing maps of the secondary temperature fluctuations imprinted on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation by photons propagating through the evolving cosmic gravitational potential. Large cosmological N-body simulations are used to calculate the complete non-linear evolution of the peculiar gravitational potential. Tracing light rays back through the past lightcone of a chosen observer accurately captures the temperature perturbations generated by linear (the integrated Sachs-Wolfe or ISW effect) and non-linear (the Rees-Sciama or RS effect) evolution. These effects give rise to three kinds of non-linear features in the temperature maps. (a) In overdense regions, converging flows of matter induce cold spots of order 100 Mpc in extent which can dominate over the ISW effect at high redshift, and are surrounded by hot rings. (b) In underdense regions, the RS effect enhances ISW cold spots which can be surrounded by weak hot rings. (c) Transverse motions of large lumps of matter produce characteristic dipole features, consisting of adjacent hot and cold spots separated by a few tens of Megaparsecs. These non-linear features are not easily detectable; they modulate the ISW sky maps at about the 10 percent level. The RS effect causes the angular power spectrum to deviate from linear theory at l~50 and generates non-Gaussianity, skewing the one-point distribution function to negative values. Cold spots of similar angular size, but much smaller amplitude than the CMB cold spot reported by Cruz et al. are produced. Joint analysis of our maps and the corresponding galaxy distribution may enable techniques to be developed to detect these non-linear, non-Gaussian features. Our maps are available at http://astro.dur.ac.uk/~cai/ISW
