从星系团计数的协方差看原初非高斯性

Primordial non-Gaussianity from the covariance of galaxy cluster counts

Carlos Cunha, Dragan Huterer, Olivier Dore

摘要:

最近有人提出,暗物质晕的大尺度偏差敏感地依赖于局部形式的原始非高斯性。在本文中,我们指出,强规模依赖的非高斯晕偏差印记一个独特的签名的协方差簇计数。我们发现,使用集群计数的全协方差的结果在三(一)个数量级的非高斯参数f_NL相对于集群计数(计数+集群方差)约束单独的约束上的改进。我们预测的f_NL约束下,即将到来的暗能量调查中存在的不确定性的质量可观测的关系,晕偏差,测光红移。我们发现,DES可以产生的非高斯sigma(f_NL)~ 1-5的约束,即使相对保守的系统学假设。在数百兆秒差距的尺度上,集群计数的过度相关性将代表局部类型的原始非高斯性的确凿证据。

英文摘要:

It has recently been proposed that the large-scale bias of dark matter halos depends sensitively on primordial non-Gaussianity of the local form. In this paper we point out that the strong scale dependence of the non-Gaussian halo bias imprints a distinct signature on the covariance of cluster counts. We find that using the full covariance of cluster counts results in improvements on constraints on the non-Gaussian parameter f_NL of three (one) orders of magnitude relative to cluster counts (counts + clustering variance) constraints alone. We forecast f_NL constraints for the upcoming Dark Energy Survey in the presence of uncertainties in the mass-observable relation, halo bias, and photometric redshifts. We find that the DES can yield constraints on non-Gaussianity of sigma(f_NL) ~ 1-5 even for relatively conservative assumptions regarding systematics. Excess of correlations of cluster counts on scales of hundreds of megaparsecs would represent a smoking gun signature of primordial non-Gaussianity of the local type.
