摘要:

利用全Lya辐射转移计算,在宇宙学再电离模拟中研究了z~5.7的Lyman α发射体(LAEs)的成团特性. Lya辐射转移实质上修改了固有的Lya发射特性,与观察到的相比,取决于Lya发射星系周围的密度和速度结构环境。这种环境依赖的Lya选择在LAE聚类中引入了新的功能,抑制(增强)视线(横向)密度波动,并引起尺度依赖的星系偏差。在实空间中,三维两点关联函数的LAEs的轮廓出现显着拉长沿视线上的大尺度,效果是相反的,比线性红移空间失真效果强得多。投影的两点关联函数的幅度大大增强了几倍,相比的情况下,没有环境依赖的选择效果。LAE聚类中的新特征可以用一个简单的物理模型来理解,其中Lya选择取决于物质密度,速度及其梯度。我们讨论的影响和后果的星系聚类Lya选择在解释聚类测量和约束宇宙学和再电离LAEs。

英文摘要:

We study the clustering properties of z~5.7 Lyman-alpha emitters (LAEs) in a cosmological reionization simulation with a full Lya radiative transfer calculation. Lya radiative transfer substantially modifies the intrinsic Lya emission properties, compared to observed ones, depending on the density and velocity structure environment around the Lya emitting galaxy. This environment-dependent Lya selection introduces new features in LAE clustering, suppressing (enhancing) the line-of-sight (transverse) density fluctuations and giving rise to scale-dependent galaxy bias. In real space, the contours of the three-dimensional two-point correlation function of LAEs appear to be prominently elongated along the line of sight on large scales, an effect that is opposite to and much stronger than the linear redshift-space distortion effect. The projected two-point correlation function is greatly enhanced in amplitude by a factor of up to a few, compared to the case without the environment dependent selection effect. The new features in LAE clustering can be understood with a simple, physically motivated model, where Lya selection depends on matter density, velocity, and their gradients. We discuss the implications and consequences of the effects on galaxy clustering from Lya selection in interpreting clustering measurements and in constraining cosmology and reionization from LAEs.
