作为早期暗能量探测器的星系团

Galaxy Clusters as a probe of early dark energy

Ujjaini Alam, Zarija Lukić, Suman Bhattacharya

摘要:

我们研究了一类早期的暗能量(EDE)模型,其中,不同于标准的暗能量模型,大量的暗能量存在于物质主导的时代。我们自洽地包括暗能量扰动,并表明,这些模型可能会成功地约束使用未来的观测星系团,特别是红移丰度,和Sunyaev Zel 'dovich(SZ)功率谱。我们对EDE模型以及LCDM对入射X射线(eROSITA)和微波(南极望远镜)观测进行预测。我们表明,星系团的质量函数和SZ功率谱将把强有力的约束\de今天的状态方程和红移,在该EDE过渡到今天的LCDM类似的行为,这些模型,从而提供补充信息的几何探测的暗能量。在EDE模型中不包括扰动导致这些模型实际上与LCDM无法区分。未来星系团调查的MCMC分析提供了EDE参数的限制,与背景膨胀观测,如超新星的竞争和补充。

英文摘要:

We study a class of early dark energy (EDE) models, in which, unlike in standard dark energy models, a substantial amount of dark energy exists in the matter-dominated era. We self-consistently include dark energy perturbations, and show that these models may be successfully constrained using future observations of galaxy clusters, in particular the redshift abundance, and the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) power spectrum. We make predictions for EDE models, as well as LCDM for incoming X-ray (eROSITA) and microwave (South Pole Telescope) observations. We show that galaxy clusters' mass function and the SZ power spectrum will put strong constraints both on the equation of state of \de today and the redshift at which EDE transits to present-day LCDM like behavior for these models, thus providing complementary information to the geometric probes of dark energy. Not including perturbations in EDE models leads to those models being practically indistinguishable from LCDM. An MCMC analysis of future galaxy cluster surveys provides constraints for EDE parameters that are competitive with and complementary to background expansion observations such as supernovae.
