对“21厘米辐射:精细结构常数变化的新探索”一文的评论
Comment on "21-cm Radiation: A New Probe of Variation in the Fine-Structure Constant"
摘要:
Khatri和Wandelt报告说,α值变化1%会改变CMB的平均亮度温度$T_b$的衰减,这是由于在红移范围z $<$ 50内21 cm吸收的5%。他们的方法的一个缺点是使用了量纲参数。单位的改变会导致效应的大小甚至符号的改变。在大量其他考虑使用维度参数限制α变化的出版物中也可能发现类似的问题。我们提出了一种方法来获得一致的结果,并提供了一个估计的效果。
英文摘要:
Khatri and Wandelt reported that change in the value of alpha by 1% changes the mean brightness temperature $T_b$ decrement of the CMB due to 21 cm absorption by 5% over the redshift range z $<$ 50. A drawback of their approach is that the dimensionful parameters are used. Changing of units leads to the change of the magnitude and even sign of the effect. Similar problems may be identified in a large number of other publications which consider limits on the variation of alpha using dimentionful parameters. We propose a method to obtain consistent results and provide an estimate of the effect.
