暖暗物质的小尺度方面:功率谱和声学振荡

Small scale aspects of warm dark matter : power spectra and acoustic oscillations

Daniel Boyanovsky, Jun Wu

摘要:

我们提供了一个半解析研究的小尺度方面的功率谱的温暖的暗物质(WDM)的候选人,去耦,而相对论与任意分布函数。这些都是由两个广泛不同的尺度$k_{eq} \sim 0.01\,(\mathrm{Mpc})^{-1}$和$k_{fs}= \sqrt{3}\,k_{eq}/2\,< V^2_{eq} >^{1/2} $与$< V^2_{eq} >^{1/2} \ll 1 $的速度分散在物质辐射平等的特点。密度微扰的演化经历了三个阶段:相对论性和非相对论性粒子的辐射支配和物质支配。在第一阶段的早期ISW效应导致密度扰动的增强和$k \lesssim k_{fs}$的传递函数的平台。一个有效的流体描述出现在小尺度,其中包括在初始条件下的自由流动和不均匀性的影响。传递函数以$k \gtrsim 2 \,k_{fs}$为尺度表征\emph{WDM-acoustic oscillations}。本文分别在QCD和EW尺度下研究了两种具有非共振产生$m \sim \,\mathrm{keV}$的不育中微子模型的功率谱。后一种情况产生质量标度$\sim 10^{8}\,M_{\odot}$上的声振荡。我们的结果揭示了一个\emph{quasi-degeneracy}之间的质量,分布函数和去耦温度建议从目前的WDM N体模拟和莱曼- $α$森林数据的约束的无菌中微子的质量上的警告。给出了一种简单的大小尺度功率谱解析插值方法及其数值实现。

英文摘要:

We provide a semi-analytic study of the small scale aspects of the power spectra of warm dark matter (WDM) candidates that decoupled while relativistic with arbitrary distribution functions. These are characterized by two widely different scales $k_{eq} \sim 0.01\,(\mathrm{Mpc})^{-1}$ and $k_{fs}= \sqrt{3}\,k_{eq}/2\,< V^2_{eq} >^{1/2} $ with $< V^2_{eq} >^{1/2} \ll 1 $ the velocity dispersion at matter radiation equality. Density perturbations evolve through three stages: radiation domination when the particle is relativistic and non-relativistic and matter domination. An early ISW effect during the first stage leads to an enhancement of density perturbations and a plateau in the transfer function for $k \lesssim k_{fs}$. An effective fluid description emerges at small scales which includes the effects of free streaming in initial conditions and inhomogeneities. The transfer function features \emph{WDM-acoustic oscillations} at scales $k \gtrsim 2 \,k_{fs}$. We study the power spectra for two models of sterile neutrinos with $m \sim \,\mathrm{keV}$ produced non-resonantly, at the QCD and EW scales respectively. The latter case yields acoustic oscillations on mass scales $\sim 10^{8}\,M_{\odot}$. Our results reveal a \emph{quasi-degeneracy} between the mass, distribution function and decoupling temperature suggesting caveats on the constraints on the mass of a sterile neutrino from current WDM N-body simulations and Lyman-$α$ forest data. A simple analytic interpolation of the power spectra between large and small scales and its numerical implementation is given.
