从天空深毫米图前景中提取宇宙学信号

Extracting cosmological signals from foregrounds in deep mm maps of the sky

Luca Conversi, Paola Fiadino, Paolo de Bernardis, Silvia Masi

摘要:

在毫米和亚毫米波段的高银河纬度天空包含了关于早期宇宙的重要宇宙学信息(就宇宙微波背景而言),但也包含了早期星系产生的远红外背景和星系团中的Sunyaev-Zeldovich效应的宇宙结构形成过程。由于普朗克任务将在这个频率范围内产生全天空地图,因此选定的低前景天空补丁的更深地图可以产生补充和重要的信息。在这里,我们分析的性能气球载调查覆盖10^ \circ x 10^ \circ补丁的天空与几角分分辨率和非常高的像素灵敏度。我们模拟mm/submm天空的不同组成部分(即,CMB各向异性,SZ效应,无线电和红外源,远红外背景和星际尘埃)使用目前的知识对他们每一个。然后,我们将它们结合起来,增加探测器噪声,在130至500 GHz的四个观测波段产生详细的模拟观测。最后,我们分析了模拟的地图,并估计该仪器在提取每个组件的相关信息的性能。我们发现,CMB角功率谱的准确恢复高达1 ~ 3000。使用Sunyaev-Zel'dovich效应,我们的输入地图中存在的大多数星系团都被检测到(总效率为60%)。我们的研究结果还表明,更强的约束可以放在远红外背景模型。

英文摘要:

The high Galactic latitude sky at millimeter and submm wavelengths contains significant cosmological information about the early Universe (in terms of the cosmic microwave background) but also the process of structure formation in the Universe from the far infrared background produced by early galaxies and the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect in clusters of galaxies. As the Planck mission will produce full sky maps in this frequency range, deeper maps of selected low-foregrounds patches of the sky can produce complementary and important information. Here we analyze the performance of a balloon-borne survey covering a 10^\circ x 10^\circ patch of the sky with a few arcminute resolution and very high pixel sensitivity. We simulate the different components of the mm/submm sky (i.e., CMB anisotropies, SZ effect, radio and infrared sources, far infrared background, and interstellar dust) using current knowledge about each of them. We then combine them, adding detector noise, to produce detailed simulated observations in four observational bands ranging from 130 to 500 GHz. Finally, we analyze the simulated maps and estimate the performance of the instrument in extracting the relevant information about each of the components. We find that the CMB angular power spectrum is accurately recovered up to l ~ 3000. Using the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect, most of the galaxy clusters present in our input map are detected (60% efficiency overall). Our results also show that much stronger constrains can be placed on far infrared background models.
