从大质量高红移星系团估算f_NL和g_NL

Estimating f_NL and g_NL from Massive High-Redshift Galaxy Clusters

Kari Enqvist, Shaun Hotchkiss, Olli Taanila

摘要:

有15个高红移大质量星系团的观测,这有一个纯粹的高斯初始曲率扰动的概率极小。在这里,我们重新估计的非高斯性的集群质量函数的贡献,并指出严重的问题,导致在其有效性的范围内的质量函数的应用。我们补救的情况,并表明,以前声称完全调和(即在~100%的置信度)的集群与LambdaCDM的存在的f_NL的值是非物理小。然而,对于WMAP宇宙学,在95%的置信度下,我们得到了极限f_NL>411,这与以前的估计相似。我们还探讨了大g_NL作为观测到的大质量星系团过剩的原因的可能性。这种g_NL>2*10^6的情况似乎与CMB和LSS对非高斯参数的限制更加一致,也可以解释早期宇宙中大量存在的大空洞。

英文摘要:

There are observations of 15 high-redshift massive galaxy clusters, which have an extremely small probability with a purely Gaussian initial curvature perturbation. Here we revisit the estimation of the contribution of non-Gaussianities to the cluster mass function and point out serious problems that have resulted in the application of the mass function out of the range of its validity. We remedy the situation and show that the values of f_NL previously claimed to completely reconcile (i.e. at ~100% confidence) the existence of the clusters with LambdaCDM are unphysically small. However, for WMAP cosmology and at 95% confidence, we arrive at the limit f_NL>411, which is similar to previous estimates. We also explore the possibility of a large g_NL as the reason for the observed excess of the massive galaxy clusters. This scenario, g_NL>2*10^6, appears to be in more agreement with CMB and LSS limits for the non-Gaussianity parameters and could also provide an explanation for the overabundance of large voids in the early universe.
