解释大尺度红移-空间畸变测量

Interpreting large-scale redshift-space distortion measurements

Lado Samushia, Will J. Percival, Alvise Raccanelli

摘要:

描述大尺度红移空间畸变(RSD)的最简单理论,基于线性理论和遥远星系,依赖于宇宙结构的增长,这表明广义相对论的强有力检验可以从星系巡天中构建出来。随着数据集变得越来越大,预期的约束条件越来越精确,需要评估RSD遵循简单理论的程度,以便我们不会通过引入不准确的简化假设将系统误差引入测试。我们研究的样品的几何形状,非线性过程,和偏差引起的我们缺乏了解的径向星系分布RSD测量的影响。使用LasDamas模拟的斯隆数字巡天II(SDSS-II)的亮红星系(LRG)的数据,这些影响被证明是重要的,在20%.Including他们的水平,我们可以准确地模拟恢复集群在这些模拟目录上的规模30 - 200 Mpc/h。应用这一分析来鲁棒地测量描述宇宙生长历史的SDSS-II数据的参数,给出了$f(z=0.25)σ_8(z=0.25)=0.3512\pm0.0583$和$f(z=0.37)σ_8(z=0.37)=0.4602\pm0.0378$,当没有先验的增长率,并假设背景几何遵循$Λ$ CDM模型与WMAP + SNIa先验。标准WMAP约束的$Λ$ CDM模型与广义相对论预测$f(z=0.25)σ_8(z=0.25)=0.4260\pm0.0141$和$f(z=0.37)σ_8(z=0.37)=0.4367\pm0.0136$,这是完全符合这些测量。

英文摘要:

The simplest theory describing large-scale redshift-space distortions (RSD), based on linear theory and distant galaxies, depends on the growth of cosmological structure, suggesting that strong tests of General Relativity can be constructed from galaxy surveys. As data sets become larger and the expected constraints more precise, the extent to which the RSD follow the simple theory needs to be assessed in order that we do not introduce systematic errors into the tests by introducing inaccurate simplifying assumptions. We study the impact of the sample geometry, non-linear processes, and biases induced by our lack of understanding of the radial galaxy distribution on RSD measurements. Using LasDamas simulations of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey II (SDSS-II) Luminous Red Galaxy (LRG) data, these effects are shown to be important at the level of 20 per cent. Including them, we can accurately model the recovered clustering in these mock catalogues on scales 30 -- 200 Mpc/h. Applying this analysis to robustly measure parameters describing the growth history of the Universe from the SDSS-II data, gives $f(z=0.25)σ_8(z=0.25)=0.3512\pm0.0583$ and $f(z=0.37)σ_8(z=0.37)=0.4602\pm0.0378$ when no prior is imposed on the growth-rate, and the background geometry is assumed to follow a $Λ$CDM model with the WMAP + SNIa priors. The standard WMAP constrained $Λ$CDM model with General Relativity predicts $f(z=0.25)σ_8(z=0.25)=0.4260\pm0.0141$ and $f(z=0.37)σ_8(z=0.37)=0.4367\pm0.0136$, which is fully consistent with these measurements.
