电离泡数计数作为非高斯性的探测

Ionized bubble number count as a probe of non-Gaussianity

Hiroyuki Tashiro, Naoshi Sugiyama

摘要:

本文研究了具有原始非高斯性的21厘米涨落图上电离气泡的计数问题。原初非高斯性的存在改变了再电离过程,因为坍缩物体的形成受到原初非高斯性的影响,而坍缩物体可能是再电离光子的来源。本文用一个简单的解析模型计算了电离泡的丰度,该模型具有局部型的原始非高斯性,并由f_{NL}参数化。为了考虑电离气泡计数与气泡尺寸和观测仪器分辨率的关系,引入了一个与电离气泡表面亮温对比度有关的阈值参数B_b。我们表明,有可能把约束f_{NL}从未来的观测,如LOFAR和SKA的数量计数。

英文摘要:

The number count of ionized bubbles on a map of 21 cm fluctuations with the primordial non-Gaussianity is investigated. The existence of the primordial non-Gaussianity modifies the reionization process, because the formation of collapsed objects, which could be the source of reionization photons, is affected by the primordial non-Gaussianity. In this paper, the abundance of ionized bubbles is calculated by using a simple analytic model with the local type of the primordial non-Gaussianity, which is parameterized by f_{NL}. In order to take into account the dependence of the number count on the size of ionized bubbles and the resolution of the observation instrument, a threshold parameter B_b which is related to the the surface brightness temperature contrast of an ionized bubble is introduced. We show the potential to put the constraint on f_{NL} from the number count by future observations such as LOFAR and SKA.
