使用局部维度探索斯隆数字巡天数据第七版中的宇宙网

Exploring the Cosmic Web in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release Seven using the Local Dimension

Prakash Sarkar, Biswajit Pandey, Somnath Bharadwaj

摘要:

我们可以把宇宙网想象成一个由一维细丝、二维薄片和三维体积填充结构组成的互联网络,我们称之为团簇。我们已经使用了本地维度D,它采取的值D = 1,2和3的细丝,片和集群,分别分析了宇宙网络的三维体积有限的星系样本从斯隆数字巡天数据发布7。分别使用三种不同的长度尺度范围进行分析:0.5-5、1-10和5-50 $h^{-1} {\rm Mpc}$。我们发现,当我们移动到更大的长度尺度时,D值逐渐增加。在最小的长度尺度上,星系主要存在于细丝和薄片中。在更大的尺度上,有从丝状到片状和簇状的转变。在最大的长度尺度(5-50 $h^{-1} {\rm Mpc}$)上完全没有花丝。考虑到密度环境对宇宙网络的影响,我们发现,与更喜欢相对较高密度环境的片和簇相比,细丝优先居住在具有较低密度环境的区域。在从千年模拟中抽取的星系样本中也发现了类似的长度尺度依赖性和环境依赖性,并以与实际数据完全相同的方式进行了分析。

英文摘要:

It is possible to visualize the Cosmic Web as an interconnected network of one-dimensional filaments, two-dimensional sheets and three-dimensional volume-filling structures which we refer to as clusters. We have used the Local Dimension D, which takes values D = 1, 2 and 3 for filaments, sheets and clusters, respectively, to analyse the Cosmic Web in a three-dimensional volume-limited galaxy sample from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7. The analysis was carried out separately using three different ranges of length-scales: 0.5-5, 1-10 and 5-50 $h^{-1} {\rm Mpc}$. We find that there is a progressive increase in the D values as we move to larger length-scales. At the smallest length-scale, the galaxies predominantly reside in filaments and sheets. There is a shift from filaments to sheets and clusters at larger scales. Filaments are completely absent at the largest length-scale (5-50 $h^{-1} {\rm Mpc}$). Considering the effect of the density environment on the Cosmic Web, we find that the filaments preferentially inhabit regions with a lower density environment as compared to sheets and clusters which prefer relatively higher density environments. A similar length-scale dependence and environment dependence was also found in a galaxy sample drawn from the Millennium Simulation which was analysed in exactly the same way as the actual data.
