WiggleZ暗能量调查:用结构增长率约束牛顿常数的演化

The WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey: constraining the evolution of Newton's constant using the growth rate of structure

Savvas Nesseris, Chris Blake, Tamara Davis, David Parkinson

摘要:

我们使用WiggleZ暗能量调查在红移范围$0.1 < z < 0.9$测量的大尺度结构的增长率来约束牛顿常数的演化。我们以两种方式使用这些数据。首先,我们约束宇宙的物质密度,$\omms$(假设广义相对论),并使用它来构建一个诊断,以检测一个不断发展的牛顿常数的存在。其次,我们直接测量牛顿常数$\Geff$的演化,它出现在修正的引力理论中,而不假设广义相对论是真的。这些方法的新颖之处在于,与其他方法相反,它们不需要宇宙膨胀历史的知识,$H(z)$,使它们成为独立于模型的测试。假设牛顿常数的二阶导数正像大爆炸核合成的约束所暗示的那样缓慢地演化,我们对牛顿常数的二阶导数的约束是使用WiggleZ数据的$\ddotGeff(t_0)=-1.19\pm 0.95\cdot 10^{-20}h^2 \textrm{yr}^{-2}$,其中$h$是通过$H_0=100 h km s^{-1}Mpc^{-1}$定义的,而使用WiggleZ和斯隆数字巡天亮红星系(SDSS LRG)数据的约束是$\ddotGeff(t_0)=-3.6\pm 6.8\cdot 10^{-21}h^2 \rm{yr}^{-2}$,两者都符合广义相对论。最后,我们使用WiggleZ数据的均方根质量波动$σ_8$的约束是$σ_8=0.75 \pm 0.08$,而使用WiggleZ和SDSS LRG数据$σ_8=0.77 \pm 0.07$,两者都与最新的宇宙微波背景辐射的测量结果吻合得很好。

英文摘要:

We constrain the evolution of Newton's constant using the growth rate of large-scale structure measured by the WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey in the redshift range $0.1 < z < 0.9$. We use this data in two ways. Firstly we constrain the matter density of the Universe, $\omms$ (assuming General Relativity), and use this to construct a diagnostic to detect the presence of an evolving Newton's constant. Secondly we directly measure the evolution of Newton's constant, $\Geff$, that appears in Modified Gravity theories, without assuming General Relativity to be true. The novelty of these approaches are that, contrary to other methods, they do not require knowledge of the expansion history of the Universe, $H(z)$, making them model independent tests. Our constraints for the second derivative of Newton's constant at the present day, assuming it is slowly evolving as suggested by Big Bang Nucleosynthesis constraints, using the WiggleZ data is $\ddotGeff(t_0)=-1.19\pm 0.95\cdot 10^{-20}h^2 \textrm{yr}^{-2}$, where $h$ is defined via $H_0=100 h km s^{-1}Mpc^{-1}$, while using both the WiggleZ and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Luminous Red Galaxy (SDSS LRG) data is $\ddotGeff(t_0)=-3.6\pm 6.8\cdot 10^{-21}h^2 \rm{yr}^{-2}$, both being consistent with General Relativity. Finally, our constraint for the rms mass fluctuation $σ_8$ using the WiggleZ data is $σ_8=0.75 \pm 0.08$, while using both the WiggleZ and the SDSS LRG data $σ_8=0.77 \pm 0.07$, both in good agreement with the latest measurements from the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation.
