宇宙流体中非绝热压力的大小

The magnitude of the non-adiabatic pressure in the cosmic fluid

Iain A. Brown, Adam J. Christopherson, Karim A. Malik

摘要:

了解非绝热压力或相对熵扰动对于研究早期宇宙涡度和宇宙微波背景观测至关重要。我们计算的线性非绝热压力扰动的辐射支配后期的演变,数值求解线性控制方程的波数范围很广。使用与WMAP七年数据一致的绝热初始条件,我们发现非绝热压力扰动是非零的,并且在早期增长,在物质/辐射相等的时代周围达到峰值,并在物质支配下衰减。在早期或大红移(z= 10,000),它的功率谱峰值在同动波数k~0.2h/Mpc,而在晚期(z=500),它的峰值在k~ 0.02h/Mpc。

英文摘要:

Understanding the non-adiabatic pressure, or relative entropy, perturbation is crucial for studies of early-universe vorticity and Cosmic Microwave Background observations. We calculate the evolution of the linear non-adiabatic pressure perturbation from radiation domination to late times, numerically solving the linear governing equations for a wide range of wavenumbers. Using adiabatic initial conditions consistent with WMAP seven year data, we find nevertheless that the non-adiabatic pressure perturbation is non-zero and grows at early times, peaking around the epoch of matter/radiation equality and decaying in matter domination. At early times or large redshifts (z=10,000) its power spectrum peaks at a comoving wavenumber k~0.2h/Mpc, while at late times (z=500) it peaks at k~0.02 h/Mpc.
