相对论宇宙学数密度与光度函数

Relativistic Cosmology Number Densities and the Luminosity Function

Alvaro S. Iribarrem, Amanda R. Lopes, Marcelo B. Ribeiro, William R. Stoeger

摘要:

研究了具有非零宇宙学常数的Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker时空中过去光锥下星系的相对论数密度与星系光度函数(LF)数据之间的关系.它扩展了Albani等人(2007:astro-ph/0611032)之前研究星系分布的结果的红移范围,直至z=1。在该范围内检测到观察到的不均匀性。本研究还在Ribeiro和Stoeger(2003:astro-ph/0304094)提出的框架下寻找LF演化,进一步发展了相对论宇宙学理论与LF数据的联系。选择函数是利用FORS深场星系巡天I波段选择数据集的Schechter参数和星系光度函数的红移参数化得到的,其红移范围为0.5<z<5.0(蓝带)和0.75<z<3.0(红带)。微分计数,密度和其他相关的观测,然后使用计算的选择功能,研究经验的径向分布的星系在一个完全相对论的框架。在这项工作中使用的数据集的红移范围,这是高达五倍以上,比以前的研究中使用的,显示了增加的相关性的相对论性膨胀的影响相比,在更高的红移的LF的演变。结果也与Albani等人(2007:astro-ph/0611032)的初步结果一致,表明当相对论密度以光度距离定义时,在高红移处的相对论密度呈现幂律行为。

英文摘要:

This paper studies the connection between the relativistic number density of galaxies down the past light cone in a Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker spacetime with non-vanishing cosmological constant and the galaxy luminosity function (LF) data. It extends the redshift range of previous results presented in Albani et al. (2007:astro-ph/0611032) where the galaxy distribution was studied out to z=1. Observational inhomogeneities were detected at this range. This research also searches for LF evolution in the context of the framework advanced by Ribeiro and Stoeger (2003:astro-ph/0304094), further developing the theory linking relativistic cosmology theory and LF data. Selection functions are obtained using the Schechter parameters and redshift parametrization of the galaxy luminosity functions obtained from an I-band selected dataset of the FORS Deep Field galaxy survey in the redshift range 0.5<z<5.0 for its blue bands and 0.75<z<3.0 for its red ones. Differential number counts, densities and other related observables are obtained, and then used with the calculated selection functions to study the empirical radial distribution of the galaxies in a fully relativistic framework. The redshift range of the dataset used in this work, which is up to five times larger than the one used in previous studies, shows an increased relevance of the relativistic effects of expansion when compared to the evolution of the LF at the higher redshifts. The results also agree with the preliminary ones presented in Albani et al. (2007:astro-ph/0611032), suggesting a power-law behavior of relativistic densities at high redshifts when they are defined in terms of the luminosity distance.
