原始非高斯性对巨弧统计的影响:一个尺度相关的例子

The Effects of Primordial Non-Gaussianity on Giant-Arc Statistics: A Scale Dependent Example

Anson D'Aloisio, Priyamvada Natarajan

摘要:

在最近发表的一篇文章中,我们量化了原始非高斯性对巨弧形成概率的影响。在这项工作中,我们专注于非高斯性的局部形式,并发现它只能有一个适度的影响,鉴于最近的限制,从宇宙微波背景(CMB)的测量。在这里,我们提出了新的计算使用的参数化的尺度相关的非高斯性,其中的原始双谱具有等边形状和有效的f_NL参数依赖于规模。我们发现,这种类型的非高斯性可以产生更大的影响,巨弧丰度相比,由于规模的依赖性和相对较弱的约束,从CMB测量的等边形状的本地形式。与先前发现的局部形式的最大~40%的影响(在最新的CMB约束内)相反,我们发现,尺度依赖的等边形式的预测巨弧丰度可以与高斯情况下的几个因子不同。

英文摘要:

In a recently published article, we quantified the impact of primordial non-Gaussianity on the probability of giant-arc formation. In that work, we focused on the local form of non-Gaussianity and found that it can have only a modest effect given the most recent constraints from Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) measurements. Here, we present new calculations using a parameterization of scale-dependent non-Gaussianity in which the primordial bispectrum has the equilateral shape and the effective f_NL parameter depends on scale. We find that non-Gaussianity of this type can yield a larger effect on the giant-arc abundance compared to the local form due to both the scale dependence and the relatively weaker constraints on the equilateral shape from CMB measurements. In contrast to the maximum ~40% effect (within the latest CMB constraints) previously found for the local form, we find that the predicted giant-arc abundance for the scale-dependent equilateral form can differ by a factor of a few with respect to the Gaussian case.
