精确宇宙学的最佳宇宙纪元

The Optimal Cosmic Epoch for Precision Cosmology

Abraham Loeb

摘要:

在给定的同向运动尺度上测量原始密度扰动的统计不确定性由观测者可以到达的该尺度的独立区域的数量决定。这个数字随着宇宙时间的变化而变化,在标准宇宙学模型的遥远过去或未来,每个哈勃体积都会减少。我们表明,最好的约束的线性密度扰动的初始功率谱是可访问的(例如,通过21厘米强度映射)在红移z~10,约束宇宙学初始条件的能力将迅速恶化,在我们的宇宙的未来。

英文摘要:

The statistical uncertainty in measuring the primordial density perturbations on a given comoving scale is dictated by the number of independent regions of that scale that are accessible to an observer. This number varies with cosmic time and diminishes per Hubble volume in the distant past or future of the standard cosmological model. We show that the best constraints on the initial power spectrum of linear density perturbations are accessible (e.g. through 21-cm intensity mapping) at redshifts z~10, and that the ability to constrain the cosmological initial conditions will deteriorate quickly in our cosmic future.
