天空中的偶极子

Dipoles in the Sky

Cameron Gibelyou, Dragan Huterer

摘要:

我们使用跨越宽波长范围的大尺度结构调查数据进行统计各向同性的观测检验。利用2MASS、2MRS和NVSS星系以及BATSE伽马射线暴的数据,我们将偶极调制的幅度和方向限制在沿视线投射的源的数量上。我们特别注意系统误差和选择效应的处理,并仔细区分以前在文献中考虑的偶极子信号的不同来源。在这些调查中检测到的偶极子信号与标准的,统计上各向同性的预期是一致的,除了NVSS的结果,这可能是由数据中的剩余系统性偏见。我们对早期宇宙中由新物理驱动的任何固有偶极子的振幅施加限制。

英文摘要:

We perform observational tests of statistical isotropy using data from large-scale structure surveys spanning a wide range of wavelengths. Using data from 2MASS, 2MRS, and NVSS galaxies, and BATSE gamma-ray bursts, we constrain the amplitude and direction of dipolar modulations in the number count of sources projected along the line of sight. We pay particular attention to the treatment of systematic errors and selection effects, and carefully distinguish between different sources of dipole signal previously considered in the literature. Dipole signals detected in these surveys are consistent with the standard, statistically isotropic expectation, except for the NVSS result, which is likely biased by remaining systematics in the data. We place constraints on the amplitude of any intrinsic dipole driven by novel physics in the early universe.
