摘要:

即将到来的无线电连续谱调查将覆盖可观测宇宙的大部分区域,并将达到高红移,使其成为暗能量、修正引力和非高斯性的潜在强大探测器。在这里,我们通过分析角功率谱的广义相对论(GR)修正扩展了最近的工作。这些GR校正的标准牛顿分析的功率谱变得显着的尺度上接近和超越哈勃尺度在每个红移。我们认为,连续调查与LOFAR,WSRT和ASKAP,连续调查与SKA的例子。我们发现,在LOFAR、WODAN和EMU调查中,GR校正最多为100000,但对于足够高灵敏度的SKA连续统调查,它们可以产生$O(10%)$变化。然而,信号是由宇宙方差,和多示踪剂观测将需要克服这个问题。GR校正被抑制在连续谱调查,因为集成的红移-我们预计,GR校正将增强未来SKA HI调查中的源红移将是已知的。我们还提供了预测的角功率谱的情况下,原始扰动具有局部非高斯性。我们发现,非高斯占主导地位的GR校正,并上升到宇宙方差以上时,$f_{\rm NL}\gtrsim5$的SKA连续调查。

英文摘要:

Forthcoming radio continuum surveys will cover large volumes of the observable Universe and will reach to high redshifts, making them potentially powerful probes of dark energy, modified gravity and non-Gaussianity. Here we extend recent works by analyzing the general relativistic (GR) corrections to the angular power spectrum. These GR corrections to the standard Newtonian analysis of the power spectrum become significant on scales near and beyond the Hubble scale at each redshift. We consider the continuum surveys with LOFAR, WSRT and ASKAP, and examples of continuum surveys with the SKA. We find that the GR corrections are at most percent-level in LOFAR, WODAN and EMU surveys, but they can produce $O(10%)$ changes for high enough sensitivity SKA continuum surveys. The signal is however dominated by cosmic variance, and multiple-tracer observations will be needed to overcome this problem. The GR corrections are suppressed in continuum surveys because of the integration over redshift -- we expect that GR corrections will be enhanced for future SKA HI surveys in which the source redshifts will be known. We also provide predictions for the angular power spectra in the case where the primordial perturbations have local non-Gaussianity. We find that non-Gaussianity dominates over GR corrections, and rises above cosmic variance when $f_{\rm NL}\gtrsim5$ for SKA continuum surveys.
