空宇宙中的星系关联和BAO:作为哥白尼原理检验的结构形成

Galaxy correlations and the BAO in a void universe: structure formation as a test of the Copernican Principle

Sean February, Chris Clarkson, Roy Maartens

摘要:

对于暗能量问题,一个建议的解决方案是空洞模型,其中加速膨胀被哈勃尺度的不均匀性所取代。在这些模型中,密度扰动生长在径向不均匀的背景。这种大尺度的不均匀性使球形的重子声学振荡特征变形为椭球,这意味着星系关联函数中的凸点在径向和横向关联函数中出现在不同的尺度上。我们计算这些第一次,曲率梯度不耦合的标量模式的矢量和张量模式的近似下。径向和横向的关联函数是非常不同的协调模式,即使模式具有相同的平均BAO规模。这意味着,如果空隙模型被微调以满足平均BAO数据,则在关联函数中有足够的额外信息来区分空隙模型与一致性模型。我们希望这些新的功能,以保持完整的微扰方程求解时,这意味着径向和横向星系关联函数可以作为一个强大的测试哥白尼原理。

英文摘要:

A suggested solution to the dark energy problem is the void model, where accelerated expansion is replaced by Hubble-scale inhomogeneity. In these models, density perturbations grow on a radially inhomogeneous background. This large scale inhomogeneity distorts the spherical Baryon Acoustic Oscillation feature into an ellipsoid which implies that the bump in the galaxy correlation function occurs at different scales in the radial and transverse correlation functions. We compute these for the first time, under the approximation that curvature gradients do not couple the scalar modes to vector and tensor modes. The radial and transverse correlation functions are very different from those of the concordance model, even when the models have the same average BAO scale. This implies that if void models are fine-tuned to satisfy average BAO data, there is enough extra information in the correlation functions to distinguish a void model from the concordance model. We expect these new features to remain when the full perturbation equations are solved, which means that the radial and transverse galaxy correlation functions can be used as a powerful test of the Copernican Principle.
