利用宇宙红外背景分数各向异性约束高红移逃逸分数和尘埃含量的新方法

A Novel Approach to Constrain the Escape Fraction and Dust Content at High Redshift Using the Cosmic Infrared Background Fractional Anisotropy

Elizabeth R. Fernandez, Herve Dole, Ilian T. Iliev

摘要:

宇宙红外背景(CIB)提供了一个机会,以限制许多性质的高红移(z>6)恒星星族作为一个整体。这个背景,具体来说,从1到200微米,将包含有关再电离时代和负责产生这些电离光子的恒星的任何信息。在本文中,我们看看分数各向异性Δ I/I的高红移人口,这是比值的波动幅度(Δ I)和平均强度(I)。我们表明,这可以用来限制逃逸分数的人口作为一个整体。CIB的波动幅度取决于逃逸分数,而平均强度不。这导致逃逸分数的较低值产生分数各向异性的较高值。这种差异预计在较长的波长带(10微米以上)更大,尽管在该范围内也更难观察到。我们表明,分数各向异性也可以用来分离尘埃从无尘人口。最后,我们讨论了CIB分数各向异性的当前观测提供的约束。

英文摘要:

The Cosmic Infrared Background (CIB) provides an opportunity to constrain many properties of the high redshift (z>6) stellar population as a whole. This background, specifically, from 1 to 200 microns, will contain any information about the era of reionization and the stars responsible for producing these ionizing photons. In this paper, we look at the fractional anisotropy delta I/I of this high redshift population, which is the ratio of the magnitude of the fluctuations (delta I) and the mean intensity (I). We show that this can be used to constrain the escape fraction of the population as a whole. The magnitude of the fluctuations of the CIB depend on the escape fraction, while the mean intensity does not. This results in lower values of the escape fraction producing higher values of the fractional anisotropy. This difference is predicted to be larger at the longer wavelengths bands (above 10 microns), albeit it is also much harder to observe in that range. We show that the fractional anisotropy can also be used to separate a dusty from a dust-free population. Finally, we discuss the constraints provided by current observations on the CIB fractional anisotropy.
