摘要:

宇宙中大尺度结构的生长历史是对宇宙学模型包括暗能量本质的有力探索。我们使用WiggleZ暗能量巡天的多个$162{,}000$星系的红移来研究宇宙结构的增长率对$z = 0.9$的红移。我们将数据分成四个红移切片与有效的红移$z = [0.2,0.4,0.6,0.76]$和在每个样本的测量和建模的2点星系关联函数在平行和横向的视线方向。在同时拟合星系偏置因子后,我们恢复了与我们假设的$Λ$ CDM输入宇宙学模型一致的宇宙增长率值,每个红移切片的准确度约为20%。我们调查的敏感性,我们的结果的细节假设的模型和物理尺度的范围内拟合,密切比较与一组N体模拟校准。我们的测量结果与类似数据集的独立功率谱分析一致,表明结果不是由系统误差驱动的。我们确定成对的速度分散的样品中的非参数的方式,表明它系统地增加减少红移,并调查Alcock-Paczynski的影响,改变假设的基准模型的结果。我们的技术应该证明是有用的,为当前和未来的星系调查映射的增长率的结构,使用二维关联函数。

英文摘要:

The growth history of large-scale structure in the Universe is a powerful probe of the cosmological model, including the nature of dark energy. We study the growth rate of cosmic structure to redshift $z = 0.9$ using more than $162{,}000$ galaxy redshifts from the WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey. We divide the data into four redshift slices with effective redshifts $z = [0.2,0.4,0.6,0.76]$ and in each of the samples measure and model the 2-point galaxy correlation function in parallel and transverse directions to the line-of-sight. After simultaneously fitting for the galaxy bias factor we recover values for the cosmic growth rate which are consistent with our assumed $Λ$CDM input cosmological model, with an accuracy of around 20% in each redshift slice. We investigate the sensitivity of our results to the details of the assumed model and the range of physical scales fitted, making close comparison with a set of N-body simulations for calibration. Our measurements are consistent with an independent power-spectrum analysis of a similar dataset, demonstrating that the results are not driven by systematic errors. We determine the pairwise velocity dispersion of the sample in a non-parametric manner, showing that it systematically increases with decreasing redshift, and investigate the Alcock-Paczynski effects of changing the assumed fiducial model on the results. Our techniques should prove useful for current and future galaxy surveys mapping the growth rate of structure using the 2-dimensional correlation function.
