模拟局域宇宙的结构形成

Simulating Structure Formation of the Local Universe

Steffen Heß, Francisco-Shu Kitaura, Stefan Gottloeber

摘要:

在这项工作中,我们提出了宇宙学N体模拟的本地宇宙的初始条件约束的两微米红移调查(2 MRS)在立方体积内的180 Mpc/h的边长在本地组为中心。我们使用一个自洽贝叶斯为基础的方法来探索联合参数空间的原始密度波动和奇特的速度场,这是兼容的宇宙演化后的2 MRS星系分布。该方法(KIGEN代码)包括新的ALPT(增广拉格朗日摄动理论)结构形成模型,该模型将大尺度上的二阶LPT(2LPT)与小尺度上的球形塌陷模型相结合。此外,我们用2LPT描述相干流,并包括一个色散项来模拟上帝的手指(雾)。这些实现对于避免人为的伪结构至关重要,这些伪结构在使用具有2LPT的结构形成模型和具有压缩雾的数据时出现。我们假设LCDM宇宙学在我们的方法。恢复的初始高斯场用于执行一组25个约束模拟。从统计学上讲,这套模拟与一组参考的25个模拟相一致,这些模拟是基于随机播种的高斯波动的物质统计,功率谱和质量函数。在考虑整个体积的情况下,在高斯平滑尺度rS = 3.5Mpc/h下,模拟的密度场与对数空间中的星系密度场的相关系数约为98.3%(当rS = 1.4Mpc/h时,相关系数为74%)。互功率谱显示了与星系分布的相关性,这种相关性朝着更小的长度尺度减弱,直到它们在2.2-3.0 Mpc/h的尺度上消失。我们提出的模拟提供了一个完全非线性的密度和速度场与观测到的星系分布在几个百万秒差距的尺度上的高度相关性。

英文摘要:

In this work we present cosmological N-body simulations of the Local Universe with initial conditions constrained by the Two-Micron Redshift Survey (2MRS) within a cubic volume of 180 Mpc/h side-length centred at the Local Group. We use a self-consistent Bayesian based approach to explore the joint parameter space of primordial density fluctuations and peculiar velocity fields, which are compatible with the 2MRS galaxy distribution after cosmic evolution. This method (the KIGEN-code) includes the novel ALPT (Augmented Lagrangian Perturbation Theory) structure formation model which combines second order LPT (2LPT) on large scales with the spherical collapse model on small scales. Furthermore we describe coherent flows with 2LPT and include a dispersion term to model fingers-of-god (fogs). These implementations are crucial to avoid artificial filamentary structures, which appear when using a structure formation model with 2LPT and data with compressed fogs. We assume LCDM cosmology throughout our method. The recovered initial Gaussian fields are used to perform a set of 25 constrained simulations. Statistically this ensemble of simulations is in agreement with a reference set of 25 simulations based on randomly seeded Gaussian fluctuations in terms of matter statistics, power-spectra and mass functions. Considering the entire volume, we obtain correlation coefficients of about 98.3% for the comparison between the simulated density fields and the galaxy density field in log-space with Gaussian smoothing scales of r_S=3.5 Mpc/h (74% for r_S=1.4 Mpc/h). The cross power-spectra show correlations with the galaxy distribution which weaken towards smaller length scales until they vanish at scales of 2.2-3.0 Mpc/h. The simulations we present provide a fully nonlinear density and velocity field with a high level of correlation with the observed galaxy distribution at scales of a few Mpc.
