摘要:

这是第一个系列文件,旨在调查星系形成和演化的巨空类的Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi(LTB)模型,最适合目前的宇宙学观测。在这里,我们调查的光度函数(LF)的方法,以及如何估计将受到宇宙学模型的变化,在其计算假设。目前的观测限制,允许宇宙学足以产生强大的LF结果?我们使用的远红外源目录建立在与赫歇尔/PACS仪器进行的观察,并选择作为PACS进化探测器(PEP)调查的一部分。Schechter配置文件中获得的红移箱z约4,假设在两个标准模型,即弗里德曼-勒梅特-罗伯逊-沃克度量与一个完美的流体能量动量张量,和非均匀的LTB尘埃模型,参数化,以适应当前的组合的结果来自超新星Ia的观测,宇宙微波背景,重子声波振荡共动体积。我们发现,假设标准模型和LTB空洞模型计算的光度函数一般表现出良好的协议。然而,在空洞模型中的暗端斜率显示出显着偏离标准模型红移0.4。我们证明,这一结果是不是人为造成的LF估计,原来是强大的下的差异,在物质-能量密度配置文件的模型。在暗端的LF斜率中发现的差异是由于源的光度的变化,这取决于模型的几何部分。由此可见,要么是标准模型高估了微弱源的数密度,要么是空洞模型低估了它。

英文摘要:

This is the first paper of a series aiming at investigating galaxy formation and evolution in the giant-void class of the Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) models that best fits current cosmological observations. Here we investigate the Luminosity Function (LF) methodology, and how its estimates would be affected by a change on the cosmological model assumed in its computation. Are the current observational constraints on the allowed Cosmology enough to yield robust LF results? We use the far-infrared source catalogues built on the observations performed with the Herschel/PACS instrument, and selected as part of the PACS evolutionary probe (PEP) survey. Schechter profiles are obtained in redshift bins up to z approximately 4, assuming comoving volumes in both the standard model, that is, Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker metric with a perfect fluid energy-momentum tensor, and non-homogeneous LTB dust models, parametrized to fit the current combination of results stemming from the observations of supernovae Ia, the cosmic microwave background, and baryonic acoustic oscillations. We find that the luminosity functions computed assuming both the standard model and LTB void models show in general good agreement. However, the faint-end slope in the void models shows a significant departure from the standard model up to redshift 0.4. We demonstrate that this result is not artificially caused by the used LF estimator which turns out to be robust under the differences in matter-energy density profiles of the models. The differences found in the LF slopes at the faint end are due to variation in the luminosities of the sources, which depend on the geometrical part of the model. It follows that either the standard model is over-estimating the number density of faint sources or the void models are under-estimating it.
