摘要:

我们在斯隆数字巡天的135,000对发光红星系(LRGs)之间寻找大质量细丝的透镜信号。我们开发了一种新的估计,干净地删除了更大的剪切信号的相邻LRG晕,只依赖于假设的球对称。我们考虑两种模型:一个是由$Λ$ CDM模型的射线追踪模拟构造的粗灯丝模型,另一个是由沿两个LRG连线的一串晕线模拟灯丝的细灯丝模型。我们表明,灯丝透镜信号是在很好的协议与厚模拟灯丝,而强烈不利于薄模型。由灯丝引起的透镜剪切的大小低于$10^{-4}$。采用似然比检验,我们发现一个4.5 $σ$的灯丝透镜信号的检测意义,对应于一个零假设波动概率$3 \times 10^{-6}$。我们还进行了几个零测试,以验证来自邻近LRG和其他剪切系统的残余剪切信号被最小化。

英文摘要:

We search for the lensing signal of massive filaments between 135,000 pairs of Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We develop a new estimator that cleanly removes the much larger shear signal of the neighboring LRG halos, relying only on the assumption of spherical symmetry. We consider two models: a thick filament model constructed from ray-tracing simulations for $Λ$CDM model, and a thin filament model which models the filament by a string of halos along the line connecting the two LRGs. We show that the filament lensing signal is in nice agreement with the thick simulation filament, while strongly disfavoring the thin model. The magnitude of the lensing shear due to the filament is below $10^{-4}$. Employing the likelihood ratio test, we find a 4.5$σ$ significance for the detection of the filament lensing signal, corresponding to a null hypothesis fluctuation probability of $3 \times 10^{-6}$. We also carried out several null tests to verify that the residual shear signal from neighboring LRGs and other shear systematics are minimized.
