通过radio telescopes星系红移巡天探测暗能量的性质

Probing the nature of dark energy through galaxy redshift surveys with radio telescopes

Alan R. Duffy

摘要:

利用光学望远镜进行的星系红移观测,与其他宇宙学探测器相结合,使得精确测量暗能量的性质成为可能。我们表明,射电望远镜正在迅速成为具有竞争力的光学设施在光谱调查的大量星系。两个突破正在推动这一变化。首先,由于新相控阵馈源的大视场,单个射电望远镜在绘制天空图方面更有效。其次,越来越多的盘子可以以具有成本效益的方式与计算能力的快速增长相关联。在接下来的十年里,21厘米无线电波长将作为宇宙学探测器,首先是探路者,然后最终是平方公里阵列的建造。后者将确定10亿个星系的精确3D位置,绘制过去120亿年来宇宙中物质的分布。这台射电望远镜将能够限制暗能量的状态方程及其潜在的演化,其精度可与未来的光学设施(如DESI和Euclid)相媲美。

英文摘要:

Galaxy redshift surveys using optical telescopes have, in combination with other cosmological probes, enabled precision measurements of the nature of dark energy. We show that radio telescopes are rapidly becoming competitive with optical facilities in spectroscopic surveys of large numbers of galaxies. Two breakthroughs are driving this change. Firstly, individual radio telescopes are more efficient at mapping the sky thanks to the large field-of-view of new phased-array feeds. Secondly, ever more dishes can be correlated in a cost-effective manner with rapid increases in computing power. The next decade will see the coming of age of the 21cm radio wavelength as a cosmological probe as first the Pathfinders then, ultimately, the Square Kilometre Array is constructed. The latter will determine precise 3D positions for a billion galaxies, mapping the distribution of matter in the Universe over the last 12 billion years. This radio telescope will be able to constrain the equation of state of dark energy, and its potential evolution, to a precision rivalling that of future optical facilities such as DESI and Euclid.
