用最大的全天巡天测绘宇宙网

Mapping the Cosmic Web with the largest all-sky surveys

Maciej Bilicki, John A. Peacock, Thomas H. Jarrett, Michelle E. Cluver, Louise Steward

摘要:

我们对低红移宇宙网的看法已经被星系红移调查如6dFGS,SDSS和2 MRS彻底改变。然而,深度和角度覆盖范围之间的权衡限制了对局部体积(z<0.05)之外的整个天空的系统三维账户。为了在整个天球上可靠地将宇宙映射到宇宙学意义上的深度,人们必须利用多波长数据集和最先进的光度红移技术。我们已经开展了一项专门的计划,交叉匹配最大的测光全天巡天-2 MASS,WISE和SuperCOSMOS -以获得数百万星系的准确红移估计。这些努力的第一个成果-2 MASS测光红移目录(2 MPZ,Bilicki et al. 2014 a)-已经公开发布,包括近100万个平均红移z=0.08的星系。在这里,我们总结了这个目录是如何构建的,以及如何使用WISE中红外样品与SuperCOSMOS光学数据一起使我们能够在前所未有的角尺度上推进z~0.2--0.3的红移壳层。我们的目录,总共有2000万个源,提供了对局部星系流(聚集偶极子,整体流)和与宇宙微波背景的交叉相关性研究至关重要的宇宙学卷的访问,如集成的萨克斯-沃尔夫效应或透镜研究。

英文摘要:

Our view of the low-redshift Cosmic Web has been revolutionized by galaxy redshift surveys such as 6dFGS, SDSS and 2MRS. However, the trade-off between depth and angular coverage limits a systematic three-dimensional account of the entire sky beyond the Local Volume (z<0.05). In order to reliably map the Universe to cosmologically significant depths over the full celestial sphere, one must draw on multiwavelength datasets and state-of-the-art photometric redshift techniques. We have undertaken a dedicated program of cross-matching the largest photometric all-sky surveys -- 2MASS, WISE and SuperCOSMOS -- to obtain accurate redshift estimates of millions of galaxies. The first outcome of these efforts -- the 2MASS Photometric Redshift catalog (2MPZ, Bilicki et al. 2014a) -- has been publicly released and includes almost 1 million galaxies with a mean redshift of z=0.08. Here we summarize how this catalog was constructed and how using the WISE mid-infrared sample together with SuperCOSMOS optical data allows us to push to redshift shells of z~0.2--0.3 on unprecedented angular scales. Our catalogs, with ~20 million sources in total, provide access to cosmological volumes crucial for studies of local galaxy flows (clustering dipole, bulk flow) and cross-correlations with the cosmic microwave background such as the integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect or lensing studies.
