Galileon理论下弱透镜修正的可探测性

Detectability of Weak Lensing Modifications under Galileon Theories

Youngsoo Park, Mark Wyman

摘要:

修正引力理论试图在不引入宇宙学常数的情况下,通过解释我们宇宙的加速膨胀,在最大和最小尺度上协调物理学。其中一类理论被称为伽利略理论,它预测了球对称物体(如暗物质晕)的透镜效应潜力,在5%的水平上得到类似特征的修改。随着下一代光度测量的出现,这种修改可以作为修改重力的新探测器。假设一个LSST的基准数据集,我们产生的LCDM和Galileon的情况下,晕剪切功率谱,并进行Fisher分析,包括宇宙学,滋扰,和Galileon参数研究上述修改的可检测性。以LCDM方案作为我们的零假设,我们的结论是,如果存在的话,可以检测到高达4-σ的伽利略修正,或者强烈排除模型的非检测,具有四个红移箱和四个质量箱的层析成像,LSST样的测量参数集,以及宇宙学参数的普朗克先验。

英文摘要:

Theories of modified gravity attempt to reconcile physics at the largest and the smallest scales by explaining the accelerated expansion of our universe without introducing the cosmological constant. One class of such theories, known as Galileon theories, predict lensing potentials of spherically symmetric bodies, such as dark matter halos, to receive a feature-like modification at the 5% level. With the advent of next-generation photometric surveys, such modifications can serve as novel probes of modified gravity. Assuming an LSST-like fiducial dataset, we produce halo-shear power spectra for LCDM and Galileon scenarios, and perform a Fisher analysis including cosmological, nuisance, and Galileon parameters to study the detectability of the aforementioned modifications. With the LCDM scenario as our null hypothesis, we conclude that it is possible to detect the Galileon modifications at up to 4-σ if present, or strongly exclude the model in a non-detection, with a tomography of four redshift bins and four mass bins, an LSST-like set of survey parameters, and Planck priors on cosmological parameters.
