普朗克完整任务数据中局部布里渊星系的热叠加SZ信号:星系反馈的证据?

The Stacked Thermal SZ Signal of Locally Brightest Galaxies in Planck Full Mission Data: Evidence for Galaxy Feedback?

Johnny P. Greco, J. Colin Hill, David N. Spergel, Nicholas Battaglia

摘要:

我们使用普朗克完整的任务温度图来检查堆叠的热Sunyaev Zel 'dovich(tSZ)信号的188042“本地最亮的星系”(LBG)从斯隆数字巡天数据发布7。我们的LBG样本与Planck Collaboration XI(2013,PCXI)的样本非常匹配,但我们的分析在几个方面有所不同。我们直接根据物理上可观察到的量进行工作,对气体压力分布的假设最少。我们明确地模拟每个LBG的尘埃排放,同时测量堆叠的tSZ和尘埃信号作为恒星质量$M_*$的函数。在堆叠的tSZ测量中有一个小的残余偏差;我们测量这个偏差并从我们的结果中减去它,发现在LBG样品中的最低质量处,这种影响是不可忽略的。最后,我们将我们的测量结果与两个压力曲线模型进行比较,发现Battaglia等人(2012 b)的曲线比Arnaud等人(2010)的"通用压力曲线"更适合结果。“然而,在不确定性中,我们发现数据与质量的自相似缩放一致-需要更精确的测量来检测这些模型预测的自相似性的相对较小的偏差。与PCXI相一致,我们测量了从恒星质量低至$\log_{10}(M_*/M_{\odot}) \sim 11.1-11.3$的LBG的堆叠tSZ信号。然而,对于较低的恒星质量,我们没有看到堆叠的tSZ信号的证据。我们注意到,堆积的尘埃排放与$\log_{10}(M_*/M_{\odot}) \lesssim 11.3$的堆积的tSZ信号相当或更大。未来的tSZ分析与更大的样本和更低的噪声水平应该能够探测偏离自相似性,从而提供约束模型的反馈和演化的热晕气体在宇宙时间。

英文摘要:

We use the Planck full mission temperature maps to examine the stacked thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) signal of 188042 "locally brightest galaxies'" (LBGs) selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7. Our LBG sample closely matches that of Planck Collaboration XI (2013, PCXI) but our analysis differs in several ways. We work directly in terms of physically observable quantities, requiring minimal assumptions about the gas pressure profile. We explicitly model the dust emission from each LBG and simultaneously measure both the stacked tSZ and dust signals as a function of stellar mass $M_*$. There is a small residual bias in stacked tSZ measurements; we measure this bias and subtract it from our results, finding that the effects are non-negligible at the lowest masses in the LBG sample. Finally, we compare our measurements with two pressure profile models, finding that the profile from Battaglia et al. (2012b) provides a better fit to the results than the Arnaud et al. (2010) "universal pressure profile." However, within the uncertainties, we find that the data are consistent with a self-similar scaling with mass --- more precise measurements are needed to detect the relatively small deviations from self-similarity predicted by these models. Consistent with PCXI, we measure the stacked tSZ signal from LBGs with stellar masses down to $\log_{10}(M_*/M_{\odot}) \sim 11.1-11.3$. For lower stellar masses, however, we do not see evidence for a stacked tSZ signal. We note that the stacked dust emission is comparable to, or larger than, the stacked tSZ signal for $\log_{10}(M_*/M_{\odot}) \lesssim 11.3$. Future tSZ analyses with larger samples and lower noise levels should be able to probe deviations from self-similarity and thus provide constraints on models of feedback and the evolution of hot halo gas over cosmic time.
