用曲率统计测量高z星系际介质的物态方程

Measuring the equation of state of the high-z intergalactic medium using curvature statistics

Hamsa Padmanabhan, R. Srianand, T. Roy Choudhury

摘要:

利用流体动力学模拟,我们探索了利用曲率分布函数的平均值和平均值来恢复高$z$($2 < z < 4$)星系际介质(IGM)的状态方程。我们发现,绝对曲率分布的平均值和平均值与在每个红移的各个特征超密度$\barΔ_i$处测得的温度密切相关。因此,它们提供了相同的基本温度-密度分布的互补探针,并且原则上可以用于同时恢复IGM有效状态方程的两个参数$T_0$和$γ$。我们量化的恢复参数$T_0$和$γ$从固有的散射特性的超密度和曲率测量的不确定性的相关误差。

英文摘要:

Using hydrodynamical simulations, we explore the use of the mean and percentiles of the curvature distribution function to recover the equation of state of the high-$z$ ($2 < z < 4$) intergalactic medium (IGM). We find that the mean and percentiles of the absolute curvature distribution exhibit tight correlation with the temperatures measured at respective characteristic overdensities $\barΔ_i$'s at each redshift. Hence, they provide complementary probes of the same underlying temperature-density distribution, and can in principle be used to simultaneously recover both parameters $T_0$ and $γ$ of the IGM effective equation of state. We quantify the associated errors in the recovered parameters $T_0$ and $γ$ from the intrinsic scatter in the characteristic overdensities and the uncertainties in the curvature measurement.
