摘要:

我们提出的约束的星系际介质(IGM)在z=8.4的动力学温度,并在模型上加热IGM在高红移与X射线发射的第一个崩溃的对象。这些约束条件是用半解析方法推导出来的,以探索唐纳德C。Backer Precision Array for Probing the Epoch of Reionization(PAPER),在Ali et al.(2015)的配套论文中提出。如果IGM的动力学温度显著低于宇宙微波背景(CMB)的温度,一般可以产生振幅为数百mK ^2的21 cm功率谱;因此,PAPER的新结果将IGM温度的下限定在z=8.4。考虑到IGM的未知电离状态,我们的测量发现IGM温度对于10%和85%之间的中性部分高于~5 K,对于15%和80%之间的中性部分高于~7 K,或者对于30%和70%之间的中性部分高于~10 K。我们还计算了加热的IGM,将提供所观察到的高红移星系人口,并发现,对于大多数模型,这些星系足以使IGM温度高于我们的下限。然而,有显着范围的参数空间,可以产生一个信号排除了PAPER测量;模型与陡峭的下降,在恒星形成率密度在高红移或相对较低的价值观的X射线恒星形成率效率的高红移星系通常是不受欢迎的。的纸测量是一致的(但不约束)的氢自旋温度高于CMB温度,这种情况下,我们发现一般预测,如果星系暗于目前的检测极限的光学/近红外测量包括在计算中的X射线加热。

英文摘要:

We present constraints on both the kinetic temperature of the intergalactic medium (IGM) at z=8.4, and on models for heating the IGM at high-redshift with X-ray emission from the first collapsed objects. These constraints are derived using a semi-analytic method to explore the new measurements of the 21 cm power spectrum from the Donald C. Backer Precision Array for Probing the Epoch of Reionization (PAPER), which were presented in a companion paper, Ali et al. (2015). Twenty-one cm power spectra with amplitudes of hundreds of mK^2 can be generically produced if the kinetic temperature of the IGM is significantly below the temperature of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB); as such, the new results from PAPER place lower limits on the IGM temperature at z=8.4. Allowing for the unknown ionization state of the IGM, our measurements find the IGM temperature to be above ~5 K for neutral fractions between 10% and 85%, above ~7 K for neutral fractions between 15% and 80%, or above ~10 K for neutral fractions between 30% and 70%. We also calculate the heating of the IGM that would be provided by the observed high redshift galaxy population, and find that for most models, these galaxies are sufficient to bring the IGM temperature above our lower limits. However, there are significant ranges of parameter space that could produce a signal ruled out by the PAPER measurements; models with a steep drop-off in the star formation rate density at high redshifts or with relatively low values for the X-ray to star formation rate efficiency of high redshift galaxies are generally disfavored. The PAPER measurements are consistent with (but do not constrain) a hydrogen spin temperature above the CMB temperature, a situation which we find to be generally predicted if galaxies fainter than the current detection limits of optical/NIR surveys are included in calculations of X-ray heating.
