提高标准:用z $\sim$ 2的宇宙计时器对哈勃参数的新约束

Raising the bar: new constraints on the Hubble parameter with cosmic chronometers at z$\sim$2

Michele Moresco

摘要:

现代宇宙学最引人注目的任务之一是限制宇宙的膨胀历史,因为这种测量可以让我们了解暗能量的本质,并有助于估计宇宙学参数。本文介绍了用宇宙计时器方法在$z\sim2$附近获得的哈勃参数H(z)的两个新的测量结果。利用文献中在$z>1.4$观测到的几个超大质量被动星系的近红外光谱,用不同的恒星星族合成模型来估计和校准该星族的差分演化,以限制H(z),包括在最终的误差预算中所有可能的系统不确定性来源(恒星形成历史,恒星金属丰度,模型依赖性)。这一分析能够显着扩大红移范围的覆盖范围,相对于当今的限制,第一次跨越限制在$z\sim1.75$。新的H(z)数据被用来估计增益的宇宙学参数相对于以前的测量在两个宇宙学模型,发现一个小的,但可检测的改善($\sim$ 5%),特别是在$Ω_{M}$和$w_{0}$。最后,模拟了一个类似欧几里德的调查,以预测未来数据的预期改善。所提供的约束已经得到了宇宙计时器的方法,没有任何额外的数据,结果表明,这种方法的高潜力,以约束宇宙的膨胀历史在这些红移。

英文摘要:

One of the most compelling tasks of modern cosmology is to constrain the expansion history of the Universe, since this measurement can give insights on the nature of dark energy and help to estimate cosmological parameters. In this letter are presented two new measurements of the Hubble parameter H(z) obtained with the cosmic chronometer method up to $z\sim2$. Taking advantage of near-infrared spectroscopy of the few very massive and passive galaxies observed at $z>1.4$ available in literature, the differential evolution of this population is estimated and calibrated with different stellar population synthesis models to constrain H(z), including in the final error budget all possible sources of systematic uncertainties (star formation history, stellar metallicity, model dependencies). This analysis is able to extend significantly the redshift range coverage with respect to present-day constraints, crossing for the first time the limit at $z\sim1.75$. The new H(z) data are used to estimate the gain in accuracy on cosmological parameters with respect to previous measurements in two cosmological models, finding a small but detectable improvement ($\sim$5 %) in particular on $Ω_{M}$ and $w_{0}$. Finally, a simulation of a Euclid-like survey has been performed to forecast the expected improvement with future data. The provided constraints have been obtained just with the cosmic chronometers approach, without any additional data, and the results show the high potentiality of this method to constrain the expansion history of the Universe at these redshifts.
