Exploring the properties of milliarcsecond radio sources

摘要:

在宇宙学上应用“红移-角尺寸”检验需要知道所用“标准棒”的线性尺寸。本文研究了Gurvits等人编制的一个在6厘米和20厘米处测量流量密度的140毫角秒致密射电源的大样本的性质。(1999年)。利用Planck/WMAP 9观测给出的最佳拟合宇宙学参数,研究了特征长度$l_m$及其对源光度$L$和红移$l_m=l L^β(1+z)^n$的依赖性.对于完整样本,角度尺寸$θ$的测量对线性尺寸参数提供了严格的约束。我们发现,宇宙学演化的线性尺寸是小的($|n|\simeq 10^{-2}$),与以前的分析一致。然而,仍然需要线性尺寸随光度的实质性演变($β\simeq 0.17$)。此外,对不同源光学对应物和不同红移范围定义的子样本进行的类似分析似乎支持用不同策略处理射电星系和类星体的方案。最后,讨论了一种与宇宙模型无关的方法来研究毫弧秒射电类星体的角尺寸特性。利用修正后的类星体样品的红移-角尺寸关系,我们得到了空间平坦$Λ$ CDM宇宙学中物质密度参数$Ω_m=0.292^{+0.065}_{-0.090}$的一个值。

英文摘要:

Cosmological applications of the "redshift - angular size" test require knowledge of the linear size of the "standard rod" used. In this paper, we study the properties of a large sample of 140 milliarcsecond compact radio sources with flux densities measured at 6 cm and 20 cm, compiled by Gurvits et al.(1999). Using the best-fitted cosmological parameters given by Planck/WMAP9 observations, we investigate the characteristic length $l_m$ as well as its dependence on the source luminosity $L$ and redshift $l_m=l L^β(1+z)^n$. For the full sample, measurements of the angular size $θ$ provide a tight constraint on the linear size parameters. We find that cosmological evolution of the linear size is small ($|n|\simeq 10^{-2}$) and consistent with previous analysis. However, a substantial evolution of linear sizes with luminosity is still required ($β\simeq 0.17$). Furthermore, similar analysis done on sub-samples defined by different source optical counterparts and different redshift ranges, seems to support the scheme of treating radio galaxies and quasars with distinct strategies. Finally, a cosmological-model-independent method is discussed to probe the properties of angular size of milliarcsecond radio quasars. Using the corrected redshift - angular size relation for quasar sample, we obtained a value of the matter density parameter, $Ω_m=0.292^{+0.065}_{-0.090}$, in the spatially flat $Λ$CDM cosmology.
