摘要:

莱曼α森林功率谱已经在SDSS-III的BOSS巡天在$z\sim 2.3$上进行了大尺度测量,并与线性理论的预测相吻合,并且首次测量了该红移下的重子声学振荡。然而,在小尺度上的功率,受非线性的影响,到目前为止还没有得到很好的研究。我们目前的结果,从各种流体动力学模拟预测的红移空间的非线性功率谱的莱曼阿尔法传输几个模型,测试的依赖分辨率和盒子的大小。一个新的拟合公式,以方便比较我们的模拟结果与观测和其他模拟。非线性功率谱具有由从线性到非线性各向异性的过渡尺度和功率在其以下快速下降的Jeans尺度确定的通用形状。此外,我们预测了莱曼阿尔法森林的两个线性偏差因子,并提供了一个更好的物理解释,他们的价值和红移的演变。这些偏置因子和非线性功率的依赖关系的原始起伏功率谱的振幅和斜率,星系际介质的温度-密度关系,平均莱曼α传输,以及红移的演变,进行了详细的调查和讨论。与观测结果的初步比较表明,预测的红移畸变参数与Blomqvist等人最近的测定结果吻合得很好,但密度偏差因子低于观察到的。我们使我们所有的结果公开的非线性功率谱,这是直接从我们所有的模拟,我们的拟合公式和参数的表格的形式。

英文摘要:

The Lyman alpha forest power spectrum has been measured on large scales by the BOSS survey in SDSS-III at $z\sim 2.3$, has been shown to agree well with linear theory predictions, and has provided the first measurement of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations at this redshift. However, the power at small scales, affected by non-linearities, has not been well examined so far. We present results from a variety of hydrodynamic simulations to predict the redshift space non-linear power spectrum of the Lyman Alpha transmission for several models, testing the dependence on resolution and box size. A new fitting formula is introduced to facilitate the comparison of our simulation results with observations and other simulations. The non-linear power spectrum has a generic shape determined by a transition scale from linear to non-linear anisotropy, and a Jeans scale below which the power drops rapidly. In addition, we predict the two linear bias factors of the Lyman Alpha forest and provide a better physical interpretation of their values and redshift evolution. The dependence of these bias factors and the non-linear power on the amplitude and slope of the primordial fluctuations power spectrum, the temperature-density relation of the intergalactic medium, and the mean Lyman Alpha transmission, as well as the redshift evolution, is investigated and discussed in detail. A preliminary comparison to the observations shows that the predicted redshift distortion parameter is in good agreement with the recent determination of Blomqvist et al., but the density bias factor is lower than observed. We make all our results publicly available in the form of tables of the non-linear power spectrum that is directly obtained from all our simulations, and parameters of our fitting formula.
