摘要:

我们利用Palanque-Delabrouille et al.(2013)从SDSS-III/BOSS测量的一维Ly $α$ -forest功率谱,辅以Planck 2015宇宙微波背景(CMB)数据和其他宇宙学探测器,给出了中微子质量、暴胀产生的原初涨落谱和$Λ$ CDM模型的其他参数的约束。本文改进了Palanque-Delabrouille等人(2015)之前的分析,通过使用一组更强大的校准流体动力学模拟来减少与分辨率和盒子大小相关的不确定性,通过采用一组更灵活的滋扰参数来描述星系际介质的演变,通过包括额外的自由度来考虑系统不确定性,用Planck 2015来代替Planck 2013。拟合Ly $α$数据单独导致的宇宙学参数与来自CMB数据独立的值非常一致,除了弱张力的标量指数$n_s$。将BOSS Ly $α$和Planck CMB结合起来,中微子质量之和被限制在$\sum m_ν< 0.12$ eV(95\%C. L.)包括所有确定的系统不确定性,比我们以前的限制(0.15 eV)更严格,更强大。将Ly $α$数据加入到CMB数据中,通过$τ$与$σ_8$的相关性,降低了再电离$τ$光学深度的不确定性。类似地,宇宙学参数之间的相关性有助于限制原初涨落$r$的张量-标量比。$n_s$上的张力可以通过允许运行${\mathrm d}n_s/{\mathrm d}\ln k$来调节。允许在拟合中作为自由参数运行不会更改$\sum m_ν$上的限制。我们讨论了可能的解释,这些结果的背景下,缓慢滚动的通货膨胀。

英文摘要:

We present constraints on neutrino masses, the primordial fluctuation spectrum from inflation, and other parameters of the $Λ$CDM model, using the one-dimensional Ly$α$-forest power spectrum measured by Palanque-Delabrouille et al. (2013) from SDSS-III/BOSS, complemented by Planck 2015 cosmic microwave background (CMB) data and other cosmological probes. This paper improves on the previous analysis by Palanque-Delabrouille et al. (2015) by using a more powerful set of calibrating hydrodynamical simulations that reduces uncertainties associated with resolution and box size, by adopting a more flexible set of nuisance parameters for describing the evolution of the intergalactic medium, by including additional freedom to account for systematic uncertainties, and by using Planck 2015 constraints in place of Planck 2013. Fitting Ly$α$ data alone leads to cosmological parameters in excellent agreement with the values derived independently from CMB data, except for a weak tension on the scalar index $n_s$. Combining BOSS Ly$α$ with Planck CMB constrains the sum of neutrino masses to $\sum m_ν< 0.12$ eV (95\% C.L.) including all identified systematic uncertainties, tighter than our previous limit (0.15 eV) and more robust. Adding Ly$α$ data to CMB data reduces the uncertainties on the optical depth to reionization $τ$, through the correlation of $τ$ with $σ_8$. Similarly, correlations between cosmological parameters help in constraining the tensor-to-scalar ratio of primordial fluctuations $r$. The tension on $n_s$ can be accommodated by allowing for a running ${\mathrm d}n_s/{\mathrm d}\ln k$. Allowing running as a free parameter in the fits does not change the limit on $\sum m_ν$. We discuss possible interpretations of these results in the context of slow-roll inflation.
