用Ly $α$层析术改善光度红移

Improving photometric redshifts with Ly$α$ tomography

Marcel Schmittfull, Martin White

摘要:

形成宇宙的三维视图是天文观测的长期目标,并且在高红移时变得越来越困难。本文讨论了如何利用$z\simeq 2.5$的星系际介质层析成像,根据背景星系的光谱,估算宇宙大体积中大质量星系的红移。我们的方法是基于这样一个事实,即层次结构的形成导致了强烈的依赖性的晕密度大规模的环境。因此,后者的地图可以用来完善我们对晕和它们所在的星系和活动星系核的红移的认识。我们表明,断层图像的IGM在$2.5\,h^{-1}$ Mpc的分辨率可以确定超过90%的大质量星系的红移与红移的不确定性$Δz/(1+z)=0.01$。更高分辨率的地图允许这样的红移估计较低质量的星系和晕。

英文摘要:

Forming a three dimensional view of the Universe is a long-standing goal of astronomical observations, and one that becomes increasingly difficult at high redshift. In this paper we discuss how tomography of the intergalactic medium (IGM) at $z\simeq 2.5$ can be used to estimate the redshifts of massive galaxies in a large volume of the Universe based on spectra of galaxies in their background. Our method is based on the fact that hierarchical structure formation leads to a strong dependence of the halo density on large-scale environment. A map of the latter can thus be used to refine our knowledge of the redshifts of halos and the galaxies and AGN which they host. We show that tomographic maps of the IGM at a resolution of $2.5\,h^{-1}$Mpc can determine the redshifts of more than 90 per cent of massive galaxies with redshift uncertainty $Δz/(1+z)=0.01$. Higher resolution maps allow such redshift estimation for lower mass galaxies and halos.
