类星体作为遥远宇宙大尺度结构的示踪剂

Quasars as a tracer of large-scale structures in the distant universe

Hyunmi Song, Changbom Park, Heidi Lietzen, Maret Einasto

摘要:

利用目前最大的类星体和星系光谱数据集,研究了类星体的数密度和性质对背景星系密度的依赖关系。利用斯隆数字巡天(SDSS)数据发布12(DR 12)恒定质量(CMASS)星系,在$0.46<z<0.59$的红移范围内,构造了一个在约10 ~ $20\,h^{-1}$ Mpc的可变平滑尺度上平滑的星系数密度场.类星体样品是从SDSS I/II DR 7中制备的。我们研究了类星体的入射与大尺度背景密度的相关性以及类星体的性质如热光度、黑洞质量和爱丁顿比对大尺度密度的依赖性。我们发现类星体数密度与大尺度星系数密度之间存在单调的相关关系,且符合幂律关系$n_Q\proptoρ_G^{0.618}$。我们探测到类星体的性质对大尺度密度的弱依赖性,如黑洞质量与密度之间的正相关,以及光度与密度之间的负相关。讨论了类星体作为高红移大尺度结构示踪剂的可能性,这对高红移宇宙结构生长的研究可能是有用的。

英文摘要:

We study the dependence of the number density and properties of quasars on the background galaxy density using the currently largest spectroscopic datasets of quasars and galaxies. We construct a galaxy number density field smoothed over the variable smoothing scale of between approximately 10 and $20\,h^{-1}$Mpc over the redshift range of $0.46<z<0.59$ using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 12 (DR12) Constant MASS (CMASS) galaxies. The quasar sample is prepared from the SDSS I/II DR7. We examine the correlation of incidence of quasars with the large-scale background density and dependence of quasar properties such as bolometric luminosity, black hole mass, and Eddington ratio on the large-scale density. We find a monotonic correlation between the quasar number density and large-scale galaxy number density, which is fitted well with a power law relation, $n_Q\proptoρ_G^{0.618}$. We detect weak dependences of quasar properties on the large-scale density such as a positive correlation between black hole mass and density, and a negative correlation between luminosity and density. We discuss the possibility of using quasars as a tracer of large-scale structures at high redshifts, which may be useful for studies of growth of structures in the high redshift universe.
