摘要:

利用WISE-2 MASS星表对大尺度结构(LSS)的各向异性进行了研究。这种分析是通过对整个天球的星系数计数进行方向性比较来进行的,一旦系统性影响,如恒星-星系分离和前景污染,得到了适当的考虑。我们发现了一个最大的半球不对称性,其偶极分量是$A = 0.0507 \pm 0.0014$朝向$(l,b) = (323^{\circ},-5^{\circ})$方向,其结果是一致的,与我们以前的估计,在低和中等红移的自行,与Ia型超新星和类似的LSS目录进行。此外,这个偶极振幅在统计上是一致的($p$ -值= $0.061$)与模拟目录模拟根据预期的$Λ$ CDM物质密度波动,除了观测偏差,如不完整的天体覆盖和各向异性的天空曝光。我们的研究结果表明,因此,有没有强有力的证据异常各向异性的LSS,考虑到目前的数据的局限性和系统性,在和谐模型的情况下。

英文摘要:

We probe the anisotropy of the large-scale structure (LSS) with the WISE-2MASS catalogue. This analysis is performed by a directional comparison of the galaxy number counts through the entire celestial sphere once systematic effects, such as star-galaxy separation and foregrounds contamination, are properly taken into account. We find a maximal hemispherical asymmetry whose dipolar component is $A = 0.0507 \pm 0.0014$ toward the $(l,b) = (323^{\circ},-5^{\circ})$ direction, whose result is consistent with previous estimations of our proper motion in low and intermediate redshifts, as those carried out with Type Ia Supernovae and similar LSS catalogues. Furthermore, this dipole amplitude is statistically consistent ($p$-value = $0.061$) with mock catalogues simulated according to the expected $Λ$CDM matter density fluctuations, in addition to observational biases such as the incomplete celestial coverage and anisotropic sky exposure. Our results suggest, therefore, that there is no strong evidence for anomalous anisotropy in the LSS, given the limitations and systematics of current data, in the concordance model scenario.
