Planck 2015极化的完全再电离约束

Complete Reionization Constraints from Planck 2015 Polarization

Chen He Heinrich, V Miranda, Wayne Hu

摘要:

我们对普朗克2015年的数据进行了分析,这些数据在红移范围$6 < z < 30$的大角度偏振$E$模式光谱中的再电离观测值中是完整的。基于5个主成分,所有这些都受到数据的约束,这个单一的分析可以用来推断在同一范围内的任何模型的再电离的约束,我们开发了一个有效的可能性方法,将这些约束模型。通过允许一个任意的电离历史,这种技术测试的鲁棒性的推断总的光学深度从通常的阶梯状过渡的假设,这是重要的许多其他宇宙学参数,如暗能量和中微子质量的解释。普朗克2015年的数据不仅允许高红移的$z>15$分量的光学深度,但更喜欢它在$2σ$水平。这种偏好与多极范围$10 \lesssim \ell \lesssim 20$中的过剩功率有关,可能表明高红移电离源或2015年数据中未考虑的系统和前景。

英文摘要:

We conduct an analysis of the Planck 2015 data that is complete in reionization observables from the large angle polarization $E$-mode spectrum in the redshift range $6 < z < 30$. Based on 5 principal components, all of which are constrained by the data, this single analysis can be used to infer constraints on any model for reionization in the same range; we develop an effective likelihood approach for applying these constraints to models. By allowing for an arbitrary ionization history, this technique tests the robustness of inferences on the total optical depth from the usual step-like transition assumption, which is important for the interpretation of many other cosmological parameters such as the dark energy and neutrino mass. The Planck 2015 data not only allow a high redshift $z>15$ component to the optical depth but prefer it at the $2σ$ level. This preference is associated with excess power in the multipole range $10 \lesssim \ell \lesssim 20$ and may indicate high redshift ionization sources or unaccounted for systematics and foregrounds in the 2015 data.
