作为潜在CMB极化污染物的CO分子谱线发射的三维模型

A 3D model for CO molecular line emission as a potential CMB polarization contaminant

Giuseppe Puglisi, Giulio Fabbian, Carlo Baccigalupi

摘要:

考虑到分子云在不同几何性质星系中的三维空间分布,提出了一个模拟分子云中一氧化碳(CO)转动谱线发射的模型。实施的模型是基于最近的结果在文献中,并已被设计用于执行蒙特卡罗模拟这种排放。我们比较与此模型产生的模拟和校准,无论是在地图上的水平和功率谱水平,使用第二次发布的数据从普朗克卫星的银河平面,其中的信噪比是最高的。我们使用校准模型外推的CO功率谱在低银河系纬度没有高灵敏度的观测。然后,我们预测的水平,从CO分子云,这可能会污染的功率谱的宇宙微波背景(CMB)偏振B-模式远离银河系平面的未解决的偏振发射。假设现实水平的极化分数,我们表明,污染的水平相当于一个宇宙信号与$r \lesssim 0.02$。实现该模型的Monte-Carlo分子谱线发射(MCMole 3D)Python包正在公开提供。

英文摘要:

We present a model for simulating Carbon Monoxide (CO) rotational line emission in molecular clouds, taking account of their 3D spatial distribution in galaxies with different geometrical properties. The model implemented is based on recent results in the literature and has been designed for performing Monte-Carlo simulations of this emission. We compare the simulations produced with this model and calibrate them, both on the map level and on the power spectrum level, using the second release of data from the Planck satellite for the Galactic plane, where the signal-to-noise ratio is highest. We use the calibrated model to extrapolate the CO power spectrum at low Galactic latitudes where no high sensitivity observations are available yet. We then forecast the level of unresolved polarized emission from CO molecular clouds which could contaminate the power spectrum of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarization B-modes away from the Galactic plane. Assuming realistic levels of the polarization fraction, we show that the level of contamination is equivalent to a cosmological signal with $r \lesssim 0.02$. The Monte-Carlo MOlecular Line Emission (MCMole3D) Python package, which implements this model, is being made publicly available.
