摘要:

我们提出了一个宇宙学的标准模型,$Λ$冷暗物质($Λ$ CDM),和两个替代的宇宙学模型之间的空洞属性的比较与发展和相互作用的暗扇区:一个精粹模型($ϕ$ CDM)和耦合暗物质-暗能量(CDE)模型。使用这些模型的$N$体模拟,我们得到了几个措施的空隙统计和属性,包括分布的空隙体积,椭圆率,prolateness,和平均密度。我们发现,来自CDE模拟的体积分布偏离来自$Λ$ CDM模拟的体积分布,在当今的宇宙,这表明存在一个耦合的暗扇区可以通过这个统计观察。我们还发现,分布的空洞椭圆率和prolateness实际上是难以区分的三个模型在红移范围$z=0.0-1.0$,表明简单的空洞形状统计是不敏感的暗扇区物理的微小变化。有趣的是,我们发现在三个模拟中的每一个中测量的平均空隙密度的分布是彼此不同的。特别地,平均而言,空隙在精粹模型下趋于最空,而在$Λ$ CDM模型下趋于最小。我们的研究结果表明,这是标量场存在于两种替代模型,导致空的空洞形成,而暗区的耦合减缓了物质从空洞疏散这种影响。

英文摘要:

We present a comparison of void properties between the standard model of cosmology, $Λ$ Cold Dark Matter ($Λ$CDM), and two alternative cosmological models with evolving and interacting dark sectors: a quintessence model ($ϕ$CDM) and a Coupled Dark Matter-Dark Energy (CDE) model. Using $N$-body simulations of these models, we derive several measures of void statistics and properties, including distributions of void volume, ellipticity, prolateness, and average density. We find that the volume distribution derived from the CDE simulation deviates from the volume distribution derived from the $Λ$CDM simulation in the present-day universe, suggesting that the presence of a coupled dark sector could be observable through this statistic. We also find that the distributions of void ellipticity and prolateness are practically indistinguishable among the three models over the redshift range $z=0.0-1.0$, indicating that simple void shape statistics are insensitive to small changes in dark sector physics. Interestingly, we find that the distributions of average void density measured in each of the three simulations are distinct from each other. In particular, voids on average tend to be emptiest under a quintessence model, and densest under the $Λ$CDM model. Our results suggest that it is the scalar field present in both alternative models that causes emptier voids to form, while the coupling of the dark sector mitigates this effect by slowing down the evacuation of matter from voids.
