宇宙切变对失踪的低质量星系(卫星)问题的影响

Implications for the missing low-mass galaxies (satellites) problem from cosmic shear

Raul Jimenez, Licia Verde, Thomas D. Kitching

摘要:

在银河系或仙女座星系中观测到的暗物质质量为$\lesssim 10^{11}$ M $_{\odot}$的矮星系的数量与成功的$Λ$ CDM范式的预测不一致。为了缓解这个问题,抑制暗物质集群的权力在非常小的尺度上已被证实。然而,在我们的近邻(本星系群)之外的暗物质晕的丰度似乎与$Λ$ CDM--预期的丰度一致。在这里,我们将这些问题与弱透镜宇宙剪切的观测联系起来,指出宇宙剪切可以以统计的方式对失踪卫星问题做出重要的陈述。作为一个例子和教学应用程序,我们使用最近的限制小规模的功率抑制CFHTLenS数据的测量。我们发现,平均而言,在一个区域的$\sim $ Gpc $^3$没有显着的小规模的功率抑制。这意味着,抑制小尺度功率不是解决“卫星失踪问题”的可行办法,或者,平均而言,在本卷中,对于暗物质质量$\gtrsim 5 \times 10^9$ M $_{\odot}$不存在“卫星失踪问题”。对当前和未来弱透镜观测的进一步分析将探测更小的尺度,$k > 10h$ Mpc $^{-1}$大致对应于质量$M < 10^9 M_{\odot}$。

英文摘要:

The number of observed dwarf galaxies, with dark matter mass $\lesssim 10^{11}$ M$_{\odot}$ in the Milky Way or the Andromeda galaxy does not agree with predictions from the successful $Λ$CDM paradigm. To alleviate this problem a suppression of dark matter clustering power on very small scales has been conjectured. However, the abundance of dark matter halos outside our immediate neighbourhood (the Local Group) seem to agree with the $Λ$CDM--expected abundance. Here we connect these problems to observations of weak lensing cosmic shear, pointing out that cosmic shear can make significant statements about the missing satellites problem in a statistical way. As an example and pedagogical application we use recent constraints on small-scales power suppression from measurements of the CFHTLenS data. We find that, on average, in a region of $\sim $Gpc$^3$ there is no significant small-scale power suppression. This implies that suppression of small-scale power is not a viable solution to the `missing satellites problem' or, alternatively, that on average in this volume there is no `missing satellites problem' for dark matter masses $\gtrsim 5 \times 10^9$ M$_{\odot}$. Further analysis of current and future weak lensing surveys will probe much smaller scales, $k > 10h$ Mpc$^{-1}$ corresponding roughly to masses $M < 10^9 M_{\odot}$.
