摘要:

我们搜索普朗克数据的热Sunyaev-Zel'dovich(tSZ)的信号,由于气体细丝之间的发光红星系(LRG的)采取的斯隆数字巡天数据发布12(SDSS/DR 12)。我们在DR 12目录中识别出了260,000个LRG对,它们在切向方向上彼此在6-10 $\sim$范围内,在径向方向上在6 $h^{-1} \mathrm{Mpc}$范围内。我们通过旋转和缩放每个LRG的角位置来堆叠对,使它们位于公共参考系上,然后我们从对的每个成员中减去圆对称晕,以搜索对成员之间的残留信号。我们发现,在叠加数据中,LRG对之间的信号具有统计学显著性(5.3 $σ$),幅度为$Δy = (1.31 \pm 0.25) \times 10^{-8}$。的不确定性估计从两个蒙特卡洛零测试,也建立了我们的分析的可靠性。假设一个简单的,等温的,圆柱形灯丝模型的电子过密度与$r_c/r$(从模拟确定),其中$r$是垂直距离的圆柱体轴和$r_c$是核心半径的密度分布成比例,我们约束的产品的过密度和灯丝温度为$δ_c \times (T_{\rm e}/10^7 \, {\rm K}) \times (r_c/0.5h^{-1} \, {\rm Mpc}) = 2.7 \pm 0.5$。据我们所知,这是第一次探测到宇宙大尺度结构中典型的超密度气体。我们将我们的结果与BAHAMAS宇宙学流体动力学模拟套件(McCarthy et al. 2017)进行了比较,发现了一个略低但略微一致的康普顿化过量$Δy = (0.84 \pm 0.24) \times 10^{-8}$。

英文摘要:

We search the Planck data for a thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) signal due to gas filaments between pairs of Luminous Red Galaxies (LRG's) taken from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 12 (SDSS/DR12). We identify $\sim$260,000 LRG pairs in the DR12 catalog that lie within 6-10 $h^{-1} \mathrm{Mpc}$ of each other in tangential direction and within 6 $h^{-1} \mathrm{Mpc}$ in radial direction. We stack pairs by rotating and scaling the angular positions of each LRG so they lie on a common reference frame, then we subtract a circularly symmetric halo from each member of the pair to search for a residual signal between the pair members. We find a statistically significant (5.3$σ$) signal between LRG pairs in the stacked data with a magnitude $Δy = (1.31 \pm 0.25) \times 10^{-8}$. The uncertainty is estimated from two Monte Carlo null tests which also establish the reliability of our analysis. Assuming a simple, isothermal, cylindrical filament model of electron over-density with a radial density profile proportional to $r_c/r$ (as determined from simulations), where $r$ is the perpendicular distance from the cylinder axis and $r_c$ is the core radius of the density profile, we constrain the product of over-density and filament temperature to be $δ_c \times (T_{\rm e}/10^7 \, {\rm K}) \times (r_c/0.5h^{-1} \, {\rm Mpc}) = 2.7 \pm 0.5$. To our knowledge, this is the first detection of filamentary gas at over-densities typical of cosmological large-scale structure. We compare our result to the BAHAMAS suite of cosmological hydrodynamic simulations (McCarthy et al. 2017) and find a slightly lower, but marginally consistent Comptonization excess, $Δy = (0.84 \pm 0.24) \times 10^{-8}$.
