目标选择对星系红移样本的相对论效应

Relativistic Effects on Galaxy Redshift Samples due to Target Selection

Shadab Alam, Rupert A. C. Croft, Shirley Ho, Hongyu Zhu, Elena Giusarma

摘要:

在星系红移巡天中,光谱的目标是从光度观测的样本中选择的。通过相对论多普勒效应和相对论光束效应,在这个母体样本中观测到的星系的大小和颜色将受到它们特有的速度的影响。在本文中,我们计算由此产生的预期变化的星系测光。相对论效应的大小是红移、恒星质量、星系速度和速度方向的函数。我们重点研究了斯隆数字巡天(SDSS)和重子振荡光谱巡天(BOSS)中的CMASS样本,这些样本是根据颜色和星等选择的。我们发现,样品($\sim 585$星系)的0.10%被相对论效应散射到色星等空间的目标区域,相反,样品($\sim 532$星系)的0.09%被散射出去。这些效应的观测结果包括聚类统计的不对称性,我们将在一篇配套论文中对此进行探讨。在这里,我们计算一组权重,可用于消除从星系样本推断的密度场引入调制的影响。最后,我们调查这些相对论调制的星系样本的大规模集群的可能影响。

英文摘要:

In a galaxy redshift survey the objects to be targeted for spectra are selected from a photometrically observed sample. The observed magnitudes and colours of galaxies in this parent sample will be affected by their peculiar velocities, through relativistic Doppler and relativistic beaming effects. In this paper we compute the resulting expected changes in galaxy photometry. The magnitudes of the relativistic effects are a function of redshift, stellar mass, galaxy velocity and velocity direction. We focus on the CMASS sample from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), which is selected on the basis of colour and magnitude. We find that 0.10\% of the sample ($\sim 585$ galaxies) has been scattered into the targeted region of colour-magnitude space by relativistic effects, and conversely 0.09\% of the sample ($\sim 532$ galaxies) has been scattered out. Observational consequences of these effects include an asymmetry in clustering statistics, which we explore in a companion paper. Here we compute a set of weights which can be used to remove the effect of modulations introduced into the density field inferred from a galaxy sample. We conclude by investigating the possible effects of these relativistic modulation on large scale clustering of the galaxy sample.
