摘要:

再电离时期的三维辐射转移模拟可以产生真实的结果,但计算成本很高。另一方面,依赖于一维辐射转移解的模拟更快,但由于其更近似的性质,精度有限。在这里,我们比较了再电离模拟程序grizzly和C2-ray的性能,分别使用一维和三维辐射转移计划。使用相同的宇宙学密度场,晕目录和源属性进行比较。我们发现,电离地图,以及21厘米的信号地图,从这两个模拟是非常相似的,即使是复杂的情况下,其中包括低质量的热反馈晕。在整个再电离过程中,两种方案在亮度温度起伏功率谱等统计量上的比较在10%的误差范围内是一致的。grizzly的表现似乎略好于Majumdar等人(2014)中考虑的基于偏移集原理的半数值方法。我们认为,灰熊可以有效地用于探索参数空间,建立观测策略和估计参数从21厘米的观测。

英文摘要:

Three-dimensional radiative transfer simulations of the epoch of reionization can produce realistic results, but are computationally expensive. On the other hand, simulations relying on one-dimensional radiative transfer solutions are faster but limited in accuracy due to their more approximate nature. Here, we compare the performance of the reionization simulation codes grizzly and C2-ray which use 1D and 3D radiative transfer schemes respectively. The comparison is performed using the same cosmological density fields, halo catalogues and source properties. We find that the ionization maps, as well as the 21-cm signal maps from these two simulations are very similar even for complex scenarios which include thermal feedback on low mass halos. The comparison between the schemes in terms of the statistical quantities such as the power spectrum of the brightness temperature fluctuation agree with each other within 10% error throughout the entire reionization history. grizzly seems to perform slightly better than the semi-numerical approaches considered in Majumdar et al. (2014) which are based on the excursion set principle. We argue that grizzly can be efficiently used for exploring parameter space, establishing observations strategies and estimating parameters from 21-cm observations.
