摘要:

我们提出了一个新的框架来测试重力使用集群观测,其目的是提供一个无偏的约束修改后的重力模型从Sunyaev Zel 'dovich(SZ)和X射线集群计数和集群气体分数,以及其他可能的观测。针对一个流行的$ f(R) $引力模型,我们提出了一个新的方法来重新校准质量标度关系从$ Λ$ CDM到$ f(R) $引力SZ和X射线集群观测。我们发现,复杂的修改后的重力效应可以简单地建模为依赖于背景标量场和红移的组合,$ f_R(z)/(1+z) $,无论$ f(R) $模型参数。通过采用一个大的N体模拟套件,我们证明了理论推导的双曲正切拟合公式是在很大的背景场参数和红移范围内的动态质量增强的暗物质晕非常一致。我们的框架是足够灵活的,允许测试其他模型和纳入进一步的观测。动力学质量增强的单参数描述可以对观测量的理论建模和重力的实际测试产生重要影响。

英文摘要:

We propose a new framework for testing gravity using cluster observations, which aims to provide an unbiased constraint on modified gravity models from Sunyaev Zel'dovich (SZ) and X-ray cluster counts and the cluster gas fraction, among other possible observables. Focusing on a popular $ f(R) $ model of gravity, we propose a novel procedure to recalibrate mass scaling relations from $ Λ$CDM to $ f(R) $ gravity for SZ and X-ray cluster observables. We find that the complicated modified gravity effects can be simply modelled as a dependence on a combination of the background scalar field and redshift, $ f_R(z)/(1+z) $, regardless of the $ f(R) $ model parameter. By employing a large suite of N-body simulations, we demonstrate that a theoretically derived tanh fitting formula is in excellent agreement with the dynamical mass enhancement of dark matter haloes for a large range of background field parameters and redshifts. Our framework is sufficiently flexible to allow for tests of other models and inclusion of further observables. The one-parameter description of the dynamical mass enhancement can have important implications on the theoretical modelling of observables and on practical tests of gravity.
