摘要:

使用中性氢的21厘米线和来自第一个星系的互补发射线对高红移宇宙进行观测,有望为我们理解再电离时代打开一扇新的大门。我们提出的预测[C II] 158微米线和H I 21厘米发射红移z=6- 9使用高动态范围的宇宙学模拟结合半解析模型。我们发现CONCERTO实验应该能够探测到红移到z=8的[C II]发射的大尺度功率谱(在k = 0.1 h/cMpc时,积分1500 hr,信噪比~ 1)。类似于CCAT-p的第二阶段实验应该能够在类似的积分时间(在k = 0.2 h/cMpc,z=6- 9时,信噪比约为50)下检测到从更高红移到高显著性的[C II]。我们研究了将这种未来的[C II]测量与使用LOFAR和SKA的21 cm测量相结合来测量[C II]-21 cm互功率谱的可能性,并发现第二阶段实验应该能够测量k < 1 h/cMpc的互功率谱,以使信噪比优于10。我们讨论了这种测量的能力,以约束天体物理参数相关的再电离和显示,测量的[C II]-21厘米交叉功率谱有助于打破电离源的质量和亮度之间的简并性。

英文摘要:

Observations of the high-redshift Universe using the 21 cm line of neutral hydrogen and complimentary emission lines from the first galaxies promise to open a new door for our understanding of the epoch of reionization. We present predictions for the [C II] 158-micron line and H I 21 cm emission from redshifts z=6--9 using high-dynamic-range cosmological simulations combined with semi-analytical models. We find that the CONCERTO experiment should be able to detect the large scale power spectrum of [C II] emission to redshifts of up to z=8 (signal-to-noise ratio ~ 1 at k = 0.1 h/cMpc with 1500 hr of integration). A Stage II experiment similar to CCAT-p should be able to detect [C II] from even higher redshifts to high significance for similar integration times (signal-to-noise ratio of ~50 at k = 0.2 h/cMpc at z=6--9). We study the possibility of combining such future [C II] measurements with 21 cm measurements using LOFAR and SKA to measure the [C II]-21cm cross power spectra, and find that a Stage II experiment should be able to measure the cross-power spectrum for k < 1 h/cMpc to signal-to-noise ratio of better than 10. We discuss the capability of such measurements to constrain astrophysical parameters relevant to reionization and show that a measurement of the [C II]-21cm cross power spectrum helps break the degeneracy between the mass and brightness of ionizing sources.
