摘要:

星系团星表的宇宙学效用主要受限于我们校准晕质量和可观测质量代理(如星系团丰富度、X射线光度或Sunyaev-Zeldovich信号)之间关系的能力。投影效应是一种特别有害的系统效应,可以影响可观测的质量代理;沿视线的结构既可以偏置,也可以增加集群丰度研究中使用的可观测质量代理的分散性。在这项工作中,我们开发了一种经验方法来表征投影效应对redMapPer集群目录的影响。我们使用数值模拟来验证我们的方法,并说明其鲁棒性。我们证明,投影效应的建模是一个必要的组成部分,集群丰度研究能够达到$\approx 5\%$质量校准的不确定性(例如,暗能量调查年1样本)。具体而言,忽略可观察质量关系中投影效应的影响--即仅在对数正态模型上边缘化--使聚类归一化条件$S_8 \equiv σ_8 (Ω_{\rm m}/0.3)^{1/2}$的后验偏差为$ΔS_8 =0.05$,是此类分析后验不确定性的两倍以上。

英文摘要:

The cosmological utility of galaxy cluster catalogues is primarily limited by our ability to calibrate the relation between halo mass and observable mass proxies such as cluster richness, X-ray luminosity or the Sunyaev-Zeldovich signal. Projection effects are a particularly pernicious systematic effect that can impact observable mass proxies; structure along the line of sight can both bias and increase the scatter of the observable mass proxies used in cluster abundance studies. In this work, we develop an empirical method to characterize the impact of projection effects on redMaPPer cluster catalogues. We use numerical simulations to validate our method and illustrate its robustness. We demonstrate that modeling of projection effects is a necessary component for cluster abundance studies capable of reaching $\approx 5\%$ mass calibration uncertainties (e.g. the Dark Energy Survey Year 1 sample). Specifically, ignoring the impact of projection effects in the observable--mass relation --- i.e. marginalizing over a log-normal model only --- biases the posterior of the cluster normalization condition $S_8 \equiv σ_8 (Ω_{\rm m}/0.3)^{1/2}$ by $ΔS_8 =0.05$, more than twice the uncertainty in the posterior for such an analysis.
