Lyman- $α$吸收剂的温度和形状测量

Measuring the temperature and profiles of Lyman-$α$ absorbers

Antonella Garzilli, Tom Theuns, Joop Schaye

摘要:

在Ly $α$森林中观测到的吸收线增宽的分布携带着关于星系际介质(IGM)中细丝的温度和宽度的信息。在这项工作中,我们提出并测试了一种新的方法来推断的IGM的温度,吸收丝的大小和光电离率的吸收线加宽的性质在Ly $α$森林中的氢。我们应用我们的方法模拟光谱的EAGLE宇宙学模拟的参考模型,我们表明,我们能够重建IGM属性。我们的方法明确地考虑了IGM温度,氢的光电离率和星系际细丝的宽度之间的简并。

英文摘要:

The distribution of the absorption line broadening observed in the Ly$α$ forest carries information about the temperature and widths of the filaments in the intergalactic medium (IGM). In this work, we present and test a new method for inferring the temperature of the IGM, the size of the absorbing filaments and the photo-ionization rate of hydrogen from the properties of absorption line broadening in the Ly$α$ forest. We apply our method to mock spectra from the reference model of the EAGLE cosmological simulation, and we demonstrate that we are able to reconstruct the IGM properties. Our method explicitly takes into account the degeneracy between IGM temperature, the photo-ionization rate of hydrogen and the widths of the intergalactic filaments.
