摘要:

LSST将在未来十年为宇宙学开辟新的前景,但如果没有其他望远镜的数据,它就无法充分发挥其潜力。利用4- 15米望远镜上的宽视场($>20$度$^2$总测量面积)、高度多路复用光学和近红外多目标光谱学(MOS),可以大大增强宇宙学约束。这可以以适当设计的大型调查和/或社区访问的形式来实现,以便为现有项目增加新的目标。首先,可以使用测光样本与跨越数千平方米的$0 < z < 3$光谱样本的互相关来高精度地校准测光红移。°的微弱的LSST天体和透镜映射与这些光谱样本的互相关也可以通过约束内在排列系统学来改善弱透镜宇宙学,并且还将为修正的引力理论提供新的测试。大样本的LSST强透镜系统和超新星可以最有效地研究的光谱调查覆盖尽可能多的LSST河外足迹(高达$\sim20,000$平方度)。最后,红移可以有效地测量大部分的超新星在LSST深钻领域(DDFs)的目标,他们的主机与宽场摄谱仪。在广泛的调查中瞄准遥远的星系,超新星和强透镜系统(例如)位于LSST足迹北部的DESI或MSE或位于南部的4 MOST可以实现其中许多收益; DESI,4 MOST,斯巴鲁/PFS或MSE都非常适合DDF调查。最有效的解决方案是在南半球安装一种新的宽视场、高度多路复用的光谱仪器,其孔径为$>6$ m。在两个配套的白皮书中,我们介绍了深,小面积MOS和单目标成像和光谱学的收益。

英文摘要:

LSST will open new vistas for cosmology in the next decade, but it cannot reach its full potential without data from other telescopes. Cosmological constraints can be greatly enhanced using wide-field ($>20$ deg$^2$ total survey area), highly-multiplexed optical and near-infrared multi-object spectroscopy (MOS) on 4-15m telescopes. This could come in the form of suitably-designed large surveys and/or community access to add new targets to existing projects. First, photometric redshifts can be calibrated with high precision using cross-correlations of photometric samples against spectroscopic samples at $0 < z < 3$ that span thousands of sq. deg. Cross-correlations of faint LSST objects and lensing maps with these spectroscopic samples can also improve weak lensing cosmology by constraining intrinsic alignment systematics, and will also provide new tests of modified gravity theories. Large samples of LSST strong lens systems and supernovae can be studied most efficiently by piggybacking on spectroscopic surveys covering as much of the LSST extragalactic footprint as possible (up to $\sim20,000$ square degrees). Finally, redshifts can be measured efficiently for a high fraction of the supernovae in the LSST Deep Drilling Fields (DDFs) by targeting their hosts with wide-field spectrographs. Targeting distant galaxies, supernovae, and strong lens systems over wide areas in extended surveys with (e.g.) DESI or MSE in the northern portion of the LSST footprint or 4MOST in the south could realize many of these gains; DESI, 4MOST, Subaru/PFS, or MSE would all be well-suited for DDF surveys. The most efficient solution would be a new wide-field, highly-multiplexed spectroscopic instrument in the southern hemisphere with $>6$m aperture. In two companion white papers we present gains from deep, small-area MOS and from single-target imaging and spectroscopy.
