视线结构对强透镜时延测量$H_0$的影响

The impact of line-of-sight structures on measuring $H_0$ with strong lensing time-delays

Nan Li, Christoph Becker, Simon Dye

摘要:

早期和局部宇宙观测的哈勃-勒梅特常数的测量结果显示出显着的差异。在试图了解这种不匹配的起源,需要独立的技术来测量H 0。一种这样的技术,强透镜时间延迟,将成为众多方法中的领先竞争者,由于即将到来的大强透镜样本。因此,了解这种方法固有的系统效应至关重要。在本文中,我们通过采用来自CosmoDC 2半解析河外星系目录的真实光锥来量化沿视线的附加结构的影响。使用多个透镜平面光线跟踪创建一组模拟强透镜系统,我们已经调查了视线结构对时延测量的影响,进而对H 0的推断值。我们还测试了现有的程序的可靠性校正视线的影响。我们发现,如果整合的视线结构的贡献是接近一个统一的质量片,在H 0的偏差可以通过包括一个恒定的外部收敛$κ_{ext}$在透镜模型中得到充分的纠正。然而,对于现实的视线结构,包括许多星系在不同的红移,这个简单的校正高估了偏差的量,线性依赖于中位数的外部收敛。因此,我们的结论是,镜头建模必须纳入多个镜头平面,以考虑视线结构的准确和精确的推断H 0。

英文摘要:

Measurements of The Hubble-Lemaitre constant from early- and local-universe observations show a significant discrepancy. In an attempt to understand the origin of this mismatch, independent techniques to measure H0 are required. One such technique, strong lensing time delays, is set to become a leading contender amongst the myriad methods due to forthcoming large strong lens samples. It is therefore critical to understand the systematic effects inherent in this method. In this paper, we quantify the influence of additional structures along the line-of-sight by adopting realistic light cones derived from the CosmoDC2 semi-analytical extra-galactic catalogue. Using multiple lens plane ray-tracing to create a set of simulated strong lensing systems, we have investigated the impact of line-of-sight structures on time-delay measurements and in turn, on the inferred value of H0. We have also tested the reliability of existing procedures for correcting for line-of-sight effects. We find that if the integrated contribution of the line-of-sight structures is close to a uniform mass sheet, the bias in H0 can be adequately corrected by including a constant external convergence $κ_{ext}$ in the lens model. However, for realistic line-of-sight structures comprising many galaxies at different redshifts, this simple correction overestimates the bias by an amount that depends linearly on the median external convergence. We, therefore, conclude that lens modelling must incorporate multiple lens planes to account for line-of-sight structures for accurate and precise inference of H0.
