周期宇宙学模拟中功率谱的各向异性

The anisotropy of the power spectrum in periodic cosmological simulations

Gábor Rácz, István Szapudi, István Csabai, László Dobos

摘要:

环面上的经典引力是各向异性的,并且总是小于牛顿的$1/r^2$定律。我们证明了暗物质的周期性的影响,只有$N$体模拟的球形崩溃和标准的$Λ$ CDM初始条件。周期性的边界条件会导致宇宙结构形成的宇宙学模拟的整体负和各向异性的偏见。小周期模拟的功率谱的较低振幅是缺失大尺度模式和同样重要的较小周期力的结果。当最大的轻度非线性尺度与模拟框的线性尺寸相当时,效果最为显著,这通常是高分辨率流体动力学模拟的情况。球形塌陷变形为类似于八面体的形状。各向异性的生长扭曲了大尺度的$Λ$ CDM暗物质结构。我们在模拟体的八面体群下引入了方向依赖的功率谱不变量,并证明了结果打破了球对称性。

英文摘要:

The classical gravitational force on a torus is anisotropic and always lower than Newton's $1/r^2$ law. We demonstrate the effects of periodicity in dark matter only $N$-body simulations of spherical collapse and standard $Λ$CDM initial conditions. Periodic boundary conditions cause an overall negative and anisotropic bias in cosmological simulations of cosmic structure formation. The lower amplitude of power spectra of small periodic simulations are a consequence of the missing large scale modes and the equally important smaller periodic forces. The effect is most significant when the largest mildly non-linear scales are comparable to the linear size of the simulation box, as often is the case for high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations. Spherical collapse morphs into a shape similar to an octahedron. The anisotropic growth distorts the large-scale $Λ$CDM dark matter structures. We introduce the direction-dependent power spectrum invariant under the octahedral group of the simulation volume and show that the results break spherical symmetry.
