物质主导时代寻找暗能量

Searching for dark energy in the matter-dominated era

Philip Bull, Martin White, Anže Slosar

摘要:

大多数探测动态暗能量特征的努力都集中在后期,$z \lesssim 2$,在那里暗能量成分开始主导宇宙能量密度。然而,许多涉及动态暗能量的理论模型都表现出“冻结”状态方程,其中$w \to -1$在较晚的时间,在较早的时间过渡到“跟踪”行为($w \gg -1$在足够高的红移)。在本文中,我们研究是否大尺度结构调查后再电离物质占主导地位的制度,$2 \lesssim z \lesssim 6$,这种行为是敏感的基础上,暗能量分量应保持检测(尽管强烈次显性)在这个红移范围内给予足够精确的观测。使用Horndeski(广义标量张量)理论的参数空间研究的启发唯象模型,我们展示了现有的CMB和大尺度结构测量如何约束物质主导时代的暗能量状态方程,并研究如何即将到来的星系调查和21厘米强度映射仪器可以提高在这个制度的约束。我们还发现,现有的CMB和LSS约束与DESI的组合已经接近于使用BAO/星系功率谱测量对$H_0$提供最好的约束,并且LSST星系样本的光谱跟踪(例如,沿着MegaMapper或SpecTel的路线)或阶段2/PUMA样强度测绘勘测,两者都在$z \gtrsim 2$,将提供更好的约束类的暗能量模型在这里考虑比一个可比的宇宙方差有限星系调查$z \lesssim 1.5$。

英文摘要:

Most efforts to detect signatures of dynamical dark energy are focused on late times, $z \lesssim 2$, where the dark energy component begins to dominate the cosmic energy density. Many theoretical models involving dynamical dark energy exhibit a 'freezing' equation of state however, where $w \to -1$ at late times, with a transition to a 'tracking' behaviour at earlier times (with $w \gg -1$ at sufficiently high redshift). In this paper, we study whether large-scale structure surveys in the post-reionisation matter-dominated regime, $2 \lesssim z \lesssim 6$, are sensitive to this behaviour, on the basis that the dark energy component should remain detectable (despite being strongly subdominant) in this redshift range given sufficiently precise observations. Using phenomenological models inspired by parameter space studies of Horndeski (generalised scalar-tensor) theories, we show how existing CMB and large-scale structure measurements constrain the dark energy equation of state in the matter-dominated era, and examine how forthcoming galaxy surveys and 21cm intensity mapping instruments can improve constraints in this regime. We also find that the combination of existing CMB and LSS constraints with DESI will already come close to offering the best possible constraints on $H_0$ using BAO/galaxy power spectrum measurements, and that either a spectroscopic follow-up of the LSST galaxy sample (e.g. along the lines of MegaMapper or SpecTel) or a Stage 2/PUMA-like intensity mapping survey, both at $z \gtrsim 2$, would offer better constraints on the class of dark energy models considered here than a comparable cosmic variance-limited galaxy survey at $z \lesssim 1.5$.
