摘要:

我们评估性能的多极展开形式主义的情况下,单盘HI强度映射,包括仪器和前景去除效果。这种形式主义是用来提供一系列的HI和宇宙学参数,包括红移空间扭曲和Alcock-Paczynski效应的MCMC预测。我们首先确定我们的功率谱建模的有效性范围,通过拟合模拟数据,集中在四极,四极和十六极的贡献。然后,我们表明,前景减法效应可能导致严重的偏见,在宇宙学参数的测定,特别是有关的横向BAO重新标度,增长率和HI的偏见($α_\perp$,$\overline{T}_\text{HI} fσ_8$,和$\overline{T}_\text{HI} b_\text{HI} σ_8$,分别)的参数。我们试图通过构建一个2参数前景建模处方来解释这些偏差,并发现我们的处方导致无偏的参数估计,代价是增加宇宙学参数的估计不确定性。此外,我们确认,仪器和前景去除效果显着影响理论协方差矩阵,并导致不同的多极子之间的协方差变得不可忽略。最后,我们展示了在我们的分析中包括高阶多极子的效果,以及这些如何可以用来调查HI强度映射数据中的仪器和系统效应的存在。

英文摘要:

We assess the performance of the multipole expansion formalism in the case of single-dish HI intensity mapping, including instrumental and foreground removal effects. This formalism is used to provide MCMC forecasts for a range of HI and cosmological parameters, including redshift space distortions and the Alcock-Paczynski effect. We first determine the range of validity of our power spectrum modelling by fitting to simulation data, concentrating on the monopole, quadrupole, and hexadecapole contributions. We then show that foreground subtraction effects can lead to severe biases in the determination of cosmological parameters, in particular the parameters relating to the transverse BAO rescaling, the growth rate and the HI bias ($α_\perp$, $\overline{T}_\text{HI} fσ_8$, and $\overline{T}_\text{HI} b_\text{HI} σ_8$, respectively). We attempt to account for these biases by constructing a 2-parameter foreground modelling prescription, and find that our prescription leads to unbiased parameter estimation at the expense of increasing the estimated uncertainties on cosmological parameters. In addition, we confirm that instrumental and foreground removal effects significantly impact the theoretical covariance matrix, and cause the covariance between different multipoles to become non-negligible. Finally, we show the effect of including higher-order multipoles in our analysis, and how these can be used to investigate the presence of instrumental and systematic effects in HI intensity mapping data.
