Lorenzo Pizzuti, Ippocratis D. Saltas, Luca Amendola

摘要:

我们提出了一个升级版本的\textsc{MG-MAMPOSSt},扩展的\textsc{MAMPOSSt}算法,进行贝叶斯拟合模型的质量和速度各向异性分布的示踪剂在投影相空间,处理修改后的重力模型和约束其参数。新版本实现了两种不同类型的重力修改,即一般变色龙和Vainshtein筛选,并进一步配备了一个有效的参数空间探索的蒙特卡洛马尔可夫链模块。该程序是由\textsc{ClusterGEN}代码补充,能够产生模拟星系团的假设下,球对称,动力学平衡,高斯本地速度分布函数在\textsc{MAMPOSSt}。我们证明了潜在的方法,通过分析一组合成的,孤立的球对称的暗物质晕,侧重于模型参数之间的统计退化。假设额外的透镜状信息的可用性,我们预测修改后的重力参数为两个模型的约束,预期从联合透镜+内部运动学分析,鉴于即将到来的星系团调查。在Vainshtein筛选中,我们通过对全会聚剪切轮廓的估计来预测弱透镜效应。对于变色龙筛选,我们约束的两个自由参数的模型的空间中的允许区域,进一步专注于$f(\mathcal{R})$子类,以获得现实的背景场$|f_{\mathcal{R}0}|$的界限。我们的分析表明,内部运动学和透镜探针的互补性,约束修改后的引力理论,以及如何通过这两个探针的组合,提高范施泰因屏蔽理论的界限。

英文摘要:

We present an upgraded version of \textsc{MG-MAMPOSSt}, an extension of the \textsc{MAMPOSSt} algorithm that performs Bayesian fits of models of mass and velocity anisotropy profiles to the distribution of tracers in projected phase space, to handle modified gravity models and constrain their parameters. The new version implements two distinct types of gravity modifications, namely general chameleon and Vainshtein screening, and is further equipped with a Monte-Carlo-Markov-Chain module for an efficient parameter space exploration. The program is complemented by the \textsc{ClusterGEN} code, capable of producing mock galaxy clusters under the assumption of spherical symmetry, dynamical equilibrium, and Gaussian local velocity distribution functions as in \textsc{MAMPOSSt}. We demonstrate the potential of the method by analysing a set of synthetic, isolated spherically-symmetric dark matter haloes, focusing on the statistical degeneracies between model parameters. Assuming the availability of additional lensing-like information, we forecast the constraints on the modified gravity parameters for the two models presented, as expected from joint lensing+internal kinematics analyses, in view of upcoming galaxy cluster surveys. In Vainshtein screening, we forecast the weak lensing effect through the estimation of the full convergence-shear profile. For chameleon screening, we constrain the allowed region in the space of the two free parameters of the model, further focusing on the $f(\mathcal{R})$ subclass to obtain realistic bounds on the background field $|f_{\mathcal{R}0}|$. Our analysis demonstrates the complementarity of internal kinematics and lensing probes for constraining modified gravity theories, and how the bounds on Vainshtein-screened theories improve through the combination of the two probes.
