多示踪剂强度制图:互相关、线噪声和去相关

Multi-tracer intensity mapping: Cross-correlations, Line noise & Decorrelation

Emmanuel Schaan, Martin White

摘要:

线强度测绘(LIM)是一种新兴的多频、低角分辨率的宇宙学和星系形成研究方法。许多LIM应用程序至关重要地依赖于两条线的强度图,或强度图与星系调查或星系/CMB透镜的互相关。我们提出了一个一致的晕模型来预测所有这些互相关,并使联合分析,在三维红移空间和二维投影地图。我们扩展的条件光度函数形式主义的多线的情况下,始终占多个星系线光度之间的相关散射。这使我们能够对两个线强度图之间的尺度相关去相关进行建模,这是前景拒绝和从交叉光谱估计自光谱的方法的关键输入。这也使得LIM互相关能够揭示LIM自谱所不能揭示的星际介质的天体物理性质。我们揭示了LIM中光度散射或“线噪声”的不同来源,并阐明了它们对1-晕和星系散粒噪声项的影响。特别是,我们表明,晕的有效数密度在某些情况下可以超过星系,违反直觉。使用观测和模拟输入,我们实现了H $α$,[Oiii],莱曼- $α$,CO和[Cii]线的晕模型。我们鼓励观测者和模拟者尽可能地测量成对线的星系光度相关系数。我们的代码可在https://github.com/EmmanuelSchaan/HaloGen/tree/LIM上公开获取。在一个配套文件中,我们使用这个晕模型的形式主义和代码,以突出宇宙学和天体物理学之间的LIM的简并,并比较LIM观测星系检测的一些调查。

英文摘要:

Line intensity mapping (LIM) is a rapidly emerging technique for constraining cosmology and galaxy formation using multi-frequency, low angular resolution maps. Many LIM applications crucially rely on cross-correlations of two line intensity maps, or of intensity maps with galaxy surveys or galaxy/CMB lensing. We present a consistent halo model to predict all these cross-correlations and enable joint analyses, in 3D redshift-space and for 2D projected maps. We extend the conditional luminosity function formalism to the multi-line case, to consistently account for correlated scatter between multiple galaxy line luminosities. This allows us to model the scale-dependent decorrelation between two line intensity maps, a key input for foreground rejection and for approaches that estimate auto-spectra from cross-spectra. This also enables LIM cross-correlations to reveal astrophysical properties of the interstellar medium inacessible with LIM auto-spectra. We expose the different sources of luminosity scatter or "line noise" in LIM, and clarify their effects on the 1-halo and galaxy shot noise terms. In particular, we show that the effective number density of halos can in some cases exceed that of galaxies, counterintuitively. Using observational and simulation input, we implement this halo model for the H$α$, [Oiii], Lyman-$α$, CO and [Cii] lines. We encourage observers and simulators to measure galaxy luminosity correlation coefficients for pairs of lines whenever possible. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/EmmanuelSchaan/HaloGen/tree/LIM . In a companion paper, we use this halo model formalism and code to highlight the degeneracies between cosmology and astrophysics in LIM, and to compare the LIM observables to galaxy detection for a number of surveys.
