摘要:

在本文中,我们提出了一个模型无关的方法来校准最大的类星体样本。类星体样品的定标实质上是对紫外(UV)和X射线光度的$\log$之间线性关系的参数进行约束。这种校准允许类星体被用作标准化的蜡烛。在描述类星体光度关系的参数和用类星体作为标准烛光推断的宇宙学距离之间有很强的相关性。我们打破这种简并,使用高斯过程回归模型独立重建宇宙的膨胀历史,从最新的Ia型超新星观测。利用校准的类星体数据集,我们进一步重建了直到$z\sim 7.5$红移的膨胀历史。最后,基于GP超参数的后验概率分布,检验了校准后的类星体样本与标准$\rmΛCDM$模型的一致性.我们的结果表明,类星体样品是在超新星的红移范围内与标准的$\rmΛCDM$模型很好的协议,尽管在较高的红移发生轻微的显着偏差。用标准的$\rmΛCDM$模型拟合校准的类星体样品,得到了一个较高的物质密度参数$Ω_m = 0.382^{+0.045}_{-0.042}$,这与其他宇宙学观测的约束条件有一定的一致性.

英文摘要:

In this paper, we present a model-independent approach to calibrate the largest quasar sample. Calibrating quasar samples is essentially constraining the parameters of the linear relation between the $\log$ of the ultraviolet (UV) and X-ray luminosities. This calibration allows quasars to be used as standardized candles. There is a strong correlation between the parameters characterizing the quasar luminosity relation and the cosmological distances inferred from using quasars as standardized candles. We break this degeneracy by using Gaussian process regression to model-independently reconstruct the expansion history of the Universe from the latest type Ia supernova observations. Using the calibrated quasar dataset, we further reconstruct the expansion history up to redshift of $z\sim 7.5$. Finally, we test the consistency between the calibrated quasar sample and the standard $\rmΛCDM$ model based on the posterior probability distribution of the GP hyperparameters. Our results show that the quasar sample is in good agreement with the standard $\rmΛCDM$ model in the redshift range of the supernova, despite of mildly significant deviations taking place at higher redshifts. Fitting the standard $\rmΛCDM$ model to the calibrated quasar sample, we obtain a high value of the matter density parameter $Ω_m = 0.382^{+0.045}_{-0.042}$, which is marginally consistent with the constraints from other cosmological observations.
