摘要:

星系际介质(IGM)中性氢分数的局部变化将影响层析测量中确定的原星系团的Ly- $α$吸收特征。利用IllustrisTNG模拟,我们研究了活动星系核邻近效应和热的,碰撞电离的气体所产生的引力和黑洞反馈的变化与$M_{z=0}\simeq10^{14}\,M_\odot$原团在$z\simeq2.4$的Ly- $α$吸收。我们发现,原星系团星系的超密度表现出弱的反相关与Ly- $α$传输IGM传输图,但本地HI电离增强由于热$T>10^{6}\rm\,K$气体或附近的活动星系核可以破坏这种关系在个别原星系团。然而,平均而言,我们发现IGM中性部分的强烈减少仅限于暗物质晕的$\lesssim 5h^{-1}\,\textrm{cMpc}$范围内。因此,如果在$\sim4 h^{-1}\,\textrm{cMpc}$的尺度上平滑Ly- $α$传输图,则局部电离增强对层析测量中原星系团识别的完整性的影响最小,这通常是在观测中进行的。然而,如果使用Ly- $α$森林不透明度的简单分析模型校准层析图中物质密度和Ly- $α$传输之间的关系,则晕周围热气体的存在仍然会导致最大质量原星系团的$M_{z=0}$的系统性较低估计。

英文摘要:

Local variations in the intergalactic medium (IGM) neutral hydrogen fraction will affect the Ly-$α$ absorption signature of protoclusters identified in tomographic surveys. Using the IllustrisTNG simulations, we investigate how the AGN proximity effect and hot, collisionally ionised gas arising from gravitational infall and black hole feedback changes the Ly-$α$ absorption associated with $M_{z=0}\simeq10^{14}\,M_\odot$ protoclusters at $z\simeq2.4$. We find that protocluster galaxy overdensities exhibit a weak anti-correlation with Ly-$α$ transmission in IGM transmission maps, but local HI ionisation enhancements due to hot $T>10^{6}\rm\,K$ gas or nearby AGN can disrupt this relationship within individual protoclusters. On average, however, we find that strong reductions in the IGM neutral fraction are limited to within $\lesssim 5h^{-1}\,\textrm{cMpc}$ of the dark matter haloes. Local ionisation enhancements will therefore have a minimal impact on the completeness of protocluster identification in tomographic surveys if smoothing Ly-$α$ transmission maps over scales of $\sim4 h^{-1}\,\textrm{cMpc}$, as is typically done in observations. However, if calibrating the relationship between the matter density and Ly-$α$ transmission in tomographic maps using simple analytical models for the Ly-$α$ forest opacity, the presence of hot gas around haloes can still result in systematically lower estimates of $M_{z=0}$ for the most massive protoclusters.
