AI总结:

本文通过模拟展示红移21厘米双谱的符号与幅度演化能区分驱动信号从吸收到发射转变的Ly$α$耦合与X射线加热,为探究宇宙黎明时期首批发光源与IGM物理提供了新途径。

摘要:

随着宇宙黎明(CD)时期首批发光源的出现,预测来自星际介质(IGM)中性氢的红移21厘米信号,在CMB背景下将经历从吸收到发射的转变。利用模拟,我们展示了21厘米双谱符号与幅度的红移演化,能够区分IGM的Ly$α$耦合与X射线加热的贡献,这两者是驱动该转变的最主要过程。这为探究CD时期首批发光源及IGM物理开辟了新途径。

英文摘要:

With the advent of the first luminous sources at Cosmic Dawn (CD), the redshifted 21-cm signal, from the neutral hydrogen in the Inter-Galactic Medium (IGM), is predicted to undergo a transition from absorption to emission against the CMB. Using simulations, we show that the redshift evolution of the sign and the magnitude of the 21-cm bispectrum can disentangle the contributions from Ly$α$ coupling and X-ray heating of the IGM, the two most dominant processes which drive this transition. This opens a new avenue to probe the first luminous sources and the IGM physics at CD.
