热SZ效应对Planck CMB透镜和SDSS星系密度场之间互相关的影响

Impact of thermal SZ effect on cross-correlations between Planck CMB lensing and SDSS galaxy density fields

Tianyue Chen, Mathieu Remazeilles

摘要:

宇宙微波背景辐射(CMB)图中星系团的热Sunyaev-Zeldovich(tSZ)效应所造成的残余前景污染传播到重构的CMB透镜场中,从而使CMB透镜与大尺度结构(LSS)之间的本征互相关产生偏差。通过叠加分析,我们发现,残留的tSZ污染导致的透镜收敛的集群的中心部分和集群郊区的透镜收敛的递减的增量。我们通过互功率谱计算量化了残余tSZ污染对普朗克2018 CMB透镜收敛图和SDSS-IV星系密度数据之间互相关性的影响。与普朗克2018年tSZ去投影的SMICA透镜图相比,我们使用tSZ污染的SMICA透镜图进行的分析在多极$\ell\lesssim 500$处测量了$\sim2.5\%$负偏置,并在$\ell\gtrsim1500$处过渡到$\sim9\%$正偏置,这验证了早期对这种tSZ诱导的伪互相关的整体形状的理论预测。在普朗克CMB数据中检测到tSZ诱导的透镜会聚场,在$\ell\lesssim 500$处具有超过$1σ$的显著性,在$\ell\gtrsim1500$处具有超过$14σ$的显著性,从而产生总体$14.8σ$检测。我们还表明,掩盖星系团的CMB数据是不足以消除虚假的透镜信号,仍然检测到一个不可忽略的偏差与$5.5σ$意义上的互相关与星系密度场。我们的研究结果强调了在组分分离阶段从CMB图中去除tSZ效应并采用无tSZ的CMB透镜图与LSS数据进行互相关是多么重要。

英文摘要:

Residual foreground contamination by thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) effect from galaxy clusters in cosmic microwave background (CMB) maps propagates into the reconstructed CMB lensing field, and thus biases the intrinsic cross-correlation between CMB lensing and large-scale structure (LSS). Through stacking analysis, we show that residual tSZ contamination causes an increment of lensing convergence in the central part of the clusters and a decrement of lensing convergence in the cluster outskirts. We quantify the impact of residual tSZ contamination on cross-correlations between the Planck 2018 CMB lensing convergence maps and the SDSS-IV galaxy density data through cross-power spectrum computation. In contrast with the Planck 2018 tSZ-deprojected SMICA lensing map, our analysis using the tSZ-contaminated SMICA lensing map measures a $\sim2.5\%$ negative bias at multipoles $\ell\lesssim 500$ and transits to a $\sim9\%$ positive bias at $\ell\gtrsim1500$, which validates earlier theoretical predictions of the overall shape of such tSZ-induced spurious cross-correlation. The tSZ-induced lensing convergence field in Planck CMB data is detected with more than $1σ$ significance at $\ell\lesssim 500$ and more than $14σ$ significance at $\ell\gtrsim1500$, yielding an overall $14.8σ$ detection. We also show that masking galaxy clusters in CMB data is not sufficient to eliminate the spurious lensing signal, still detecting a non-negligible bias with $5.5σ$ significance on cross-correlations with galaxy density fields. Our results emphasize how essential it is to deproject the tSZ effect from CMB maps at the component separation stage and adopt tSZ-free CMB lensing maps for cross-correlations with LSS data.
