摘要:

我们从GAMA星系群星表中构造了质量范围为10^12.7M_sol到10^15.5M_sol的晕质量函数(HMF),与LambdaCDM的结果吻合得很好.与以前的研究相比,这一结果将HMF的质量范围扩大了一个数量级。我们将GAMA DR 4 HMF与来自SDSS DR 12和REFLEX II调查的类似数据相结合,并拟合四参数Murray-Robotham-Power(MRP)函数,在z~0.1时有效,得到:(phi Mpc^3)=-3.96[+0.55,-0.82],高质量转换:log 10(M/M_sol)=14.13[+0.43,-0.40],低质量幂律斜率:α =-1.68[+0.21,-0.24],高质量软化参数:β = 0.63[+0.25,-0.11]。如果我们在普朗克2018宇宙学中对Omega_M的约束中折叠,我们能够进一步减少这些不确定性,但这依赖于幂律趋势可以从10^12.7M_sol外推到零质量的假设。在整个过程中,我们强调需要努力改进我们的HMF测量:改进晕质量估计,不依赖于校准模拟;减少晕质量的不确定性,以减轻强烈的爱丁顿偏差,所产生的陡峭的HMF低质量斜率;和更深更广的区域光谱调查。对于我们的晕质量极限10^12.7 M_sol,我们直接分辨(“看到”)总质量密度的41+/-5%,即Ω_[M>12.7]=0.128+/-0.016,为直接构建Mpc分辨率的3D暗物质质量图打开了大门。

英文摘要:

We construct the halo mass function (HMF) from the GAMA galaxy group catalogue over the mass range 10^12.7M_sol to 10^15.5M_sol, and find good agreement with the expectation from LambdaCDM. In comparison to previous studies, this result extends the mass range over which the HMF has now been measured over by an order of magnitude. We combine the GAMA DR4 HMF with similar data from the SDSS DR12 and REFLEX II surveys, and fit a four-parameter Murray-Robotham-Power (MRP) function, valid at z~0.1, yielding: a density normalisation of: log10 (phi Mpc^3)=-3.96[+0.55,-0.82], a high mass turn-over of: log10(M/M_sol)=14.13[+0.43,-0.40], a low mass power law slope of: alpha=-1.68[+0.21,-0.24] , and a high mass softening parameter of: beta= 0.63[+0.25,-0.11]. If we fold in the constraint on Omega_M from Planck 2018 Cosmology, we are able to reduce these uncertainties further, but this relies on the assumption that the power-law trend can be extrapolated from 10^12.7M_sol to zero mass. Throughout, we highlight the effort needed to improve on our HMF measurement: improved halo mass estimates that do not rely on calibration to simulations; reduced halo mass uncertainties needed to mitigate the strong Eddington Bias that arises from the steepness of the HMF low mass slope; and deeper wider area spectroscopic surveys. To our halo mass limit of 10^12.7 M_sol, we are directly resolving (`seeing') 41+/-5 per cent of the total mass density, i.e. Omega_[M>12.7]=0.128+/-0.016, opening the door for the direct construction of 3D dark matter mass maps at Mpc resolution.
