下一代巡天的测光红移

Photometric Redshifts for Next-Generation Surveys

Jeffrey A. Newman, Daniel Gruen

摘要:

光度红移在星系演化和宇宙学的研究中都是必不可少的,因为它们可以分析光谱学中数量太多或太暗的物体。鲁宾天文台、欧几里德和罗马太空望远镜将很快提供新一代的成像调查,其覆盖面积、波长范围和深度都是前所未有的。为了充分利用这些数据集,需要在光度红移方法方面取得进一步的进展。在这篇评论中,我们专注于最大的共同挑战和前景,以改善应用的照片- $z$的下一代调查:-增益在$performance$ -iidoEe,对单个星系的红移估计的精确性--可以大大加强对星系演化的研究和宇宙学的一些探测。- $characterization$的改进--即,在个别星系红移存在不确定性的情况下,精确恢复星系的红移$distributions$-是下一代宇宙学测量迫切需要的。- 为了实现这两个目标,还需要改进光谱红移的范围和样品的处理,使高保真的照片- $z$成为可能。为了充分发挥下一代巡天的潜力,与目前的技术水平相比,红移分布的表征需要改进大约一个数量级,需要在各种各样的方面取得进展。最后,我们提出了一个推测性的评估如何光度红移的方法和收集必要的光谱样品可能会改善不久的将来的调查完成的时间。

英文摘要:

Photometric redshifts are essential in studies of both galaxy evolution and cosmology, as they enable analyses of objects too numerous or faint for spectroscopy. The Rubin Observatory, Euclid, and Roman Space Telescope will soon provide a new generation of imaging surveys with unprecedented area coverage, wavelength range, and depth. To take full advantage of these datasets, further progress in photometric redshift methods is needed. In this review, we focus on the greatest common challenges and prospects for improvement in applications of photo-$z$'s to the next generation of surveys: - Gains in $performance$ -- i.e., the precision of redshift estimates for individual galaxies -- could greatly enhance studies of galaxy evolution and some probes of cosmology. - Improvements in $characterization$ -- i.e., the accurate recovery of redshift $distributions$ of galaxies in the presence of uncertainty on individual redshifts -- are urgently needed for cosmological measurements with next-generation surveys. - To achieve both of these goals, improvements in the scope and treatment of the samples of spectroscopic redshifts which make high-fidelity photo-$z$'s possible will also be needed. For the full potential of the next generation of surveys to be reached, the characterization of redshift distributions will need to improve by roughly an order of magnitude compared to the current state of the art, requiring progress on a wide variety of fronts. We conclude by presenting a speculative evaluation of how photometric redshift methods and the collection of the necessary spectroscopic samples may improve by the time near-future surveys are completed.
