摘要:

在进行宇宙学推论时,对Lyman- $α$(Ly $α$)三维关联函数的标准分析只考虑由重子声学振荡(BAO)产生的明显峰所携带的信息。在这项工作中,我们解决这种压缩是否足以捕捉所有相关的宇宙学信息所携带的这些功能。我们这样做,通过执行一个直接拟合的完整的形状,包括所有的物理尺度没有压缩,合成的Ly $α$自相关函数和交叉相关与类星体在有效红移$z_{\rm{eff}}=2.3$,假设一个类星体的调查,并提供一个比较经典的方法应用于同一数据集。我们的方法导致$3.5\%$约束的物质密度$Ω_{\rm{M}}$,这是大约三到四倍,比BAO单独可以探测。生长项$f σ_{8} (z_{\rm{eff}})$被限制为$10\%$水平,光谱指数$n_{\rm{s}}$被限制为$\sim 3-4\%$。我们证明,从我们的“直接拟合”的方法,除了$n_{\rm{s}}$的约束,额外的信息可以追溯到Alcock Paczybroski效应和红移空间失真的信息。

英文摘要:

When performing cosmological inference, standard analyses of the Lyman-$α$ (Ly$α$) three-dimensional correlation functions only consider the information carried by the distinct peak produced by baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO). In this work, we address whether this compression is sufficient to capture all the relevant cosmological information carried by these functions. We do this by performing a direct fit to the full shape, including all physical scales without compression, of synthetic Ly$α$ auto-correlation functions and cross-correlations with quasars at effective redshift $z_{\rm{eff}}=2.3$, assuming a DESI-like survey, and providing a comparison to the classic method applied to the same dataset. Our approach leads to a $3.5\%$ constraint on the matter density $Ω_{\rm{M}}$, which is about three to four times better than what BAO alone can probe. The growth term $f σ_{8} (z_{\rm{eff}})$ is constrained to the $10\%$ level, and the spectral index $n_{\rm{s}}$ to $\sim 3-4\%$. We demonstrate that the extra information resulting from our `direct fit' approach, except for the $n_{\rm{s}}$ constraint, can be traced back to the Alcock-Paczyński effect and redshift space distortion information.
