高红移类星体宇宙学时间膨胀的探测

Detection of the Cosmological Time Dilation of High Redshift Quasars

Geraint F. Lewis, Brendon J. Brewer

AI总结:

研究利用多波段二十余年监测的190个类星体和 Bayesian 假设检验,探测到依赖红移的宇宙学时间膨胀,反驳了类星体变异性挑战标准宇宙学模型的说法。

摘要:

相对论宇宙学的一项基本预言是:由于空间膨胀,对遥远宇宙的观测应当经历时间膨胀,因而看起来比局域宇宙中的事件运行得更慢。尽管对宇宙学超新星的观测明确显示出预期的、依赖于红移的时间膨胀,但其他遥远源的情况并非如此。本文中,我们通过 Bayesian 分析评估多种假说,在一个历经二十多年、以多个波段监测的 190 个类星体样本中识别出宇宙时间膨胀。这一探测反驳了此前关于观测到的类星体变异性缺乏预期的红移依赖时间膨胀的说法。因此,除了表明“类星体变异性缺乏红移依赖性对标准宇宙学模型构成重大挑战”这一主张之外,本分析还进一步表明,类星体的性质与其作为真正宇宙学遥远源的身份相一致。

英文摘要:

A fundamental prediction of relativistic cosmologies is that, due to the expansion of space, observations of the distant cosmos should be time dilated and appear to run slower than events in the local universe. Whilst observations of cosmological supernovae unambiguously display the expected redshift-dependent time dilation, this has not been the case for other distant sources. Here we present the identification of cosmic time dilation in a sample of 190 quasars monitored for over two decades in multiple wavebands by assessing various hypotheses through Bayesian analysis. This detection counters previous claims that observed quasar variability lacked the expected redshift-dependent time dilation. Hence, as well as demonstrating the claim that the lack of the redshift dependence of quasar variability represents a significant challenge to the standard cosmological model, this analysis further indicates that the properties of quasars are consistent with them being truly cosmologically distant sources.
