在宇宙学尺度上不依赖模型验证光速为常数

Model-independent confirmation of a constant speed of light over cosmological distances

Fulvio Melia

AI总结:

本研究指出高红移紫外+X射线类星体哈勃图显示的光速偏差源于光度距离与哈勃参数关系推导错误及星表校准问题,修正后证实在红移0到2范围内光速恒定,不依赖模型验证了宇宙学尺度光速不变。

摘要:

近期,研究人员利用各类标准烛光,以及从当前可用的宇宙计时钟星表推导出的随红移变化的哈勃膨胀率,尝试测量光速$c$的变化,这些研究倾向于表明光速至少在红移$z\backsim2$的范围内似乎是恒定的。一个值得注意的例外是使用高红移紫外+X射线类星体的研究,其哈勃图似乎表明,光速$c$与其在地球上的取值$c_0$($\boldsymbol{\rm \triangleq 2.99792458 \times 10^{10}}$ cm s$^{-1}$)存在约$2.7\boldsymbol{\rm \sigma}$的偏差。但我们在本文中证明,这一异常现象源于两个问题:一是当允许$c$随红移变化时,推导光度距离$D_L$与$H(z)$之间的关系时出现错误;二是类星体星表的校准不够精确。当正确修正这些缺陷后,我们发现在红移范围$0\lesssim z\lesssim 2$内,$c/c_0=0.95 \pm 0.14$,这一结果与测量误差范围内光速无变化的结论完全一致。

英文摘要:

Recent attempts at measuring the variation of $c$ using an assortment of standard candles and the redshift-dependent Hubble expansion rate inferred from the currently available catalog of cosmic chronometers have tended to show that the speed of light appears to be constant, at least up to $z\sim 2$. A notable exception is the use of high-redshift UV $+$ X-ray quasars, whose Hubble diagram seems to indicate a $\sim 2.7σ$ deviation of c from its value $c_0$ ($\equiv 2.99792458 \times 10^{10}$ cm s$^{-1}$) on Earth. We show in this paper, however, that this anomaly is due to an error in the derived relation between the luminosity distance, $D_L$, and $H(z)$ when $c$ is allowed to vary with redshift, and an imprecise calibration of the quasar catalog. When these deficiences are addressed correctly, one finds that $c/c_0=0.95 \pm 0.14$ in the redshift range $0\lesssim z\lesssim 2$, fully consistent with zero variation within the measurement errors.
