AI总结:

基于DESI早期数据,本研究发现类星体红移估计中因莱曼-α光深建模不当导致的红移相关偏差,并通过推导新模板将该偏差从-1.94降至-0.08 h^-1 Mpc,显著提升了宇宙学分析的准确性。

摘要:

Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) 将在其5年巡天结束时测量数百万个类星体光谱。类星体红移误差会影响莱曼-α森林相关函数的形状,从而可能影响宇宙学分析及宇宙学解释。使用DESI Early Data Release及主巡天头两个月的数据,我们通过莱曼-α森林与类星体交叉相关的偏移测量了系统红移误差。我们发现了红移相关偏差的证据,导致红移随红移增加而被低估,这源于用于红移估计的模板中对莱曼-α光深的不当建模。我们为DESI Year 1中z > 1.6的类星体样本推导了新模板,发现红移相关偏差Δr_∥从-1.94 ± 0.15 h^-1 Mpc变为-0.08 ± 0.04 h^-1 Mpc(-205 ± 15 km s^-1变为-9.0 ± 4.0 km s^-1)。这些新模板将用于为DESI Year 1类星体样本提供红移。

英文摘要:

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) will measure millions of quasar spectra by the end of its 5 year survey. Quasar redshift errors impact the shape of the Lyman-$α$ forest correlation functions, which can affect cosmological analyses and therefore cosmological interpretations. Using data from the DESI Early Data Release and the first two months of the main survey, we measure the systematic redshift error from an offset in the cross-correlation of the Lyman-$α$ forest with quasars. We find evidence for a redshift dependent bias causing redshifts to be underestimated with increasing redshift, stemming from improper modeling of the Lyman-$α$ optical depth in the templates used for redshift estimation. New templates were derived for the DESI Year 1 quasar sample at $z > 1.6$ and we found the redshift dependent bias, $Δr_\parallel$, increased from $-1.94 \pm 0.15$ $h^{-1}$ Mpc to $-0.08 \pm 0.04$ $h^{-1}$ Mpc ($-205 \pm 15~\text{km s}^{-1}$ to $-9.0 \pm 4.0~\text{km s}^{-1}$). These new templates will be used to provide redshifts for the DESI Year 1 quasar sample.
