AI总结:

本研究通过解析模型和对数正态模拟探讨了Ly$α$辐射转移效应对强度映射功率谱的影响,发现吸收和谱线偏移会显著改变功率谱统计特征,且HETDEX能够有效约束这些效应。

摘要:

Ly$α$ 发射星系(LAEs)的聚集和 Ly$α$ 谱线强度映射(LIM)是宇宙学的有用探针。然而,Ly$α$ 辐射转移(RT)效应(如吸收、谱线偏移和谱线展宽)及其对大尺度密度和速度场的依赖,可能会改变测量到的 LAE 聚集和 LIM 统计数据。我们通过两种方式探索了 RT 对 Ly$α$ LIM 功率谱的影响:使用基于线性近似的解析描述,以及使用对数正态模拟。星际间 Ly$α$ 吸收对 LIM 自功率谱和交叉功率谱的定性影响包括:尺度相关的、降低的有效偏差,降低的平均强度,以及改变的红移空间畸变。线性吸收模型不能很好地描述对数正态模拟的结果。随机谱线偏移抑制了红移空间功率谱,类似于上帝之指效应。在 LAEs 或 Ly$α$ 强度与非 Ly$α$ 示踪剂的交叉相关中,Ly$α$ 谱线偏移导致复功率谱的相位偏移,即实部的余弦阻尼。我们使用对数正则模拟研究了 Ly$α$ RT 效应对 Hobby-Eberly 望远镜暗能量实验(HETDEX)LAE 和 LIM 功率谱的影响。我们发现,即使是少量的 IGM 吸收也会显著改变测量到的 LAE 自功率谱。LAE-强度交叉功率谱保持在测量不确定度范围内。因此,HETDEX 将能够约束 Ly$α$ RT 效应。

英文摘要:

Clustering of Ly$α$-emitting galaxies (LAEs) and Ly$α$ line intensity mapping (LIM) are useful probes of cosmology. However, Ly$α$ radiative transfer (RT) effects, such as absorption, line shift, and line broadening, and their dependence on the large-scale density and velocity fields can modify the measured LAE clustering and LIM statistics. We explore the effects of RT on the Ly$α$ LIM power spectrum in two ways: using an analytic description based on linear approximations, and using lognormal mocks. The qualitative effects of intergalactic Ly$α$ absorption on the LIM auto- and cross-power spectrum include a scale-dependent, reduced effective bias, reduced mean intensity, and modified redshift-space distortions. The linear absorption model does not describe the results of the lognormal simulations well. The random line shift suppresses the redshift-space power spectrum similar to the Fingers-of-God effect. In cross-correlation of LAEs or Ly$α$ intensity with a non-Ly$α$ tracer, the Ly$α$ line shift leads to a phase shift of the complex power spectrum, i.e. a cosine damping of the real part. We study the impact of Ly$α$ RT effects on the Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX) LAE and LIM power spectra using lognormal mocks. We find that even small amounts of IGM absorption will significantly change the measured LAE auto-power spectrum. The LAE-intensity cross-power spectrum stays within the measurement uncertainty. Therefore, HETDEX will be able to constrain Ly$α$ RT effects.
