利用星系尺寸而非数量密度波动,可有效探测局部原初非高斯性,提升检测显著性,并通过正负号翻转缓解系统误差。

摘要:

halo和星系功率谱的尺度依赖性偏置是局部原初非高斯性(local PNG)的关键特征,PNG敏感度随$b_ϕ/b_1$变化,即其对长波原初势能$b_ϕ$和晚期密度波动$b_1$响应的比值。对于数密度波动,这些响应由普遍关系联系,限制了可实现的比值。我们证明尺寸密度波动强烈违反这一关系,从而突破限制。对于星系质量halo,尺寸具有极小的密度响应,但有显著的负局部PNG响应,暗示有效$b_ϕ/b_1$的大小和符号与数量计数相反。这使星系尺寸成为同一星系样本中局部PNG的互补探测器,无需样本分割。对于DESI类调查,结合星系数量和尺寸的多探测器分析可将局部PNG检测显著性提升约3.6倍。由于符号翻转,数量-尺寸交叉功率谱进一步提供了在检测事件中处理系统误差的手段。

英文摘要:

The scale-dependent bias in halo and galaxy power spectra is a key signature of local primordial non-Gaussianity (local PNG), with PNG sensitivity scaling as $b_ϕ/b_1$ -- the ratio of their responses to long-wavelength primordial potential $b_ϕ$ and late-time density fluctuations $b_1$. For number density fluctuations, these responses are closely tied by the universality relation, limiting the achievable ratio. We show that size density fluctuations strongly violate this relation, thus evading the limit. For galaxy-mass halos, sizes have a vanishingly small density response but a sizable, negative local PNG response, implying an effective $b_ϕ/b_1$ that is large in magnitude and opposite in sign to that of number counts. This makes galaxy sizes complementary probes of local PNG from the same galaxy sample, without any sample split. For a DESI-like survey, a multi-tracer analysis combining galaxy numbers and sizes improves the local-PNG detection significance by a factor of $\sim\!3.6$. Due to the sign flip, the number-size cross power spectrum further provides a handle on systematics in the event of a detection.
