ABSTRACT

The outskirts of galaxy clusters present a promising avenue for constraining cluster masses in a way that is robust to the impact of baryonic physics. We assess the accuracy to which the cluster infall regions can be used to for cluster mass calibration. Building on previous work, we parameterize the velocity distribution $P(v_{ m r},v_{ m tan}|r,M)$ of dark matter halos on scales $r \geq 5\ h^{-1}\ m{Mpc}$ as the product of the marginalized distribution $P(v_{ m r}|r,M)$ and the conditional distribution $P(v_{ m tan}|v_{ m r},r,M)$, calibrating the radial and mass dependence of these distributions in numerical simulations. We then project our model along the line-of-sight to obtain accurate predictions for the distributions of line-of-sight velocities at a given projected radius and cluster mass $P(v_{ m LOS}|R,M)$, which we can observe with spectroscopic survey data. With our model, we forecast that spectra from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) can constrain cluster masses with sub-percent level precision, comparable to that of Stage IV weak lensing surveys.

研究动机与目标

  • 通过边缘区域减小 baryonic 物理影响来推动鲁棒的聚簇质量标定。
  • 建立聚簇环境中坍落星系的速度分布模型。
  • 将径向与切向速度分布及其质量依赖参数化。
  • 将三维速度模型投影到可观测的视线速度分布 P(v_LOS|R,M)。
  • 预测 DESI 光谱调查在高精度约束聚簇质量方面的能力。

提出的方法

  • 将关联速度分布 P(v_r,v_t|r) 表示为 P(v_r|r)P(v_t|v_r,r)。
  • 用 Johnson SU (JSU) 分布拟合 P(v_r|r),参数为 (v_r,peak, σ^2_vr) 以及质量/半径的依赖性。
  • 用自由度为 5 的 Student’s t 分布描述 P(v_t|v_r,r),其方差 σ_vt^2(v_r|r) 为 v_r 的三次函数,且参数随 r 与 M 而变。
  • 通过对模型参数进行幂律尺度(枢点质量/半径)与平滑校准来引入质量依赖。
  • 通过将联合 P(v_r,v_t|r) 在 LOS 几何和向内密度分布 ρ_inf(r) 上积分类,计算 LOS 速度分布 P(v_LOS|R,M)。
  • 通过 Fisher 分析结合 DESI 类星系计数与泊松协方差来预测聚簇质量约束。
