The Alcock-Paczyński test in redshifted twenty one centimeter maps
نویسنده
چکیده
We examine the possibility of constraining the cosmological mean mass and dark energy densities by an application of the Alcock-Paczyński test on redshifted 21-cm maps of the epoch of reionization. The 21-cm data will be provided as a function of frequency and angular positions on the sky. The ratio of the frequency to angular distance scales can be determined by inspecting the anisotropy pattern of the correlation function of brightness temperature. We assess the sensitivity of the distance ratio to the cosmological parameters and present a technique for disentangling geometrical distortions from redshift space distortions caused by peculiar motions.

Separating out the Alcock-Paczyński Effect on 21cm Fluctuations
We reconsider the Alcock-Paczyński effect on 21cm fluctuations from high redshift, focusing on the 21cm power spectrum. We show that at each accessible redshift both the angular diameter distance and the Hubble constant can be determined from the power spectrum. Furthermore, this is possible using anisotropies that depend only on linear density perturbations and not on astrophysical sources of ...
متن کاملA potentially pure test of cosmic geometry: galaxy clusters and the real space Alcock-Paczyński test
We investigate the possibility of probing dark energy by measuring the isotropy of the galaxy cluster autocorrelation function (an Alcock-Paczyński test). The correlation function is distorted in redshift space because of the cluster peculiar velocities, but if these are known and can be subtracted, the correlation function measurement becomes in principle a pure test of cosmic geometry. Galaxy...
متن کاملWhat will anisotropies in the clustering pattern in redshifted 21 cm maps tell us ?
The clustering pattern in high redshift HI maps is expected to be anisotropic due to two distinct reasons, the Alcock-Paczynski effect and the peculiar velocities, both of which are sensitive to the cosmological parameters. The signal is also expected to be sensitive to the details of the HI distribution at the epoch when the radiation originated. We use simple models for the HI distribution at...
متن کاملDevelopment and characterization of microsatellite loci for Fenneropenaeus penicillatus Alcock
Eight novel microsatellite loci from the genome of Fenneropenaeus penicillatus Alcock were developed using the protocol of fast isolation by amplified fragment length polymorphism of sequences containing repeats (FIASCO). Thirty (30) wild individuals were used to analyze the polymorphism of these eight microsatellite markers. The results show that the number of alleles per locus and the polymor...
متن کاملBiased Reionisation and Non-Gaussianity in Redshifted 21cm Intensity Maps of the Reionisation Epoch
Spatial dependence in the statistics of redshifted 21cm fluctuations promises to provide the most powerful probe of the reionisation epoch. In this paper we consider the second and third moments of the redshifted 21cm intensity distribution using a simple model that accounts for galaxy bias during the reionisation process. We demonstrate that skewness in redshifted 21cm maps should be substanti...
