南極望遠鏡の新カメラの結果が明らかに(Results from South Pole Telescope’s new camera emerge)

南極の望遠鏡で行われた5年以上にわたる観測は、宇宙の初期形成からの残光を捉えています。最新のデータ分析では、初めてのCMB重力レンズ測定が行われ、既存の重力理論の検証や暗黒物質の理解に貢献しています。この成果は、宇宙の成り立ちや暗黒物質の役割など、我々の宇宙の性質についての新たな洞察をもたらす可能性があります。

ABSTRACT

The Rayleigh scattering of cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons off the neutral hydrogen produced during recombination effectively creates an additional scattering surface after recombination that encodes new cosmological information, including the expansion and ionization history of the universe. A first detection of Rayleigh scattering is a tantalizing target for next-generation CMB experiments. We have developed a Rayleigh scattering forecasting pipeline that includes instrumental effects, atmospheric noise, and astrophysical foregrounds (e.g., Galactic dust, cosmic infrared background, or CIB, and the thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect). We forecast the Rayleigh scattering detection significance for several upcoming ground-based experiments, including SPT−3G+, Simons Observatory, CCAT-prime, and CMB-S4, and examine the limitations from atmospheric and astrophysical foregrounds as well as potential mitigation strategies. When combined with Planck data, we estimate that the ground-based experiments will detect Rayleigh scattering with a significance between 1.6 and 3.7, primarily limited by atmospheric noise and the CIB.
