|
---|
142 | The study of the statistical properties of Large Scale Structure (LSS) in the Universe and their evolution
|
---|
143 | with redshift is one the major tools in observational cosmology. Theses structures are usually mapped through
|
---|
144 | optical observation of galaxies which are used as tracers of the underlying matter distribution.
|
---|
145 | An alternative and elegant approach for mapping the matter distribution, using neutral atomic hydrogen
|
---|
146 | (\HI) as tracer with Total Intensity Mapping, has been proposed in recent years \citep{peterson.06} \citep{chang.08}.
|
---|
147 | Mapping the matter distribution using HI 21 cm emission as a tracer has been extensively discussed in literature
|
---|
148 | \citep{furlanetto.06} \citep{tegmark.08} and is being used in projects such as LOFAR \citep{rottgering.06} or
|
---|
149 | MWA \citep{bowman.07} to observe reionisation at redshifts z $\sim$ 10.
|
---|
150 |
|
---|
151 | Evidences in favor of the acceleration of the expansion of the universe have been
|
---|
152 | accumulated over the last twelve years, thank to the observation of distant supernovae,
|
---|
153 | CMB anisotropies and detailed analysis of the LSS.
|
---|
154 | A cosmological Constant ($\Lambda$) or new cosmological
|
---|
155 | energy density called {\em Dark Energy} has been advocated as the origin of this acceleration.
|
---|
156 | Dark Energy is considered as one the most intriguing puzzles in Physics and Cosmology.
|
---|
157 | % Constraining the properties of this new cosmic fluid, more precisely
|
---|
158 | % its equation of state is central to current cosmological researches.
|
---|
159 | Several cosmological probes can be used to constrain the properties of this new cosmic fluid,
|
---|
160 | more precisely its equation of state: The Hubble Diagram, or luminosity distance as a function
|
---|
161 | of redshift of supernovae as standard candles, galaxy clusters, weak shear observations
|
---|
162 | and Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO).
|
---|
163 |
|
---|
164 | BAO are features imprinted in the distribution of galaxies, due to the frozen
|
---|
165 | sound waves which were present in the photons baryons plasma prior to recombination
|
---|
166 | at z $\sim$ 1100.
|
---|
167 | This scale, which can be considered as a standard ruler with a comoving
|
---|
168 | length of $\sim 150 Mpc$.
|
---|
169 | Theses features have been first observed in the CMB anisotropies
|
---|
170 | and are usually referred to as {\em acoustic pics} \citep{mauskopf.00} \citep{hinshaw.08}.
|
---|
171 | The BAO modulation has been subsequently observed in the distribution of galaxies
|
---|
172 | at low redshift ( $z < 1$) in the galaxy-galaxy correlation function by the SDSS
|
---|
173 | \citep{eisenstein.05} \citep{percival.07} and 2dGFRS \citep{cole.05} optical galaxy surveys.
|
---|
174 |
|
---|
175 | Ongoing or future surveys plan to measure precisely the BAO scale in the redshift range
|
---|
176 | $0 \lesssim z \lesssim 3$, using either optical observation of galaxies or through 3D mapping
|
---|
177 | Lyman $\alpha$ absorption lines toward distant quasars \citep{baorss} \cite{baolya}.
|
---|
178 | Mapping matter distribution using 21 cm emission of neutral hydrogen appears as
|
---|
179 | a very promising technique to map matter distribution up to redshift $z \sim 3$,
|
---|
180 | complementary to optical surveys, especially in the optical redshift desert range
|
---|
181 | $1 \lesssim z \lesssim 2$.
|
---|
182 |
|
---|
183 | In section 2, we discuss the intensity mapping and its potential for measurement of the
|
---|
184 | \HI mass distribution power spectrum. The method used in this paper to characterize
|
---|
185 | a radio instrument response and sensitivity for $P_{\mathrm{H_I}}(k)$ is presented in section 3.
|
---|
186 | We show also the results for the 3D noise power spectrum for several instrument configurations.
|
---|
187 | The contribution of foreground emissions due to the galactic synchrotron and radio sources
|
---|
188 | is described in section 4, as well as a simple component separation method The performance of this
|
---|
189 | method using sky model or known radio sources are also presented in section 4.
|
---|
190 | The constraints which can be obtained on the Dark Energy parameters and DETF figure
|
---|
191 | of merit for typical 21 cm intensity mapping survey are shown in section 5.

|

203 | %%%
|
---|
204 | Most of the cosmological information in the LSS is located at large scales
|
---|
205 | ($ \gtrsim 1 \mathrm{deg}$), while the interpretation at smallest scales
|
---|
206 | might suffer from the uncertainties on the non linear clustering effects.
|
---|
207 | The BAO features in particular are at the degree angular scale on the sky
|
---|
208 | and thus can be resolved easily with a rather modest size radio instrument
|
---|
209 | ($D \lesssim 100 \mathrm{m}$). The specific BAO clustering scale ($k_{\mathrm{BAO}}$
|
---|
210 | can be measured both in the transverse plane (angular correlation function, $k_{\mathrm{BAO}}^\perp$)
|
---|
211 | or along the longitudinal (line of sight or redshift, $k_{\mathrm{BAO}}^\parallel$ ) direction. A direct measurement of
|
---|
212 | the Hubble parameter $H(z)$ can be obtained by comparing the longitudinal and transverse
|
---|
213 | BAO scale. A reasonably good redshift resolution $\delta z \lesssim 0.01$ is needed to resolve
|
---|
214 | longitudinal BAO clustering, which is a challenge for photometric optical surveys.
|
---|
215 |
|
---|
216 | In order to obtain a measurement of the LSS power spectrum with small enough statistical
|
---|
217 | uncertainties (sample or cosmic variance), a large volume of the universe should be observed,
|
---|
218 | typically few $Gpc^3$. Moreover, stringent constrain on DE parameters can be obtained when
|
---|
219 | comparing the distance or Hubble parameter measurements as a function of redshift with
|
---|
220 | DE models, which translates into a survey depth $\Delta z \gtrsim 1$.
|
---|
221 |
|
---|
222 | Radio instruments intended for BAO surveys must thus have large instantaneous field
|
---|
223 | of view (FOV $\gtrsim 10 \mathrm{deg^2}$) and large bandwidth ($\Delta \nu \gtrsim 100 \, \mathrm{MHz}$).
|
---|
224 |
|
---|
225 | Although the application of 21 cm radio survey to cosmology, in particular LSS mapping has been
|
---|
226 | discussed in length in the framework of large future instruments, such as the SKA (e.g \cite{ska.science}),
|
---|
227 | the method envisaged has been mostly through the detection of galaxies as \HI compact sources.
|
---|
228 | However, extremely large radio telescopes are required to detected \HI sources at cosmological distances.
|
---|
229 | The sensitivity (or detection threshold) limit $S_{lim}$ for a radio instrument
|
---|
230 | characterized by an effective collecting area $A$, and system temperature $\Tsys$ can be written as
|
---|
231 | \begin{equation}
|
---|
232 | S_{lim} = \frac{ 2 \kb \, \Tsys }{ A \, \sqrt{t_{int} \delta \nu} }
|
---|
233 | \end{equation}
|
---|
234 | where $t_{int}$ is the total integration time $\delta \nu$ is the detection frequency band. In table
|
---|
235 | \ref{slims21} (left) we have computed the sensitivity for 4 different set of instrument effective area and system
|
---|
236 | temperature, with a total integration time of 86400 seconds (1 day) over a frequency band of 1 MHz.
|
---|
237 | The width of this frequency band is well adapted to detection of \HI source with an intrinsic velocity
|
---|
238 | dispersion of few 100 km/s. Theses detection limits should be compared with the expected 21 cm brightness
|
---|
239 | $S_{21}$ of compact sources which can be computed using the expression below:
|
---|
240 | \begin{equation}
|
---|
241 | S_{21} \simeq 0.021 \mathrm{\mu Jy} \, \frac{M_{H_I} }{M_\odot} \times
|
---|
242 | \left( \frac{ 1\, \mathrm{Mpc}}{\dlum} \right)^2 \times \frac{200 \, \mathrm{km/s}}{\sigma_v}
|
---|
243 | \end{equation}
|
---|
244 | where $ M_{H_I} $ is the neutral hydrogen mass, $\dlum$ is the luminosity distance and $\sigma_v$
|
---|
245 | is the source velocity dispersion.
|
---|
246 | {\color{red} Faut-il developper le calcul en annexe ? }
|
---|
247 |
|
---|
248 | In table \ref{slims21} (right), we show the 21 cm brightness for
|
---|
249 | compact objects with a total \HI \, mass of $10^{10} M_\odot$ and an intrinsic velocity dispersion of
|
---|
250 | $200 \mathrm{km/s}$. The luminosity distance is computed for the standard
|
---|
251 | WMAP \LCDM universe. $10^9 - 10^{10} M_\odot$ of neutral gas mass
|
---|
252 | is typical for large galaxies \citep{lah.09}. It is clear that detection of \HI sources at cosmological distances
|
---|
253 | would require collecting area in the range of $10^6 \mathrm{m^2}$.
|
---|
254 |
|
---|
255 | Intensity mapping has been suggested as an alternative and economic method to map the
|
---|
256 | 3D distribution of neutral hydrogen \citep{chang.08} \citep{ansari.08}. In this approach,
|
---|
257 | sky brightness map with angular resolution $\sim 10-30 \mathrm{arc.min}$ is made for a
|
---|
258 | wide range of frequencies. Each 3D pixel (2 angles $\vec{\Theta}$, frequency $\nu$ or wavelength $\lambda$)
|
---|
259 | would correspond to a cell with a volume of $\sim 10 \mathrm{Mpc^3}$, containing hundreds of galaxies and a total
|
---|
260 | \HI mass $ \gtrsim 10^{12} M_\odot$. If we neglect local velocities relative to the Hubble flow,
|
---|
261 | the observed frequency $\nu$ would be translated to the emission redshift $z$ through
|
---|
262 | the well known relation:
|
---|
263 | \begin{eqnarray}
|
---|
264 | z(\nu) & = & \frac{\nu_{21} -\nu}{\nu}
|
---|
265 | \, ; \, \nu(z) = \frac{\nu_{21}}{(1+z)}
|
---|
266 | \hspace{1mm} \mathrm{with} \hspace{1mm} \nu_{21} = 1420.4 \, \mathrm{MHz} \\
|
---|
267 | z(\lambda) & = & \frac{\lambda - \lambda_{21}}{\lambda_{21}}
|
---|
268 | \, ; \, \lambda(z) = \lambda_{21} \times (1+z)
|
---|
269 | \hspace{1mm} \mathrm{with} \hspace{1mm} \lambda_{21} = 0.211 \, \mathrm{m}
|
---|
270 | \end{eqnarray}
|
---|
271 | The large scale distribution of the neutral hydrogen, down to angular scales of $\sim 10 \mathrm{arc.min}$
|
---|
272 | can then be observed without the detection of individual compact \HI sources, using the set of sky brightness
|
---|
273 | map as a function frequency (3D-brightness map) $B_{21}(\vec{\Theta},\lambda)$. The sky brightness $B_{21}$
|
---|
274 | (radiation power/unit solid angle/unit surface/unit frequency).
|
---|
275 | can be converted to brightness temperature using the well known black body Rayleigh-Jeans approximation:
|
---|
276 | $$ B(T,\lambda) = \frac{ 2 \kb T }{\lambda^2} $$

|
---|
315 | In the absence of any foreground or background radiation, the brightness temperature
|
---|
316 | for a given direction and wavelength $\TTlam$ would be proportional to
|
---|
317 | the local \HI number density $\etaHI(\vec{\Theta},z)$ through the relation:
|
---|
318 | \begin{equation}
|
---|
319 | \TTlamz = \frac{3}{32 \pi} \, \frac{h}{\kb} \, A_{21} \, \lambda_{21}^2 \times
|
---|
320 | \frac{c}{H(z)} \, (1+z)^2 \times \etaHI (\vec{\Theta}, z)
|
---|
321 | \end{equation}
|
---|
322 | where $A_{21}=1.87 \, 10^{-15} \mathrm{s^{-1}}$ is the spontaneous 21 cm emission
|
---|
323 | coefficient, $h$ is the Planck constant, $c$ the speed of light, $\kb$ the Boltzmann
|
---|
324 | constant and $H(z)$ is the Hubble parameter at the emission redshift.
|
---|
325 | For a \LCDM universe and neglecting radiation energy density, the Hubble parameter
|
---|
326 | can be expressed as:
|
---|
327 | \begin{equation}
|
---|
328 | H(z) \simeq \hub \, \left[ \Omega_m (1+z)^3 + \Omega_\Lambda \right]^{\frac{1}{2}}
|
---|
329 | \times 70 \, \, \mathrm{km/s/Mpc}
|
---|
330 | \end{equation}
|
---|
331 | Introducing the \HI mass fraction relative to the total baryon mass $\gHI$, the
|
---|
332 | neutral hydrogen number density can be written as:
|
---|
333 | \begin{equation}
|
---|
334 | \etaHI (\vec{\Theta}, z(\lambda) ) = \gHIz \times \Omega_B \frac{\rho_{crit}}{m_{H}} \times
|
---|
335 | \frac{\delta \rho_{H_I}}{\bar{\rho}_{H_I}} (\vec{\Theta},z)
|
---|
336 | \end{equation}
|
---|
337 | where $\Omega_B, \rho_{crit}$ are respectively the present day mean baryon cosmological
|
---|
338 | and critical densities, $m_{H}$ is the hydrogen atom mass, and
|
---|
339 | $\frac{\delta \rho_{H_I}}{\bar{\rho}_{H_I}}$ is the \HI density fluctuations.
|
---|
340 |
|
---|
341 | The present day neutral hydrogen fraction $\gHI(0)$ has been measured to be
|
---|
342 | $\sim 1\%$ of the baryon density \citep{zwann.05}:
|
---|
343 | $$ \Omega_{H_I} \simeq 3.5 \, 10^{-4} \sim 0.008 \times \Omega_B $$
|
---|
344 | The neutral hydrogen fraction is expected to increase with redshift. Study
|
---|
345 | of Lyman-$\alpha$ absorption indicate a factor 3 increase in the neutral hydrogen
|
---|
346 | fraction at $z=1.5$, compared to the its present day value $\gHI(z=1.5) \sim 0.025$
|
---|
347 | \citep{wolf.05}.
|
---|
348 | The 21 cm brightness temperature and the corresponding power spectrum can be written as \citep{wyithe.07} :
|
---|
349 | \begin{eqnarray}
|
---|
350 | \TTlamz & = & \bar{T}_{21}(z) \times \frac{\delta \rho_{H_I}}{\bar{\rho}_{H_I}} (\vec{\Theta},z) \\
|
---|
351 | P_{T_{21}}(k) & = & \left( \bar{T}_{21}(z) \right)^2 \, P(k) \\
|
---|
352 | \bar{T}_{21}(z) & \simeq & 0.054 \, \mathrm{mK}
|
---|
353 | \frac{ (1+z)^2 \, \hub }{\sqrt{ \Omega_m (1+z)^3 + \Omega_\Lambda } }
|
---|
354 | \dfrac{\Omega_B}{0.044} \, \frac{\gHIz}{0.01}
|
---|
355 | \end{eqnarray}
|
---|
356 |
|
---|
357 | The table \ref{tabcct21} below shows the mean 21 cm brightness temperature for the
|
---|
358 | standard \LCDM cosmology and either a constant \HI mass fraction $\gHI = 0.01$, or
|
---|
359 | linearly increasing $\gHI \simeq 0.008 \times (1+z) $. Figure \ref{figpk21} shows the
|
---|
360 | 21 cm emission power spectrum at several redshifts, with a constant neutral fraction at 2\%
|
---|
361 | ($\gHI=0.02$). The matter power spectrum has been computed using the
|
---|
362 | \cite{eisenhu.98} parametrisation. The correspondence with the angular scales is also
|
---|
363 | shown for the standard WMAP \LCDM cosmology, according to the relation:
|
---|
364 | \begin{equation}
|
---|
365 | \mathrm{ang.sc} = \frac{2 \pi}{k^{comov} \, \dang(z) \, (1+z) }
|
---|
366 | \hspace{3mm}
|
---|
367 | k^{comov} = \frac{2 \pi}{ \mathrm{ang.sc} \, \dang(z) \, (1+z) }
|
---|
368 | \end{equation}
|
---|
369 | where $k^{comov}$ is the comoving wave vector and $ \dang(z) $ is the angular diameter distance.
|
---|
370 | It should be noted that the maximum transverse $k^{comov} $ sensitivity range
|
---|
371 | for an instrument corresponds approximately to half of its angular resolution.

403 | \section{interferometric observations and P(k) measurement sensitivity }
|
---|
404 |
|
---|
405 | \subsection{Instrument response}
|
---|
406 | In astronomy we are usually interested in measuring the sky emission intensity,
|
---|
407 | $I(\vec{\Theta},\lambda)$ in a given wave band, as a function the direction. In radio astronomy
|
---|
408 | and interferometry in particular, receivers are sensitive to the sky emission complex
|
---|
409 | amplitudes. However, for most sources, the phases vary randomly and bear no information:
|
---|
410 | \begin{eqnarray}
|
---|
411 | & &
|
---|
412 | I(\vec{\Theta},\lambda) = | A(\vec{\Theta},\lambda) |^2 \hspace{2mm} , \hspace{1mm} I \in \mathbb{R}, A \in \mathbb{C} \\
|
---|
413 | & & < A(\vec{\Theta},\lambda) A^*(\vec{\Theta '},\lambda) >_{time} = \delta( \vec{\Theta} - \vec{\Theta '} ) I(\vec{\Theta},\lambda)
|
---|
414 | \end{eqnarray}
|
---|
415 | A single receiver can be characterized by its angular complex amplitude response $B(\vec{\Theta},\nu)$ and
|
---|
416 | its position $\vec{r}$ in a reference frame. the waveform complex amplitude $s$ measured by the receiver,
|
---|
417 | for each frequency can be written as a function of the electromagnetic wave vector
|
---|
418 | $\vec{k}_{EM}(\vec{\Theta}, \lambda) $ :
|
---|
419 | \begin{equation}
|
---|
420 | s(\lambda) = \iint d \vec{\Theta} \, \, \, A(\vec{\Theta},\lambda) B(\vec{\Theta},\lambda) e^{i ( \vec{k}_{EM} . \vec{r} )} \\
|
---|
421 | \end{equation}
|
---|
422 | We have set the electromagnetic (EM) phase origin at the center of the coordinate frame and
|
---|
423 | the EM wave vector is related to the wavelength $\lambda$ through the usual
|
---|
424 | $ | \vec{k}_{EM} | = 2 \pi / \lambda $. The receiver beam or antenna lobe $L(\vec{\Theta})$
|
---|
425 | corresponds to the receiver intensity response:
|
---|
426 | \begin{equation}
|
---|
427 | L(\vec{\Theta}) = B(\vec{\Theta},\lambda) \, B^*(\vec{\Theta},\lambda)
|
---|
428 | \end{equation}
|
---|
429 | The visibility signal between two receivers corresponds to the time averaged correlation between
|
---|
430 | signals from two receivers. If we assume a sky signal with random uncorrelated phase, the
|
---|
431 | visibility $\vis$ signal from two identical receivers, located at the position $\vec{r_1}$ and
|
---|
432 | $\vec{r_2}$ can simply be written as a function their position difference $\vec{\Delta r} = \vec{r_1}-\vec{r_2}$
|
---|
433 | \begin{equation}
|
---|
434 | \vis(\lambda) = < s_1(\lambda) s_2(\lambda)^* > = \iint d \vec{\Theta} \, \, I(\vec{\Theta},\lambda) L(\vec{\Theta},\lambda)
|
---|
435 | e^{i ( \vec{k}_{EM} . \vec{\Delta r} ) }
|
---|
436 | \end{equation}
|
---|
437 | This expression can be simplified if we consider receivers with narrow field of view
|
---|
438 | ($ L(\vec{\Theta},\lambda) \simeq 0$ for $| \vec{\Theta} | \gtrsim 10 \mathrm{deg.} $ ),
|
---|
439 | and coplanar in respect to their common axis.
|
---|
440 | If we introduce two {\em Cartesian} like angular coordinates $(\alpha,\beta)$ centered at
|
---|
441 | the common receivers axis, the visibilty would be written as the 2D Fourier transform
|
---|
442 | of the product of the sky intensity and the receiver beam, for the angular frequency
|
---|
443 | $2 \pi( \frac{\Delta x}{\lambda} , \frac{\Delta x}{\lambda} )$:
|
---|
444 | \begin{equation}
|
---|
445 | \vis(\lambda) \simeq \iint d\alpha d\beta \, \, I(\alpha, \beta) \, L(\alpha, \beta)
|
---|
446 | \exp \left[ i 2 \pi \left( \alpha \frac{\Delta x}{\lambda} + \beta \frac{\Delta y}{\lambda} \right) \right]
|
---|
447 | \end{equation}
|
---|
448 | where $(\Delta x, \Delta y)$ are the two receiver distances on a plane perpendicular to
|
---|
449 | the receiver axis. The $x$ and $y$ axis in the receiver plane are taken parallel to the
|
---|
450 | two $(\alpha, \beta)$ angular planes.
|
---|
451 |
|
---|
452 | Furthermore, we introduce the conjugate Fourier variables $(u,v)$ and the Fourier transforms
|
---|
453 | of the sky intensity and the receiver beam:
|
---|
454 | \begin{center}
|
---|
455 | \begin{tabular}{ccc}
|
---|
456 | $(\alpha, \beta)$ & \hspace{2mm} $\longrightarrow $ \hspace{2mm} & $(u,v)$ \\
|
---|
457 | $I(\alpha, \beta, \lambda)$ & \hspace{2mm} $\longrightarrow $ \hspace{2mm} & ${\cal I}(u,v, \lambda)$ \\
|
---|
458 | $L(\alpha, \beta, \lambda)$ & \hspace{2mm} $\longrightarrow $ \hspace{2mm} & ${\cal L}(u,v, \lambda)$ \\
|
---|
459 | \end{tabular}
|
---|
460 | \end{center}
|
---|
461 |
|
---|
462 | The visibility can then be interpreted as the weighted sum of the sky intensity, in an angular
|
---|
463 | wave number domain located around
|
---|
464 | $(u, v)_{12}=2 \pi( \frac{\Delta x}{\lambda} , \frac{\Delta x}{\lambda} )$. The weight function is
|
---|
465 | given by the receiver beam Fourier transform.
|
---|
466 | \begin{equation}
|
---|
467 | \vis(\lambda) \simeq \iint d u d v \, \, {\cal I}(u,v, \lambda) \, {\cal L}(u - 2 \pi \frac{\Delta x}{\lambda} , v - 2 \pi \frac{\Delta y}{\lambda} , \lambda)
|
---|
468 | \end{equation}
|
---|
469 |
|
---|
470 | A single receiver instrument would measure the total power integrated in a spot centered around the
|
---|
471 | origin in the $(u,v)$ or the angular wave mode plane. The shape of the spot depends on the receiver
|
---|
472 | beam pattern, but its extent would be $\sim 2 \pi D / \lambda$, where $D$ is the receiver physical
|
---|
473 | size. The correlation signal from a pair of receivers would measure the integrated signal on a similar
|
---|
474 | spot, located around the central angular wave mode $(u, v)_{12}$ determined by the relative
|
---|
475 | position of the two receivers (see figure \ref{figuvplane}).
|
---|
476 | In an interferometer with multiple receivers, the area covered by different receiver pairs in the
|
---|
477 | $(u,v)$ plane might overlap and some pairs might measure the same area (same base lines).
|
---|
478 | Several beam can be formed using different combination of the correlation from different
|
---|
479 | antenna pairs.

|
---|
492 | \subsection{Noise power spectrum}
|
---|
493 | Let's consider a total power measurement using a receiver at wavelength $\lambda$, over a frequency
|
---|
494 | bandwidth $\delta \nu$, with an integration time $t_{int}$, characterized by a system temperature
|
---|
495 | $\Tsys$. The uncertainty or fluctuations of this measurement due to the receiver noise can be written as
|
---|
496 | $\sigma_{noise}^2 = \frac{4 \Tsys^2}{t_{int} \, \delta \nu}$. This term
|
---|
497 | corresponds also to the noise for the visibility $\vis$ measured from two identical receivers, with uncorrelated
|
---|
498 | noise. If the receiver has an effective area $A \simeq \pi D^2$ or $A \simeq 4 D_x D_y$, the measurement
|
---|
499 | corresponds to the integration of power over a spot in the angular frequency plane with an area $\sim A/\lambda^2$.
|
---|
500 | The sky temperature measurement can thus be characterized by the noise spectral power density in
|
---|
501 | the angular frequencies plane $P_{noise}^{(u,v)} \simeq \frac{\sigma_{noise}^2}{A / \lambda^2}$, in $\mathrm{Kelvin^2}$
|
---|
502 | per unit area of angular frequencies $\frac{\delta u}{ 2 \pi} \times \frac{\delta v}{2 \pi}$:
|
---|
503 | \begin{eqnarray}
|
---|
504 | P_{noise}^{(u,v)} & = & \frac{\sigma_{noise}^2}{ A / \lambda^2 } \\
|
---|
505 | P_{noise}^{(u,v)} & \simeq & \frac{ \Tsys^2 }{t_{int} \, \delta \nu} \, \frac{ \lambda^2 }{ D^2 }
|
---|
506 | \hspace{5mm} \mathrm{units:} \, \mathrm{K^2 \times rad^2} \\
|
---|
507 | \end{eqnarray}
|
---|
508 |
|
---|
509 | In a given instrument configuration, if several ($n$) receiver pairs have the same baseline,
|
---|
510 | the noise power density in the corresponding $(u,v)$ plane area is reduced by a factor $1/n$.
|
---|
511 | When the intensity maps are projected in a 3D box in the universe and the 3D power spectrum
|
---|
512 | $P(k)$ is computed, angles are translated into comoving transverse distance scale,
|
---|
513 | and frequencies or wavelengths into comoving radial distance, using the following relations:
|
---|
514 | \begin{eqnarray}
|
---|
515 | \delta \alpha , \beta & \rightarrow & \delta \ell_\perp = (1+z) \, \dang(z) \, \delta \alpha,\beta \\
|
---|
516 | \delta \nu & \rightarrow & \delta \ell_\parallel = (1+z) \frac{c}{H(z)} \frac{\delta \nu}{\nu}
|
---|
517 | = (1+z) \frac{\lambda}{H(z)} \delta \nu \\
|
---|
518 | \delta u , v & \rightarrow & \delta k_\perp = \frac{ \delta u , v }{ (1+z) \, \dang(z) } \\
|
---|
519 | \frac{1}{\delta \nu} & \rightarrow & \delta k_\parallel = \frac{H(z)}{c} \frac{1}{(1+z)} \, \frac{\nu}{\delta \nu}
|
---|
520 | = \frac{H(z)}{c} \frac{1}{(1+z)^2} \, \frac{\nu_{21}}{\delta \nu}
|
---|
521 | \end{eqnarray}
|
---|
522 |
|
---|
523 | The three dimensional projected noise spectral density can then be written as:
|
---|
524 | \begin{equation}
|
---|
525 | P_{noise}(k) = \frac{\Tsys^2}{t_{int} \, \nu_{21} } \, \frac{\lambda^2}{D^2} \, \dang^2(z) \frac{c}{H(z)} \, (1+z)^4
|
---|
526 | \end{equation}
|
---|
527 |
|
---|
528 | $P_{noise}(k)$ would be in units of $\mathrm{mK^2 \, Mpc^3}$ with $\Tsys$ expressed in $\mathrm{mK}$,
|
---|
529 | $t_{int}$ in second, $\nu_{21}$ in $\mathrm{Hz}$, $c$ in $\mathrm{km/s}$, $\dang$ in $\mathrm{Mpc}$ and
|
---|
530 | $H(z)$ in $\mathrm{km/s/Mpc}$.
|
---|
531 | The matter or \HI distribution power spectrum determination statistical errors vary as the number of
|
---|
532 | observed Fourier modes, which is inversely proportional to volume of the universe
|
---|
533 | which is observed (sample variance).
|
---|
534 |
|
---|
535 | In the following, we will consider the survey of a fixed
|
---|
536 | fraction of the sky, defined by total solid angle $\Omega_{tot}$, performed during a fixed total
|
---|
537 | observation time $t_{obs}$. We will consider several instrument configurations, having
|
---|
538 | comparable instantaneous bandwidth, and comparable system receiver noise $\Tsys$:
|
---|
539 | \begin{enumerate}
|
---|
540 | \item Single dish instrument, diameter $D$ with one or several independent feeds (beams) in the focal plane
|
---|
541 | \item Filled square shaped arrays, made of $n = q \times q$ dishes of diameter $D_{dish}$
|
---|
542 | \item Packed or unpacked cylinder arrays
|
---|
543 | \item Semi-filled array of $n$ dishes
|
---|
544 | \end{enumerate}
|
---|
545 |
|
---|
546 | We compute below a simple expression for the noise spectral power density for radio
|
---|
547 | sky 3D mapping surveys.
|
---|
548 | It is important to notice that the instruments we are considering do not have a flat
|
---|
549 | response in the $(u,v)$ plane, and the observations provide no information above
|
---|
550 | $u_{max},v_{max}$. One has to take into account either a damping of the
|
---|
551 | observed sky power spectrum or an increase of the noise spectral power if
|
---|
552 | the observed power spectrum is corrected for damping. The white noise
|
---|
553 | expressions given below should thus be considered as a lower limit or floor of the
|
---|
554 | instrument noise spectral density.
|
---|
555 |
|
---|
556 | % \noindent {\bf Single dish instrument} \\
|
---|
557 | A single dish instrument with diameter $D$ would have an instantaneous field of view
|
---|
558 | (or 2D pixel size) $\Omega_{FOV} \sim \left( \frac{\lambda}{D} \right)^2$, and would require
|
---|
559 | a number of pointing $N_{point} = \frac{\Omega_{tot}}{\Omega_{FOV}}$ to cover the survey area.
|
---|
560 | The noise power spectral density could then be written as:
|
---|
561 | \begin{equation}
|
---|
562 | P_{noise}^{survey}(k) = \frac{\Tsys^2 \, \Omega_{tot} }{t_{obs} \, \nu_{21} } \, \dang^2(z) \frac{c}{H(z)} \, (1+z)^4
|
---|
563 | \end{equation}
|
---|
564 | For a single dish instrument equipped with a multi-feed or phase array receiver system,
|
---|
565 | with $n$ independent beam on sky, the noise spectral density decreases by a factor $n$,
|
---|
566 | thanks to the an increase of per pointing integration time.
|
---|
567 |
|
---|
568 | For a single dish of diameter $D$, or an interferometric instrument with maximal extent $D$,
|
---|
569 | observations provide information up to $u,v_{max} \lesssim 2 \pi D / \lambda $. This value of
|
---|
570 | $u,v_{max}$ would be mapped to a maximum transverse cosmological wave number
|
---|
571 | $k^{comov}_{\perp \, max}$:
|
---|
572 | \begin{eqnarray}
|
---|
573 | k^{comov}_{\perp} & = & \frac{(u,v)}{(1+z) \dang} \\

602 | \subsection{Instrument configurations and noise power spectrum}
|
---|
603 |
|
---|
604 | We have numerically computed the instrument response in the (u,v) plane for several
|
---|
605 | instrument configurations, at redshift $z=1$.
|
---|
606 | \begin{itemize}
|
---|
607 | \item[{\bf a} :] A packed array of $n=121 \, D_{dish}=5 \mathrm{m}$ dishes, arranged in
|
---|
608 | a square $11 \times 11$ configuration ($q=11$). This array covers an area of
|
---|
609 | $55 \times 55 \, \mathrm{m^2}$
|
---|
610 | \item [{\bf b} :] An array of $n=128 \, D_{dish}=5 \mathrm{m}$ dishes, arranged
|
---|
611 | in 8 rows, each with 16 dishes. These 128 dishes are spread over an area
|
---|
612 | $80 \times 80 \, \mathrm{m^2}$
|
---|
613 | \item [{\bf c} :] An array of $n=129 \, D_{dish}=5 \mathrm{m}$ dishes, arranged
|
---|
614 | over an area $80 \times 80 \, \mathrm{m^2}$. This configuration has in
|
---|
615 | particular 4 sub-arrays of packed 16 dishes ($4\times4$), located in the
|
---|
616 | four array corners.
|
---|
617 | \item [{\bf d} :] A single dish instrument, with diameter $D=75 \mathrm{m}$,
|
---|
618 | equipped with a 100 beam focal plane instrument.
|
---|
619 | \item[{\bf e} :] A packed array of $n=400 \, D_{dish}=5 \mathrm{m}$ dishes, arranged in
|
---|
620 | a square $20 \times 20$ configuration ($q=20$). This array covers an area of
|
---|
621 | $100 \times 100 \, \mathrm{m^2}$
|
---|
622 | \item[{\bf f} :] A packed array of 4 cylindrical reflectors, each 85 meter long and 12 meter
|
---|
623 | wide. The focal line of each cylinder is equipped with 100 receivers, each with length
|
---|
624 | $2 \lambda$, which corresponds to $\sim 0.85 \mathrm{m}$ at $z=1$.
|
---|
625 | This array covers an area of $48 \times 85 \, \mathrm{m^2}$, and have
|
---|
626 | a total of $400$ receivers per polarisation, as in the (e) configuration.
|
---|
627 | We have computed the noise power spectrum for {\em perfect}
|
---|
628 | cylinders, where all receiver pair correlations are used (fp), or for
|
---|
629 | a non perfect instrument, where only correlations between receivers
|
---|
630 | from different cylinders are used.
|
---|
631 | \item[{\bf g} :] A packed array of 8 cylindrical reflectors, each 102 meter long and 12 meter
|
---|
632 | wide. The focal line of each cylinder is equipped with 100 receivers, each with length
|
---|
633 | $2 \lambda$, which corresponds to $\sim 0.85 \mathrm{m}$ at $z=1$.
|
---|
634 | This array covers an area of $96 \times 102 \, \mathrm{m^2}$ and has
|
---|
635 | a total of 960 receivers per polarisation. As for the (f) configuration,
|
---|
636 | we have computed the noise power spectrum for {\em perfect}
|
---|
637 | cylinders, where all receiver pair correlations are used (gp), or for
|
---|
638 | a non perfect instrument, where only correlations between receivers
|
---|
639 | from different cylinders are used.
|
---|
640 | \end{itemize}
|
---|
641 | The array layout for configurations (b) and (c) are shown in figure \ref{figconfab}.

|

|
---|
654 |
|
---|
655 | We have used simple triangular shaped dish response in the $(u,v)$ plane.
|
---|
656 | However, we have introduced a fill factor or illumination efficiency
|
---|
657 | $\eta$, relating the effective dish diameter $D_{ill}$ to the
|
---|
658 | mechanical dish size $D^{ill} = \eta \, D_{dish}$.
|
---|
659 | \begin{eqnarray}
|
---|
660 | {\cal L}_\circ (u,v,\lambda) & = & \bigwedge_{[\pm 2 \pi D^{ill}/ \lambda]}(\sqrt{u^2+v^2}) \\
|
---|
661 | L_\circ (\alpha,\beta,\lambda) & = & \left[ \frac{ \sin (\pi (D^{ill}/\lambda) \sin \theta ) }{\pi (D^{ill}/\lambda) \sin \theta} \right]^2
|
---|
662 | \hspace{4mm} \theta=\sqrt{\alpha^2+\beta^2}
|
---|
663 | \end{eqnarray}
|
---|
664 | For the multi-dish configuration studied here, we have taken the illumination efficiency factor
|
---|
665 | {\bf $\eta = 0.9$}.
|
---|
666 |
|
---|
667 | For the receivers along the focal line of cylinders, we have assumed that the
|
---|
668 | individual receiver response in the $(u,v)$ plane corresponds to one from a
|
---|
669 | rectangular shaped antenna. The illumination efficiency factor has been taken
|
---|
670 | equal to $\eta_x = 0.9$ in the direction of the cylinder width, and $\eta_y = 0.8$
|
---|
671 | along the cylinder length. It should be noted that the small angle approximation
|
---|
672 | used here for the expression of visibilities is not valid for the receivers along
|
---|
673 | the cylinder axis. However, some preliminary numerical checks indicate that
|
---|
674 | the results obtained here for the noise power would not be significantly changed.
|
---|
675 | \begin{equation}
|
---|
676 | {\cal L}_\Box(u,v,\lambda) =
|
---|
677 | \bigwedge_{[\pm 2 \pi D^{ill}_x / \lambda]} (u ) \times
|
---|
678 | \bigwedge_{[\pm 2 \pi D^{ill}_y / \lambda ]} (v )
|
---|
679 | \end{equation}
|
---|
680 | Figure \ref{figuvcovabcd} for the four configurations with $\sim 100$ receivers per
|
---|
681 | polarisation. The resulting projected noise spectral power density is shown in figure
|
---|
682 | \ref{figpnoisea2g}. The increase of $P_{noise}(k)$ at low $k^{comov} \lesssim 0.02$
|
---|
683 | is due to the fact that we have ignored all auto-correlation measurements.
|
---|
684 | It can be seen that an instrument with $100$ beams and $\Tsys = 50 \mathrm{K}$
|
---|
685 | should have enough sensitivity to map LSS in 21 cm at redshift z=1.
