1 Relativistic effects in large-scale structure Camille Bonvin University of Geneva, Switzerland COSMO August 2017

2 Galaxy survey The distribution of galaxies is sensitive to: Credit: M. Blanton, SDSS the initial conditions the theory of gravity the content of the universe The large-scale structure contains valuable information To interpret properly this information, we need to understand what we are measuring. COSMO 2017 Camille Bonvin p. 2 /39

3 Galaxy survey We count the number of galaxies per pixel: = N N N How is related to: the initial conditions, the theory of gravity and dark energy? Credit: M. Blanton, SDSS COSMO 2017 Camille Bonvin p. 3 /39

4 Galaxy distribution Simple picture: dark matter is not homogeneously distributed it creates gravitational potential wells baryons fall into them and form galaxies More dark matter Less dark matter = δρ ρ δ COSMO 2017 Camille Bonvin p. 4 /39

5 Complications Bias: the distribution of galaxies does not trace directly the distribution of dark matter = b δ We never observe directly the position of galaxies, we observe the redshift zand the direction of incoming photons n. In a homogeneous universe: we calculate the distance r(z) light propagates on straight lines (x 1,x 2,x 3 ) r(z) Observer n COSMO 2017 Camille Bonvin p. 5 /39

6 Complications Bias: the distribution of galaxies does not trace directly the distribution of dark matter = b δ We never observe directly the position of galaxies, we observe the redshift zand the direction of incoming photons n. In a inhomogeneous universe: the redshift is perturbed r(z) light propagates on perturbed geodesics (x 1,x 2,x 3 ) r(z) Observer n COSMO 2017 Camille Bonvin p. 6 /39

7 Complications Bias: the distribution of galaxies does not trace directly the distribution of dark matter = b δ We never observe directly the position of galaxies, we observe the redshift zand the direction of incoming photons n. In a inhomogeneous universe: the redshift is perturbed r(z) light propagates on perturbed geodesics n Observer (x 1,x 2,x 3 ) r(z) COSMO 2017 Camille Bonvin p. 7 /39

8 Galaxy distribution The structures seen on a galaxy map do not reflect directly the underlying dark matter structures. The observed position of galaxies are shifted radially and transversally. Credit: M. Blanton, SDSS To extract information from a galaxy map, we need to understand exactly which distortions there are. COSMO 2017 Camille Bonvin p. 8 /39

9 Outline Expression for encoding all distortions at linear order = density + redshift distortions + lensing + relativistic effects Impact of the different terms on the correlation function The distortions change the standard multipoles The distortions generate new multipoles COSMO 2017 Camille Bonvin p. 9 /39

10 Calculation of the distortions Perturbed Friedmann universe: Galaxy ds 2 = a 2[ ( 1+2Ψ ) dη 2 + ( 1 2Φ ) δ ij dx i dx j] n µ We calculate the propagation of photons, i.e. the null geodesics and infer: Observer the change in energy the change in direction COSMO 2017 Camille Bonvin p. 10/39

33 Measuring the dipole in BOSS Gaztanaga, CB & Hui (2015) We split the LOWz and CMASS samples into 2 populations and measure the dipole. Dipole LOWz S N LOWz CMASS d Mpc h d Mpc h COSMO 2017 Camille Bonvin p. 33/39

34 Improvements Measure the dipole at lower redshift to increase the signal. Use a sample with diverse populations to increase the bias difference. Divide the sample into more than 2 populations to gain in statistics. Use an optimal estimator: weight each pair by the bias difference. COSMO 2017 Camille Bonvin p. 34/39

38 Interest The dipole is sensitive to the gravitational potential. rel = 1 H rψ+ ( 1 Ḣ H 2 2 rh ) V n+ 1 H V n Combining the dipole with the quadrupole, we can test Euler equation. CB and Fleury, in preparation V n+hv n+ r Ψ = 0 COSMO 2017 Camille Bonvin p. 38/39

39 Conclusion The fluctuations in the number of galaxies is affected by many effects besides the matter density fluctuations. These effects have a different signature in the correlation function: density monopole redshift distortions quadrupole and hexadecapole lensing higher multipoles relativistic effects dipole The dipole should be detectable in the near future and allow for new tests of gravity.
