我们给出了一组模拟实验的结果,旨在量化来自Histral线堆叠实验的结果的准确性。我们重点研究了空间和光谱孔径大小以及红移不确定性对共加Hisspectra的影响,并暗示了Hiline光谱叠加实验结果的有用性。使用大空间孔径来提取组成星系的光谱会产生污染程度较高且信噪比相对较低的共加光谱(S/NS)。这些性质还受到光谱孔径大小以及星系的HiredShift不确定性的影响。当红移不确定度较高时,S/N值减小,而污染水平基本保持不变。在存在较大的HiredShift不确定度的情况下,使用小的光谱孔径可以在不降低污染物通量的预期的情况下显著降低S/N。我们的模拟表明,共同相加的光谱很少能准确测量星系样本的总Himass。无论光谱孔径大小如何,对于大/小的空间孔径,总质量通常被高估或低估。我们的发现有力地表明,任何共同添加的Higalaxy谱都需要用本文提出的方法完全模拟,以便对通量污染进行准确的修正,并得出Higalaxy总质量的实际不确定度。如果做不到这一点,将导致对星系和宇宙学参数的不可靠推断,如ΩHi。
We present the results of a set of mock experiments aimed at quantifying the accuracy of results derived from Hispectral line stacking experiments. We focus on the effects of spatial and spectral aperture sizes and redshift uncertainties on co-added Hispectra, and by implication on the usefulness of results from Hiline spectral stacking experiments. Using large spatial apertures to extract constituent galaxy spectra yields co-added spectra with high levels of contamination and with relatively low signal-to-noise ratios (S/Ns). These properties are also affected by the size of the spectral aperture as well as Hiredshift uncertainties of galaxies. When redshift uncertainties are high, S/N decreases while the contamination level remains roughly constant. Using small spectral apertures in the presence of large Hiredshift uncertainties can yield significant decreases in S/N without the expected decrease in the amount of contaminant flux. Our simulations show that a co-added spectrum rarely yields an accurate measure of the total Himass of a galaxy sample. Total mass is generally over/underestimated for large/small spatial apertures, regardless of spectral aperture size. Our findings strongly suggest that any co-added Higalaxy spectrum needs to be fully modelled in the ways presented in this paper in order to apply accurate corrections for flux contamination and derive realistic uncertainties in total Higalaxy mass. Failing to do so will result in unreliable inferences of galaxy and cosmological parameters, such as ΩHi.
