通过比较宇宙起源谱仪获得的Ly-$\alpha$森林数据沿着82条类星体视线的通量概率分布函数和功率谱,我们将H I光电离率$(\Gamma_{\rm HI})$约束在z \lesssim 0.45$。我们开发了一个名为“电离和温度演化代码(CITE)”的模块,通过对GADGET-2模拟结果的后处理,计算星系际介质(IGM)温度从高红移到低红移的演化。我们的方法,产生的结果与其他模拟一致,计算成本较低,从而使我们能够探索一个大的参数空间。它还允许严格估计的误差协方差矩阵的各种统计量的利益。我们发现,最佳拟合$\Gamma_{\rm HI}(z)$随着z$的增加而增加,并遵循$(4 \pm 0.1)\times 10^{-14}\:(1+z)^{4.99 \pm 0.12}$ s$^{-1}$。在任何给定的z$上,典型的不确定性$\Delta \Gamma_{\rm HI} / \Gamma_{\rm HI}$为25$ %,其中不仅包含统计误差,还包含因IGM热历史和宇宙学参数的可能简并以及拟合类星体连续体的不确定性而产生的误差。这些$\Gamma_{\rm HI}$的值有利于只有类星体对z<2$的电离背景有贡献的情况。我们推导出的平均逃逸分数的3\sigma $上限为0.008 $,与低z$星系的测量结果一致。
We constrain the H I photoionization rate $(\Gamma_{\rm HI})$ at $z \lesssim 0.45$ by comparing the flux probability distribution function and power spectrum of the Ly-$\alpha$ forest data along 82 QSO sightlines obtained using Cosmic Origins Spectrograph with models generated from smoothed particle hydrodynamic simulations. We have developed a module named "Code for Ionization and Temperature Evolution (CITE)" for calculating the intergalactic medium (IGM) temperature evolution from high to low redshifts by post-processing the GADGET-2 simulation outputs. Our method, that produces results consistent with other simulations, is computationally less expensive thus allowing us to explore a large parameter space. It also allows rigorous estimation of the error covariance matrix for various statistical quantities of interest. We find that the best-fit $\Gamma_{\rm HI}(z)$ increases with $z$ and follows $(4 \pm 0.1) \times 10^{-14}\:(1+z)^{4.99 \pm 0.12}$ s$^{-1}$. At any given $z$ the typical uncertainties $\Delta \Gamma_{\rm HI} / \Gamma_{\rm HI}$ are $\sim 25$ per cent which contains not only the statistical errors but also those arising from possible degeneracy with the thermal history of the IGM and cosmological parameters and uncertainties in fitting the QSO continuum. These values of $\Gamma_{\rm HI}$ favour the scenario where only QSOs contribute to the ionizing background at $z<2$. Our derived $3\sigma$ upper limit on average escape fraction is $0.008$, consistent with measurements of low-$z$ galaxies.
