    Integrated HI emission in galaxy groups and clusters

    Full text link
    The integrated HI emission from hierarchical structures such as groups and clusters of galaxies can be detected by FAST at intermediate redshifts. Here we propose to use FAST to study the evolution of the global HI content of clusters and groups over cosmic time by measuring their integrated HI emissions. We use the Virgo cluster as an example to estimate the detection limit of FAST, and have estimated the integration time to detect a Virgo type cluster at different redshifts (from z=0.1 to z=1.5). We have also employed a semi-analytic model (SAM) to simulate the evolution of HI contents in galaxy clusters. Our simulations suggest that the HI mass of a Virgo-like cluster could be 2-3 times higher and the physical size could be more than 50\% smaller when redshift increases from z=0.3 to z=1. Thus the integration time could be reduced significantly and gas rich clusters at intermediate redshifts can be detected by FAST in less than 2 hour of integration time. For the local universe, we have also used SAM simulations to create mock catalogs of clusters to predict the outcomes from FAST all sky surveys. Comparing with the optically selected catalogs derived by cross matching the galaxy catalogs from the SDSS survey and the ALFALFA survey, we find that the HI mass distribution of the mock catalog with 20 second of integration time agrees well with that of observations. However, the mock catalog with 120 second integration time predicts much more groups and clusters that contains a population of low mass HI galaxies not detected by the ALFALFA survey. Future deep HI blind sky survey with FAST would be able to test such prediction and set constraints to the numerical simulation models. Observational strategy and sample selections for the future FAST observations of galaxy clusters at high redshifts are also discussed.Comment: 18 pages,5 figure

    Lifshitz holographic superconductor in Horava-Lifshitz gravity

    We study the holographic phase transition of superconductor dual to a Lifshitz black brane probed by an anisotropic scalar field in the probe limit in Ho\u{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity. With the use of numerical and analytical method, we investigate how the critical temperature of the condensation is affected by the Lifshitz exponent zz, α−\alpha-correction term in the action as well as the dimensions of the gravity. We also numerically explore the condensation of the dual operator and optical conductivity of the holographic system. Various interesting properties of the holographic condensation affected by the parameters of model are discussed

    Pair Production of Scalar Dyons in Kerr-Newman Black Holes

    Full text link
    We study the spontaneous pair production of scalar dyons in the near extremal dyonic Kerr-Newman (KN) black hole, which contains a warped AdS3_3 structure in the near horizon region. The leading term contribution of the pair production rate and the absorption cross section ratio are also calculated using the Hamilton-Jacobi approach and the thermal interpretation is given. In addition, the holographic dual conformal field theories (CFTs) descriptions of the pair production rate and absorption cross section ratios are analyzed both in the JJ-, QQ- and PP-pictures respectively based on the threefold dyonic KN/CFTs dualities.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figures, revtex4. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1607.0261
