Roman Space Telescope will survey about 17 million emission-line galaxies over a range of redshifts. Its main targets are Hα emission-line galaxies at low redshifts (z < 2) and [O iii] emission-line galaxies at high redshifts (z > 2). The Roman Space Telescope will estimate the redshift these galaxies with single line identification. This suggests that other emission-line galaxies may be misidentified as the main targets. In particular, it is hard to distinguish between the Hβ and [O iii] lines as the two lines are close in wavelength and hence the photometric information may not be sufficient to separate them reliably. Misidentifying Hβ emitter as [O iii] emitter will cause a shift in the inferred radial position of the galaxy by approximately 90 Mpc/h. This length scale is similar to the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) scale and could shift and broaden the BAO peak, possibly introduce errors in determining the BAO peak position. We qualitatively describe the effect of this new systematic and further quantify it with a lightcone simulation with emission-line galaxies. Our results show a systematic shift in the recovered isotropic BAO positions that depends on the percentage of interlopers (${{\ \rm per\ cent}}{\rm H}\beta$) in the sample. The systematic shift can be as large as $0.1-0.3{{\ \rm per\ cent}} \, {\rm x}\, {{\ \rm per\ cent}}{\rm H}\beta$ for analysis performed at redshifts z = 1.3 − 1.9.

光谱测量中的线混淆及其可能的影响:重子声学振荡位置的变化

罗马太空望远镜将在一系列红移范围内调查大约 1700 万个发射线星系。它的主要目标是低红移 (z < 2) 的 Hα 发射线星系和高红移 (z > 2) 的 [O iii] 发射线星系。罗马太空望远镜将通过单线识别来估计这些星系的红移。这表明其他发射线星系可能被误认为是主要目标。特别是,很难区分 Hβ 和 [O iii] 线,因为这两条线的波长接近,因此光度信息可能不足以可靠地将它们分开。错误地将 Hβ 发射器识别为 [O iii] 发射器将导致推断的星系径向位置偏移大约 90 Mpc/h。这个长度尺度与重子声学振荡 (BAO) 尺度相似,可以移动和加宽 BAO 峰,可能会在确定 BAO 峰位置时引入错误。我们定性地描述了这种新系统的影响,并通过发射线星系的光锥模拟进一步量化了它。我们的结果显示了恢复的各向同性 BAO 位置的系统变化,这取决于样本中闯入者的百分比(${{\ \rm per\ cent}}{\rm H}\beta$)。系统偏移可以大到$0.1-0.3{{\ \rm per\ cent}} \, {\rm x}\, {{\ \rm per\ cent}}{\rm H}\beta$进行分析在红移 z = 1.3 - 1.9 时执行。我们定性地描述了这种新系统的影响,并通过发射线星系的光锥模拟进一步量化了它。我们的结果显示了恢复的各向同性 BAO 位置的系统变化,这取决于样本中闯入者的百分比(${{\ \rm per\ cent}}{\rm H}\beta$)。系统偏移可以大到$0.1-0.3{{\ \rm per\ cent}} \, {\rm x}\, {{\ \rm per\ cent}}{\rm H}\beta$进行分析在红移 z = 1.3 - 1.9 时执行。我们定性地描述了这种新系统的影响,并通过发射线星系的光锥模拟进一步量化了它。我们的结果显示了恢复的各向同性 BAO 位置的系统变化,这取决于样本中闯入者的百分比(${{\ \rm per\ cent}}{\rm H}\beta$)。系统偏移可以大到$0.1-0.3{{\ \rm per\ cent}} \, {\rm x}\, {{\ \rm per\ cent}}{\rm H}\beta$进行分析在红移 z = 1.3 - 1.9 时执行。
