摘要
An essential aspect of cosmic voids is that these underdense regions provide complementary information about the properties of our Universe. Unlike dense regions, voids are avoided by matter and are less contaminated by baryonic processes. The first step to understanding the properties of cosmic voids is to correctly infer their mass profiles. In the literature, various techniques have been implemented. In this paper, we review them and implement a new technique that is based on Doppler lensing. We use a relativistic N-body code, Gevolution, to generate cosmological mass perturbations and implement a three-dimensional (3D) ray-tracing technique that follows the evolution of ray-bundles. We focus on the various properties of cosmic voids (e.g. void size function, 2-point correlation function, and the density profile of voids), and compare the results with their universal trends. We show that when weak lensing is combined with the Doppler lensing we obtain even tighter constraints than weak lensing alone. We also obtain better agreement between density profiles within central parts of voids inferred from lensing and density profiles inferred from halo tracers. The implication of the result relevant to the ongoing and prospective low-redshift spectroscopic surveys is briefly discussed.
