来自380,000个具有光度红移的SDSS发光红星系的晕模型特征

Halo-model signatures from 380,000 SDSS Luminous Red Galaxies with photometric redshifts

Chris Blake, Adrian Collister, Ofer Lahav

摘要:

我们分析了“MegaZ-LRG”中的小尺度聚类,这是一个从斯隆数字巡天的成像数据集中提取的大光度红移目录。MegaZ-LRG在一篇配套论文中提出,它的红移范围为0.4 < z < 0.7,均方根值为0.05。红移误差dz ~ 0.03(1+z),覆盖5,914 deg^2,绘制出的宇宙总体积为2.5 h^-3 Gpc ^3。在这项研究中,我们使用380,000测光红移测量显着偏离正则幂律拟合角关联函数在一系列窄的红移切片,其中我们构建体积有限的样品。这些偏差是这些星系填充底层暗物质晕网络方式的直接标志。我们清楚地描绘了“1-halo”和“2-halo”聚类项的单独贡献,并通过参数化星系的晕占据分布N(M)来拟合我们的测量结果。我们的研究结果是成功地拟合的“中央”星系的贡献与“软”过渡从零到一个星系,结合幂律“卫星”星系的组成部分,其中的斜率是一个强大的功能星系光度。绝大多数星系被归类为其宿主暗物质晕的中心物体,而不是更大质量系统中的卫星。MegaZ-LRG星系的有效晕质量在log_10(M_eff / h^-1 M_sol)= 13.61 - 13.8的范围内(随着红移的增加而增加,假设大尺度归一化σ_8 = 0.8),相应的数密度在5.03 - 0.56 x 10^-4 h^3 Mpc^-3的范围内。我们的研究结果证实了有用的晕模型获得物理洞察星系团的模式。

英文摘要:

We analyze the small-scale clustering in "MegaZ-LRG", a large photometric-redshift catalogue of Luminous Red Galaxies extracted from the imaging dataset of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. MegaZ-LRG, presented in a companion paper, spans the redshift range 0.4 < z < 0.7 with an r.m.s. redshift error dz ~ 0.03(1+z), covering 5,914 deg^2 to map out a total cosmic volume 2.5 h^-3 Gpc^3. In this study we use 380,000 photometric redshifts to measure significant deviations from the canonical power-law fit to the angular correlation function in a series of narrow redshift slices, in which we construct volume-limited samples. These deviations are direct signatures of the manner in which these galaxies populate the underlying network of dark matter haloes. We cleanly delineate the separate contributions of the "1-halo" and "2-halo" clustering terms and fit our measurements by parameterizing the halo occupation distribution N(M) of the galaxies. Our results are successfully fit by a "central" galaxy contribution with a "soft" transition from zero to one galaxies, combined with a power-law "satellite" galaxy component, the slope of which is a strong function of galaxy luminosity. The large majority of galaxies are classified as central objects of their host dark matter haloes rather than satellites in more massive systems. The effective halo mass of MegaZ-LRG galaxies lies in the range log_10 (M_eff / h^-1 M_sol) = 13.61 - 13.8 (increasing with redshift, assuming large-scale normalization sigma_8 = 0.8) for corresponding number densities in the range n_g = 5.03 - 0.56 x 10^-4 h^3 Mpc^-3. Our results confirm the usefulness of the halo model for gaining physical insight into the patterns of galaxy clustering.
