三维星系相关的各向异性放大畸变:II。傅立叶空间与红移空间

Anisotropic Magnification Distortion of the 3D Galaxy Correlation: II. Fourier and Redshift Space

Lam Hui, Enrique Gaztanaga, Marilena LoVerde

摘要:

在本系列的第一篇论文中,我们讨论了放大偏差如何通过增强视线(LOS)方向上观察到的相关性来扭曲3D关联函数,特别是在大尺度上。这种透镜各向异性是独特的,使得有可能分别测量星系-星系,星系-放大率{ \it和}放大率-放大率的相关性。在这里,我们将讨论扩展到功率谱和红移空间。在实际空间中,即使对分离很大,靠近LOS方向的对也不会受到非线性的保护;这是因为非线性波动可以在小的横向分离(即碰撞参量)处通过引力透镜进入。在傅立叶空间中的情况是不同的:通过聚焦于小的波数$k$,正如通常所做的那样,线性度得到保证,因为LOS和横向波数都必须很小。这就是为什么星系相关性的放大畸变在傅立叶空间中显得不那么严重。尽管如此,这种影响是不可忽略的,特别是对于横向傅立叶模,并且应该在解释星系功率谱的精确测量时考虑在内,例如那些专注于重子振荡的测量。由于特殊的运动和Alcock-Paczynski效应,透镜诱导的功率谱各向异性的形状与更广为人知的红移空间各向异性不同。透镜各向异性在傅立叶空间中高度局部化,而红移空间畸变更分散。这意味着人们可以在实际观测中分离放大偏差分量,这意味着有可能在不测量星系形状的情况下进行引力透镜测量。

英文摘要:

In paper I of this series we discuss how magnification bias distorts the 3D correlation function by enhancing the observed correlation in the line-of-sight (LOS) orientation, especially on large scales. This lensing anisotropy is distinctive, making it possible to separately measure the galaxy-galaxy, galaxy-magnification {\it and} magnification-magnification correlations. Here we extend the discussion to the power spectrum and also to redshift space. In real space, pairs oriented close to the LOS direction are not protected against nonlinearity even if the pair separation is large; this is because nonlinear fluctuations can enter through gravitational lensing at a small transverse separation (or i.e. impact parameter). The situation in Fourier space is different: by focusing on a small wavenumber $k$, as is usually done, linearity is guaranteed because both the LOS and transverse wavenumbers must be small. This is why magnification distortion of the galaxy correlation appears less severe in Fourier space. Nonetheless, the effect is non-negligible, especially for the transverse Fourier modes, and should be taken into account in interpreting precision measurements of the galaxy power spectrum, for instance those that focus on the baryon oscillations. The lensing induced anisotropy of the power spectrum has a shape that is distinct from the more well known redshift space anisotropies due to peculiar motions and the Alcock-Paczynski effect. The lensing anisotropy is highly localized in Fourier space while redshift space distortions are more spread out. This means that one could separate the magnification bias component in real observations, implying that potentially it is possible to perform a gravitational lensing measurement without measuring galaxy shapes.
