摘要:

暗物质晕内的星系形成,以及晕的形成本身,都会受到大尺度环境的影响。利用星系红移巡天的数据,评估环境对星系团的影响对于精确的宇宙学约束至关重要。我们调查这样一个环境的影响,真实空间和红移空间的星系聚类统计使用的半解析模型来自千年模拟。我们比较聚类统计原始SAM星系样本和洗牌的环境对星系属性的影响消除。在所检测的亮度阈值样本中,阈值亮度最低(~0.2L *)的样本受环境影响最大,洗牌后其实空间两点关联函数(2 PCF)下降了约10%.通过将2 PCF分解成五个不同的组件的基础上对的来源,我们表明,在2 PCF的变化可以解释的年龄和丰富度依赖的晕聚类。在红移空间中的2 PCF被发现以类似的方式改变后洗牌。如果忽略环境影响,实空间和红移空间聚类的晕占据分布建模可能具有小于6.5%的系统不确定性,从受影响最大的SAM样本中约束β,并具有显著较小的不确定性,从其他更明亮的样本。我们认为,实际上这种影响可能更小。在附录中,我们提出了一种分解2 PCF的方法,该方法可以应用于测量体积有限的星系样本中的星系子样本的两点自关联函数和它们的两点交叉关联函数。

英文摘要:

Galaxy formation inside dark matter halos, as well as the halo formation itself, can be affected by large-scale environments. Evaluating the imprints of environmental effects on galaxy clustering is crucial for precise cosmological constraints with data from galaxy redshift surveys. We investigate such an environmental impact on both real-space and redshift-space galaxy clustering statistics using a semi-analytic model derived from the Millennium Simulation. We compare clustering statistics from original SAM galaxy samples and shuffled ones with environmental influence on galaxy properties eliminated. Among the luminosity-threshold samples examined, the one with the lowest threshold luminosity (~0.2L_*) is affected by environmental effects the most, which has a ~10% decrease in the real-space two-point correlation function (2PCF) after shuffling. By decomposing the 2PCF into five different components based on the source of pairs, we show that the change in the 2PCF can be explained by the age and richness dependence of halo clustering. The 2PCFs in redshift space are found to change in a similar manner after shuffling. If the environmental effects are neglected, halo occupation distribution modeling of the real-space and redshift-space clustering may have a less than 6.5% systematic uncertainty in constraining beta from the most affected SAM sample and have substantially smaller uncertainties from the other, more luminous samples. We argue that the effect could be even smaller in reality. In the Appendix, we present a method to decompose the 2PCF, which can be applied to measure the two-point auto-correlation functions of galaxy sub-samples in a volume-limited galaxy sample and their two-point cross-correlation functions in a single run utilizing only one random catalog.
