摘要:

我们测量了从斯隆数字巡天数据发布5中选择的低红移(0.2<z<0.6)类星体样本周围的光度选择的明亮的红色星系样本的聚类。我们利用一个新的统计估计,以获得精确的测量的LRG自相关和约束晕占据分布。这些被用来生成模拟目录,这有助于解释我们的类星体LRG互相关测量。互相关可用斜率为1.8 \pm 0.1和r_0=6 \pm 0.5 h^{-1} Mpc的幂律很好地描述,与观测到的星系关联函数一致。我们没有发现在0.1 Mpc尺度上存在“过度”聚集的证据,并证明这与Serber等人(2006)和Strand等人(2007)的结果一致,当时人们解释了他们测量结果的几个微妙之处。结合类星体-LRG互相关和LRG自相关,我们确定了类星体的大尺度偏差b_QSO = 1.09 \pm 0.15,其红移中值为0.43,没有观测到红移或光度演化。这相当于平均晕质量<M>约为10^{12} h^{-1} M_sun,爱丁顿比为0.01 ~ 1,寿命小于10^{7}年。使用简单的晕占据模型,这对应于类星体宿主的数密度大于10^{-3} h^{3} Mpc^{-3},恒星质量小于10^{11} h^{-1} M_sun。小规模的集群信号可以解释与我们的模拟LRG目录的帮助下,并依赖于类星体栖息晕的方式。我们发现,我们的小尺度测量与从质量阈值以上的晕中心随机二次采样的类星体位置不一致,需要卫星分数&gt; 25%。

英文摘要:

We measure the clustering of a sample of photometrically selected luminous red galaxies around a low redshift (0.2<z<0.6) sample of quasars selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 5. We make use of a new statistical estimator to obtain precise measurements of the LRG auto-correlations and constrain halo occupation distributions for them. These are used to generate mock catalogs which aid in interpreting our quasar-LRG cross correlation measurements. The cross correlation is well described by a power law with slope 1.8\pm0.1 and r_0=6\pm0.5 h^{-1} Mpc, consistent with observed galaxy correlation functions. We find no evidence for `excess' clustering on 0.1 Mpc scales and demonstrate that this is consistent with the results of Serber et al (2006) and Strand et al (2007), when one accounts for several subtleties in the interpretation of their measurements. Combining the quasar-LRG cross correlation with the LRG auto-correlations, we determine a large-scale quasar bias b_QSO = 1.09\pm0.15 at a median redshift of 0.43, with no observed redshift or luminosity evolution. This corresponds to a mean halo mass <M>~ 10^{12} h^{-1} M_sun, Eddington ratios from 0.01 to 1 and lifetimes less than 10^{7} yr. Using simple models of halo occupation, these correspond to a number density of quasar hosts greater than 10^{-3} h^{3} Mpc^{-3} and stellar masses less than 10^{11} h^{-1} M_sun. The small-scale clustering signal can be interpreted with the aid of our mock LRG catalogs, and depends on the manner in which quasars inhabit halos. We find that our small scale measurements are inconsistent with quasar positions being randomly subsampled from halo centers above a mass threshold, requiring a satellite fraction > 25 per cent.
