发光红星系团的晕占据分布模拟

Halo Occupation Distribution Modeling of Clustering of Luminous Red Galaxies

摘要:

我们执行晕占据分布(HOD)模型来解释小尺度和中等尺度的35,000个明亮的早型星系的集群和它们的互相关与正常的L* 星系的参考成像样本在斯隆数字巡天。模拟结果表明,这些发光的红色星系(LRG)中的大多数是中心星系,它们居住在典型质量M ~ 10^13到10^14 Msun/h的几倍的大质量晕中,而其中的一小部分必须是晕中的卫星星系,以便产生在较小尺度上表现出的强自相关。中心LRGs的平均亮度Lc随着宿主晕质量的增加而增加,其粗略的标度关系为Lc \propto M ^0. 5。平均一个卫星LRG以上的亮度阈值的主机所需的晕质量被发现是约10倍以上的主机中央LRG相同的阈值。我们发现,在大质量晕中,L* 星系的分布与暗物质的分布大致相同,它们的平均占有数与晕质量成M ^[1.5]的比例。HOD模拟结果还可以直观地理解LRGs与L_* 星系之间的互相关对光度的尺度依赖性。对LRG HOD的约束为大质量星系的形成和演化模型提供了检验,也为宇宙学参数的研究提供了有用的信息。在其中一个附录中,我们提供了LRG HOD参数与宇宙学的依赖关系,从LRG的两点自关联函数模型中推断。

英文摘要:

We perform Halo Occupation Distribution (HOD) modeling to interpret small-scale and intermediate-scale clustering of 35,000 luminous early-type galaxies and their cross-correlation with a reference imaging sample of normal L* galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The modeling results show that most of these luminous red galaxies (LRGs) are central galaxies residing in massive halos of typical mass M ~ a few times 10^13 to 10^14 Msun/h, while a few percent of them have to be satellites within halos in order to produce the strong auto-correlations exhibited on smaller scales. The mean luminosity Lc of central LRGs increases with the host halo mass, with a rough scaling relation of Lc \propto M^0.5. The halo mass required to host on average one satellite LRG above a luminosity threshold is found to be about 10 times higher than that required to host a central LRG above the same threshold. We find that in massive halos the distribution of L* galaxies roughly follows that of the dark matter and their mean occupation number scales with halo mass as M^1.5. The HOD modeling results also allows for an intuitive understanding of the scale-dependent luminosity dependence of the cross-correlation between LRGs and L_* galaxies. Constraints on the LRG HOD provide tests to models of formation and evolution of massive galaxies, and they are also useful for cosmological parameter investigations. In one of the appendices, we provide LRG HOD parameters with dependence on cosmology inferred from modeling the two-point auto-correlation functions of LRGs.
