亮红星系晕密度场重建及其在大尺度结构测量中的应用

Luminous Red Galaxy Halo Density Field Reconstruction and Application to Large Scale Structure Measurements

Beth A. Reid, David N. Spergel, Paul Bode

摘要:

星系密度场和底层物质场之间的复杂关系限制了我们从星系红移巡天中提取宇宙学约束的能力。我们的方法是使用晕而不是星系来追踪潜在的质量分布。我们识别上帝之指(FOG),并将每个FOG中的多个星系替换为单个光环对象。这消除了卫星星系的非线性贡献,即单晕项。我们测试我们的方法对一个大的高保真模拟SDSS明亮的红色星系(LRG)目录。我们发现Tegmark等人(2006)的LRG P(k)分析中采用的积极的FOG压缩算法导致在k = 0.1 h/Mpc时对底层物质功率谱的校正约为10%,在k=0.2 h/Mpc时校正约为40%,从而损害了宇宙学约束。相比之下,我们重建的晕密度场的功率谱偏离底层物质的功率谱小于1%,k小于0.1小时/Mpc和小于4%,k小于0.2小时/Mpc。重建的晕密度场还消除了由线性红移空间畸变的FOG拖尾引起的红移空间畸变参数β测量中的偏差。

英文摘要:

The complex relationship between the galaxy density field and the underlying matter field limits our ability to extract cosmological constraints from galaxy redshift surveys. Our approach is to use halos rather than galaxies to trace the underlying mass distribution. We identify Fingers-of-God (FOGs) and replace multiple galaxies in each FOG with a single halo object. This removes the nonlinear contributions of satellite galaxies, the one-halo term. We test our method on a large set of high-fidelity mock SDSS Luminous Red Galaxy (LRG) catalogs. We find that the aggressive FOG compression algorithm adopted in the LRG P(k) analysis of Tegmark et al. (2006) leads to a ~10% correction to the underlying matter power spectrum at k = 0.1 h/Mpc and ~40% correction at k=0.2 h/Mpc, thereby compromising the cosmological constraints. In contrast, the power spectrum of our reconstructed halo density field deviates from the underlying matter power spectrum by less than 1% for k less than 0.1 h/Mpc and less than 4% for k less than 0.2 h/Mpc. The reconstructed halo density field also removes the bias in the measurement of the redshift space distortion parameter beta induced by the FOG smearing of the linear redshift space distortions.
