摘要:

为了支持新的斯隆III调查,这将测量重子振荡尺度使用发光的红色星系(LRGs),我们已经运行了最大的N体模拟到目前为止使用$4120^3 = 69.9$十亿粒子,并覆盖体积$(6.592 h^{-1} {\rm Gpc})^3$。这是千禧跑的2000多倍,从一个角落到另一个角落一直延伸到可见宇宙的地平线。LRG星系是通过寻找最大质量的引力束缚的冷暗物质下晕来选择的,不受潮汐破坏的影响,这种技术正确地再现了斯隆巡天中LRG星系的三维拓扑结构。我们测量了协方差函数,功率谱,和LRG星系分布的三维拓扑结构,并沿过去的光锥进行了32次模拟巡天,以模拟Sloan III巡天。我们的大N体模拟被用来精确测量非线性系统效应,如引力演化,红移空间畸变,过去的光锥空间梯度和星系偏置,并校准重子振荡尺度和属拓扑。例如,我们预测,从我们的模拟调查,重子声学振荡的峰值规模可以测量宇宙方差占主导地位的不确定性约为5%时,SDSS-III样品被分为三个等体积壳,或约2.6%时,更厚的壳与$0.4<z<0.6$使用。我们发现,一个需要校正的规模为系统的影响高达5.2%,用它来约束线性理论。在15 $h^{-1}$ Mpc尺度下,属曲线振幅的不确定度预计约为1%。我们正在公开模拟和模拟调查。

英文摘要:

In support of the new Sloan III survey, which will measure the baryon oscillation scale using the luminous red galaxies (LRGs), we have run the largest N-body simulation to date using $4120^3 = 69.9$ billion particles, and covering a volume of $(6.592 h^{-1} {\rm Gpc})^3$. This is over 2000 times the volume of the Millennium Run, and corner-to-corner stretches all the way to the horizon of the visible universe. LRG galaxies are selected by finding the most massive gravitationally bound, cold dark matter subhalos, not subject to tidal disruption, a technique that correctly reproduces the 3D topology of the LRG galaxies in the Sloan Survey.We have measured the covariance function, power spectrum, and the 3D topology of the LRG galaxy distribution in our simulation and made 32 mock surveys along the past lightcone to simulate the Sloan III survey. Our large N-body simulation is used to accurately measure the non-linear systematic effects such as gravitational evolution, redshift space distortion, past light cone space gradient, and galaxy biasing, and to calibrate the baryon oscillation scale and the genus topology. For example, we predict from our mock surveys that the baryon acoustic oscillation peak scale can be measured with the cosmic variance-dominated uncertainty of about 5% when the SDSS-III sample is divided into three equal volume shells, or about 2.6% when a thicker shell with $0.4<z<0.6$ is used. We find that one needs to correct the scale for the systematic effects amounting up to 5.2% to use it to constrain the linear theories. And the uncertainty in the amplitude of the genus curve is expected to be about 1% at 15 $h^{-1}$Mpc scale. We are making the simulation and mock surveys publicly available.
