用大量N体模拟确定暗物质双谱

A determination of dark matter bispectrum with a large set of N-body simulations

Hong Guo, Y. P. Jing

摘要:

利用数值N体模拟方法研究了暗物质约化双谱的大尺度行为,并将结果与二阶微扰理论和不同晕质量函数的晕模型进行了比较.我们发现,二阶微扰理论(PT 2)同意与模拟相当不错的大尺度上的k<0.05 h/Mpc,但它显示出偏差的签名,随着规模下降。即使在我们的模拟中可以很好地测量双谱的最大尺度上,PT 2和模拟之间的不一致也出现在共线三角形形状上。对于晕模型,我们发现它只能作为一种定性的方法来帮助研究大尺度和相对小尺度上Q的行为。二阶微扰理论的失败也将影响晕模型的精确确定,因为它们通过晕模型中的3-晕项连接。2-halo项在大尺度上的贡献过大,这是halo模型在大尺度上高估双谱的主要原因。由于这两个模型都不能提供一个令人满意的描述约0.1h/Mpc的尺度上的双谱的精确宇宙学的要求,我们发布的约化的双谱的暗物质在一个大的尺度范围内为未来的双谱的分析建模。

英文摘要:

We use a set of numerical N-body simulations to study the large-scale behavior of the reduced bispectrum of dark matter and compare the results with the second-order perturbation theory and the halo models for different halo mass functions. We find that the second-order perturbation theory (PT2) agrees with the simulations fairly well on large scales of k<0.05 h/Mpc, but it shows a signature of deviation as the scale goes down. Even on the largest scale where the bispectrum can be measured reasonably well in our simulations, the inconsistency between PT2 and the simulations appears for the colinear triangle shapes. For the halo model, we find that it can only serve as a qualitative method to help study the behavior of Q on large scales and also on relatively small scales. The failure of second-order perturbation theory will also affect the precise determination of the halo models, since they are connected through the 3-halo term in the halo model. The 2-halo term has too much contribution on the large scales, which is the main reason for the halo model to overpredict the bispectrum on the large scales. Since neither of the models can provide a satisfying description for the bispectrum on scales of about 0.1h/Mpc for the requirement of precision cosmology, we release the reduced bispectrum of dark matter on a large range of scales for future analytical modeling of the bispectrum.
