摘要:

我们利用在COSMOS区体积中重建的过密度场来研究zCOSMOS星系的非线性偏置。利用当前的8500个精确的zCOSMOS红移样本,在8 - 12 Mpc/h的尺度R下,I(AB)<22.5到z~1,重建了星系的过密度场。通过比较星系密度衬度δ g的概率分布函数(PDF)和质量密度衬度δ的概率分布函数的对数正态近似,我们得到了星系和物质过密度场之间的平均偏置函数b(δ,z,R)及其在z~1范围内的二阶矩b(hat)和b(tilde).在红移区间0.4<z<1上,条件平均函数<delta_g| δ> = b(δ,z,R)δ具有以下特征形状。该函数在密度最低的区域消失,然后以非线性的方式向平均密度急剧上升。<delta_g| δ>在过密区几乎是线性的物质示踪剂,直到最高过密区又是非线性的,|delta> vs. delta小于1。<delta_g| δ>函数在红移区间0.4<z<1上仅略微演化。对于M_B<-20-z的星系样本,线性偏置参数从z=0.4时的b(hat)= 1.24 +/-0.11增加到z=1时的b(hat)=1.64+/-0.15。b(hat)对8至12 Mpc/h的平滑尺度没有表现出任何依赖性,但随着亮度的增加而增加。测得的非线性参数b(波浪线)/b(帽子)是百分之几的数量级(但它可以与0一致),它不随红移,平滑尺度或光度的变化。通过将星系的线性偏差与晕偏差相匹配,我们推断M_B<-20-z星系存在于暗物质晕中,其特征质量约为3-6 x 10^12 Msol,这取决于晕偏差的拟合。

英文摘要:

We use the overdensity field reconstructed in the volume of the COSMOS area to study the nonlinear biasing of the zCOSMOS galaxies. The galaxy overdensity field is reconstructed using the current sample of ~8500 accurate zCOSMOS redshifts at I(AB)<22.5 out to z~1 on scales R from 8 to 12 Mpc/h. By comparing the probability distribution function (PDF) of galaxy density contrast delta_g to the lognormal approximation of the PDF of the mass density contrast delta, we obtain the mean biasing function b(delta,z,R) between the galaxy and matter overdensity field and its second moments b(hat) and b(tilde) up to z~1. Over the redshift interval 0.4<z<1 the conditional mean function <delta_g|delta> = b(delta,z,R) delta is of the following characteristic shape. The function vanishes in the most underdense regions and then sharply rises in a nonlinear way towards the mean densities. <delta_g|delta> is almost a linear tracer of the matter in the overdense regions, up to the most overdense regions in which it is nonlinear again and the local effective slope of <delta_g|delta> vs. delta is smaller than unity. The <delta_g|delta> function is evolving only slightly over the redshift interval 0.4<z<1. The linear biasing parameter increases from b(hat)=1.24+/-0.11 at z=0.4 to b(hat)=1.64+/-0.15 at z=1 for the M_B<-20-z sample of galaxies. b(hat) does not show any dependence on the smoothing scale from 8 to 12 Mpc/h, but increases with luminosity. The measured nonlinearity parameter b(tilde)/b(hat) is of the order of a few percent (but it can be consistent with 0) and it does not change with redshift, the smoothing scale or the luminosity. By matching the linear bias of galaxies to the halo bias, we infer that the M_B<-20-z galaxies reside in dark matter haloes with a characteristic mass of about 3-6 x 10^12 Msol, depending on the halo bias fit.
