红移空间畸变对生长因子测定的系统效应

Systematic Effects on Determination of the Growth Factor from Redshift-space Distortions

Teppei Okumura, Y. P. Jing

摘要:

密度扰动的线性增长因子被认为是未来红移测量的一个强有力的观测值,可以用来探测暗能量的物理性质,并区分不同的引力理论。我们调查系统的影响,从测量的红移空间扭曲的生长因子f的测定。使用N体模拟,我们确定暗物质晕在一个广泛的质量范围。我们计算的晕的功率谱和关联函数,然后检查如何以及红移失真参数β =f/b可以重建晕质量的函数。我们发现,β测量一个固定的晕质量一般是一个函数的规模,即使在大尺度上,与共同的期望,β接近常数描述的凯泽公式在这样的规模。尺度依赖性取决于晕质量,越小的晕越强。它也不能很容易地解释与著名的分布函数的晕特有的速度。我们证明了小晕的偏置具有更大的非线性和随机性,因此线性偏置假设变得更糟。只有在b>1.5的大质量晕中,β才接近r或pi/k> 30 Mpc/h的线性理论预测。SDSS-III的BOSS巡天所针对的发光红星系(LRG)往往位于非常巨大的晕中。我们的结果表明,如果用LRG测量红移畸变,可以无偏地测量f。另一方面,如果考虑使用发射线星系,这是BigBOSS调查的目标,并居住在一个广泛的质量范围的晕,β的尺度依赖性必须仔细考虑;否则,可能会给暗能量或修改的引力理论不正确的约束。我们还发现,在傅里叶空间中重建的β比在位形空间中的表现更好。

英文摘要:

The linear growth factor of density perturbations is believed to be a powerful observable of future redshift surveys to probe physical properties of dark energy and to distinguish among gravity theories. We investigate systematic effects on determination of the growth factor f from a measurement of redshift-space distortions. Using N-body simulations we identify dark matter halos over a broad mass range. We compute the power spectra and correlation functions for the halos and then examine how well the redshift distortion parameter beta=f/b can be reconstructed as a function of halo mass. We find that beta measured for a fixed halo mass is generally a function of scale even on large scales, in contrast with the common expectation that beta approaches a constant described by Kaiser's formula on such scales. The scale dependence depends on the halo mass, being stronger for smaller halos. It also cannot be easily explained with the well-known distribution function of the halo peculiar velocities. We demonstrate that the biasing for smaller halos has larger nonlinearity and stochasticity, thus the linear bias assumption becomes worse for smaller halos. Only for massive halos with b>1.5, beta approaches the linear theory prediction on scales of r or pi/k>30Mpc/h. Luminous red galaxies (LRG), targeted by the SDSS-III's BOSS survey, tend to reside in very massive halos. Our results indicate that if the LRG is used for the measurement of redshift distortions, f can be measured unbiasedly. On the other hand, if one considers to use emission line galaxies, which are targeted by the BigBOSS survey and inhabited in halos of a broad mass range, the scale dependence of beta must be taken into account carefully; otherwise one might give incorrect constraints on dark energy or modified gravity theories. We also find that beta reconstructed in Fourier space behaves better than that in configuration space.
