光度银河巡天中角关联函数及其全协方差的模拟

Modeling the angular correlation function and its full covariance in Photometric Galaxy Surveys

Martin Crocce, Anna Cabre, Enrique Gaztañaga

摘要:

在不久的将来,宇宙学将看到大面积测光星系巡天的出现,如暗能量巡天(DES),其范围达到高红移(z ~ 1 - 2),但径向距离分辨率很差。在这样的情况下,将数据分成红移仓,并使用角关联函数$w(θ)$,或$C_{\ell}$功率谱,将成为提取宇宙学信息或通过重子声学振荡(BAO)探测器研究暗能量性质的标准方法。在这项工作中,我们提出了一个详细的模型$w(θ)$在大尺度上的红移和bin宽度的函数,包括所有相关的影响,即非线性引力集群,偏见,红移空间扭曲和photo-z的不确定性。我们还提出了一个模型的完整的协方差矩阵特征的角度相关测量,考虑到相同的效果为$w(θ)$,也有可能的散粒噪声分量和部分天空覆盖。提供了一个大容量的N体模拟从MICE合作,我们建立了几个合奏的模拟红移箱与天空的覆盖范围和深度典型的即将到来的光度调查。角相关模型和协方差矩阵模型在所有配置下都与模拟测量非常吻合。因此,在即将到来的光度测量(如DES)中,在BAO尺度上对$w(θ)$进行全形状分析的前景是非常令人鼓舞的。

英文摘要:

Near future cosmology will see the advent of wide area photometric galaxy surveys, like the Dark Energy Survey (DES), that extent to high redshifts (z ~ 1 - 2) but with poor radial distance resolution. In such cases splitting the data into redshift bins and using the angular correlation function $w(θ)$, or the $C_{\ell}$ power spectrum, will become the standard approach to extract cosmological information or to study the nature of dark energy through the Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) probe. In this work we present a detailed model for $w(θ)$ at large scales as a function of redshift and bin width, including all relevant effects, namely nonlinear gravitational clustering, bias, redshift space distortions and photo-z uncertainties. We also present a model for the full covariance matrix characterizing the angular correlation measurements, that takes into account the same effects as for $w(θ)$ and also the possibility of a shot-noise component and partial sky coverage. Provided with a large volume N-body simulation from the MICE collaboration we built several ensembles of mock redshift bins with a sky coverage and depth typical of forthcoming photometric surveys. The model for the angular correlation and the one for the covariance matrix agree remarkably well with the mock measurements in all configurations. The prospects for a full shape analysis of $w(θ)$ at BAO scales in forthcoming photometric surveys such as DES are thus very encouraging.
