大尺度速度与原初非高斯性

Large-scale Velocities and Primordial Non-Gaussianity

Fabian Schmidt

摘要:

我们研究了在原始非高斯性存在下密度峰的特殊速度。初始密度场中罕见的高密度峰可以用演化物质分布中的星系和星系团等示踪物来识别。峰值的相对速度的分布,推导出在大规模的限制,使用两种不同的方法的基础上的局部偏置计划。这两种方法一致,并表明,晕仍然流与暗物质本地以及统计,即他们没有获得一个速度偏差。尽管如此,即使是中等程度的(不一定是局部的)非高斯性也会在相对速度分布中引起显著的偏斜度(~ 0.1-0.2),使其成为中等到大尺度上非高斯性的潜在有趣的探测器。我们还研究了红移空间中的两点关联。著名的凯泽公式仍然是一个很好的近似在大尺度上,如果高斯晕偏差被替换为它的(尺度相关的)非高斯推广。然而,这个简单的公式中没有包含其他的项,这些项在较小的尺度上变得相关(k >~ 0.01 h/Mpc)。根据允许的非高斯性水平,这些可能与未来的大型光谱调查有关。

英文摘要:

We study the peculiar velocities of density peaks in the presence of primordial non-Gaussianity. Rare, high density peaks in the initial density field can be identified with tracers such as galaxies and clusters in the evolved matter distribution. The distribution of relative velocities of peaks is derived in the large-scale limit using two different approaches based on a local biasing scheme. Both approaches agree, and show that halos still stream with the dark matter locally as well as statistically, i.e. they do not acquire a velocity bias. Nonetheless, even a moderate degree of (not necessarily local) non-Gaussianity induces a significant skewness (~ 0.1-0.2) in the relative velocity distribution, making it a potentially interesting probe of non-Gaussianity on intermediate to large scales. We also study two-point correlations in redshift-space. The well-known Kaiser formula is still a good approximation on large scales, if the Gaussian halo bias is replaced with its (scale-dependent) non-Gaussian generalization. However, there are additional terms not encompassed by this simple formula which become relevant on smaller scales (k >~ 0.01 h/Mpc). Depending on the allowed level of non-Gaussianity, these could be of relevance for future large spectroscopic surveys.
