质量相关的重子声学振荡信号和晕偏置

Mass-Dependent Baryon Acoustic Oscillation Signal and Halo Bias

Qiao Wang, Hu Zhan

摘要:

利用N体模拟方法刻画了晕两点统计中的重子声学振荡(BAO)特征。我们发现,非线性阻尼的BAO信号是不太严重的晕在我们调查的质量范围比暗物质。阻尼的大小与晕圈质量的关系不大。的关联函数显示的质量依赖下降的晕集群偏差低于约90 Mpc/h,这与BAO槽的规模相一致。对于质量M>10^{14} Msun/h的晕,偏差下降4%,对于质量M>10^{13} Msun/h的晕,偏差下降约2%。相比之下,没有BAO的模拟中的晕偏差在90 Mpc/h左右变化更平稳。在傅立叶空间中,M>10^{14} Msun/h晕的偏差从波数k = 0.012 h/Mpc到0.2 h/Mpc平滑下降11%,而M>10^{13} Msun/h晕的偏差在相同范围内下降不到4%。通过比较在其他方面相同的模拟,一个和其他没有BAO对晕偏差,我们也观察到调制的晕偏差。这些结果表明,在大尺度上的质量依赖的BAO信号和尺度依赖的偏差的精确校准将需要解释在未来的两点统计的星系团或大质量星系的精确测量。

英文摘要:

We characterize the baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) feature in halo two-point statistics using N-body simulations. We find that nonlinear damping of the BAO signal is less severe for halos in the mass range we investigate than for dark matter. The amount of damping depends weakly on the halo mass. The correlation functions show a mass-dependent drop of the halo clustering bias below roughly 90 Mpc/h, which coincides with the scale of the BAO trough. The drop of bias is 4% for halos with mass M>10^{14} Msun/h and reduces to roughly 2% for halos with mass M>10^{13} Msun/h. In contrast, halo biases in simulations without BAO change more smoothly around 90 Mpc/h. In Fourier space, the bias of M>10^{14} Msun/h halos decreases smoothly by 11% from wavenumber k = 0.012 h/Mpc to 0.2 h/Mpc, whereas that of M>10^{13} Msun/h halos decreases by less than 4% over the same range. By comparing the halo biases in pairs of otherwise identical simulations, one with and the other without BAO, we also observe a modulation of the halo bias. These results suggest that precise calibrations of the mass-dependent BAO signal and scale-dependent bias on large scales would be needed for interpreting precise measurements of the two-point statistics of clusters or massive galaxies in the future.
