晕占据预言与大尺度星系团一致吗?

Are the halo occupation predictions consistent with large scale galaxy clustering?

Arnau Pujol, Enrique Gaztanaga

摘要:

我们研究如何以及我们可以重建2点集群的星系在线性尺度上,作为质量和光度的函数,使用晕占据分布(HOD)在几个半分析模型(SAM)的星系形成从千年模拟。我们发现,HOD与朋友的朋友组可以重现星系集群比引力约束晕。这表明,朋友的朋友群体更直接地关系到这些地区的集群比超密度的约束粒子。一般来说,我们发现重建的准确度最多只有5%:它低估了明亮星系的偏差。这意味着当我们使用聚类来校准质量时,晕质量高估了50%。我们还发现了一个退化的质量预测的聚类幅度,影响所有的群众。这种效果是由于集群依赖于主机晕子结构,组装偏差的指示。我们发现,一个给定的质量的晕的集群增加的subhaloes的数量,结果只取决于底层的物质分布。由于星系的数量随着自组装膜中的暗晕数量的增加而增加,这导致了HOD重建的低偏差。我们希望这种效应也适用于其他星系形成的模型,包括真实的宇宙,只要星系的数量随着暗晕的数量而增加。我们还发现,对于M = 3-5x10^11 Msun/h的低质量晕,HOD模型对星系偏差的重建是失败的。我们发现,这是因为星系集群更强烈地影响这些低质量的组装偏差。

英文摘要:

We study how well we can reconstruct the 2-point clustering of galaxies on linear scales, as a function of mass and luminosity, using the halo occupation distribution (HOD) in several semi-analytical models (SAMs) of galaxy formation from the Millennium Simulation. We find that HOD with Friends of Friends groups can reproduce galaxy clustering better than gravitationally bound haloes. This indicates that Friends of Friends groups are more directly related to the clustering of these regions than the bound particles of the overdensities. In general we find that the reconstruction works at best to 5% accuracy: it underestimates the bias for bright galaxies. This translates to an overestimation of 50% in the halo mass when we use clustering to calibrate mass. We also found a degeneracy on the mass prediction from the clustering amplitude that affects all the masses. This effect is due to the clustering dependence on the host halo substructure, an indication of assembly bias. We show that the clustering of haloes of a given mass increases with the number of subhaloes, a result that only depends on the underlying matter distribution. As the number of galaxies increases with the number of subhaloes in SAMs, this results in a low bias for the HOD reconstruction. We expect this effect to apply to other models of galaxy formation, including the real universe, as long as the number of galaxies incresases with the number of subhaloes. We have also found that the reconstructions of galaxy bias from the HOD model fails for low mass haloes with M = 3-5x10^11 Msun/h. We find that this is because galaxy clustering is more strongly affected by assembly bias for these low masses.
