宇宙网和晕子结构对功率谱的重要性

The importance of the cosmic web and halo substructure for power spectra

摘要:

在这项工作中,我们研究的相关性的宇宙网络和子结构的物质和透镜功率谱测量晕模拟目录提取的N体模拟。由于N体模拟的计算成本很高,因此通常使用更快的方法将暗物质场近似为一组晕。在这种近似下,我们取代质量浓度N体模拟的球对称Navarro-Frenk-White晕密度分布。我们也认为完整的质量场是两个不同场的总和:暗物质晕($M>9\times 10^{12}~M_{\odot}$ /h)和不包括在晕中的粒子。模拟晕很好地再现了物质功率谱,但低估了大尺度和小尺度上的透镜功率谱。对于在$z_{\rm s}=1$的源,相对于模拟的晕,在$\ell\approx 10^4$的透镜功率谱被低估高达40%。模拟星表与晕外的暗物质分布相结合,可以减轻大尺度效应。此外,为了评估子结构的贡献,我们在N体模拟中涂抹了晕内子结构,同时保持晕密度分布不变。对于物质功率谱,这种平滑的效果仅为5%的量级,但对于透镜子结构要重要得多:对于$\ell\approx 10^4$,内部结构贡献了总光谱的30%。这些发现对模拟星表的创建有重要意义,表明目前用于星系调查的一些近似方法将不足以用于未来的弱透镜调查。

英文摘要:

In this work we study the relevance of the cosmic web and substructures on the matter and lensing power spectra measured from halo mock catalogues extracted from the N-body simulations. Since N-body simulations are computationally expensive, it is common to use faster methods that approximate the dark matter field as a set of halos. In this approximation, we replace mass concentrations in N-body simulations by a spherically symmetric Navarro-Frenk-White halo density profile. We also consider the full mass field as the sum of two distinct fields: dark matter halos ($M>9\times 10^{12}~M_{\odot}$/h) and particles not included into halos. Mock halos reproduce well the matter power spectrum, but underestimate the lensing power spectrum on large and small scales. For sources at $z_{\rm s}=1$ the lensing power spectrum is underestimated by up to 40% at $\ell\approx 10^4$ with respect to the simulated halos. The large scale effect can be alleviated by combining the mock catalogue with the dark matter distribution outside the halos. In addition, to evaluate the contribution of substructures we have smeared out the intra-halo substructures in a N-body simulation while keeping the halo density profiles unchanged. For the matter power spectrum the effect of this smoothing is only of the order of 5%, but for lensing substructures are much more important: for $\ell\approx 10^4$ the internal structures contribute 30% of the total spectrum. These findings have important implications in the way mock catalogues have to be created, suggesting that some approximate methods currently used for galaxy surveys will be inadequate for future weak lensing surveys.
