使用角度对上加权来改进3D聚类测量

Using angular pair upweighting to improve 3D clustering measurements

Will J. Percival, Davide Bianchi

摘要:

三维星系团测量提供了丰富的宇宙学信息。然而,获得星系光谱是昂贵的,而且巡天通常只测量目标星系群的子样本的红移。只要光谱数据是有代表性的,我们认为,角对加权应在这些情况下使用,以提高3D聚类测量。我们提出了一个玩具模型,数学上显示如何这样的加权可以提高测量,并提供了一个实际的例子,其应用程序使用模拟创建的重子振荡光谱调查(BOSS)。我们对模拟的分析表明,如果角度聚类测量在光谱覆盖面积的两倍上可用,则加权使BAO尺度上的相关关联函数的方差降低$\sim$ 10-20%。

英文摘要:

Three dimensional galaxy clustering measurements provide a wealth of cosmological information. However, obtaining spectra of galaxies is expensive, and surveys often only measure redshifts for a subsample of a target galaxy population. Provided that the spectroscopic data is representative, we argue that angular pair upweighting should be used in these situations to improve the 3D clustering measurements. We present a toy model showing mathematically how such a weighting can improve measurements, and provide a practical example of its application using mocks created for the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). Our analysis of mocks suggests that, if an angular clustering measurement is available over twice the area covered spectroscopically, weighting gives a $\sim$10-20% reduction of the variance of the monopole correlation function on the BAO scale.
