Baryon Acoustic Oscillation detections from the clustering of massive halos and different density region tracers in TianNu simulation

英文摘要:

The Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) refer to the ripples of material density in the Universe. As the most direct density tracers in the universe, galaxies have been commonly used in studies of BAO peak detection. The spatial number density of galaxies, to a certain extent, reflects the distribution of the material density of our Universe. Using galaxies as matter tracers, we can construct more overlapping empty spheres (DT voids) than the matter tracers, via Delaunay Triangulation technique. We show that their radii excellently reflect the galaxy number density round them, and they can serve as reliable different density region tracers. Using the data from an unprecedented large-scale $N$-body simulation "TianNu", we conduct some fundamental statistical studies and clustering analysis of the DT voids. We discuss in detail the representative features of two-point correlation functions of different DT void populations. We show that the peak, the position of which corresponds to the average radius of data samples, is the most representative feature of the two-point correlation function of the DT voids. In addition, we also construct another voids, the disjoint voids, and investigate their some statistical properties and clustering properties. And we find that the occupied space of all disjoint voids accounts for about $45\%$ of the volume of the simulation box, regardless of the number density of mock galaxies. We also investigate the BAO detections based on different tracers, i.e. mock galaxies, low-density region tracers, and high-density region tracers respectively. Our results show that BAO intensities detected by low/high-density region tracers are enhanced significantly compared to the BAO detection by mock galaxies, for the mock galaxy catalogue with the number density of $7.52\times10^{-5}$ $h^3$ Mpc$^{-3}$.
