摘要:

模拟星表是分析星系巡天数据的一个重要工具,既可以精确计算协方差矩阵,也可以优化分析方法和验证数据集。在本文中,我们提出了一组1800个星系模拟星表,旨在匹配暗能量调查第一年的BAO样本(Crocce et al. 2017)的丰度,观测体积,红移分布和不确定性,以及红移相关的聚类。模拟样本基于HALOGEN(Avila等人,2015)晕目录,基于具有指数偏差的$2LPT$密度场。对于它们中的每一个,光锥都是由红移范围$0.45<z<1.4$内的快照叠加而成的。由所谓的光度红移估计引入的不确定性用拟合数据的\textit{double-skewed-Gaussian}曲线来建模。我们还介绍了一个混合HOD-HAM模型与两个自由参数,调整,以实现星系的偏差演变$b(z_{\rm ph})$,匹配的数据在1- $σ$水平的范围内$0.6<z_{\rm ph}<1.0$。我们进一步分析星系模拟星表,并比较他们的聚类数据使用角相关函数$ w(θ)$,共动横向分离聚类$ξ_{μ<0.8}(s_{\perp})$和角功率谱$C_\ell$。

英文摘要:

Mock catalogues are a crucial tool in the analysis of galaxy surveys data, both for the accurate computation of covariance matrices, and for the optimisation of analysis methodology and validation of data sets. In this paper, we present a set of 1800 galaxy mock catalogues designed to match the Dark Energy Survey Year-1 BAO sample (Crocce et al. 2017) in abundance, observational volume, redshift distribution and uncertainty, and redshift dependent clustering. The simulated samples were built upon HALOGEN (Avila et al. 2015) halo catalogues, based on a $2LPT$ density field with an exponential bias. For each of them, a lightcone is constructed by the superposition of snapshots in the redshift range $0.45<z<1.4$. Uncertainties introduced by so-called photometric redshifts estimators were modelled with a \textit{double-skewed-Gaussian} curve fitted to the data. We also introduce a hybrid HOD-HAM model with two free parameters that are adjusted to achieve a galaxy bias evolution $b(z_{\rm ph})$ that matches the data at the 1-$σ$ level in the range $0.6<z_{\rm ph}<1.0$. We further analyse the galaxy mock catalogues and compare their clustering to the data using the angular correlation function $ w(θ)$, the comoving transverse separation clustering $ξ_{μ<0.8}(s_{\perp})$ and the angular power spectrum $C_\ell$.
