摘要:

我们研究了引力动力学的几种近似方法的精度晕功率谱多极和估计的协方差矩阵。我们传播的协方差的差异到相关的结构,Alcock-Paczynski扭曲和偏置的增长率的参数约束。我们认为七种方法分为三大类:算法,解决晕密度演化确定性使用拉格朗日轨迹(ICE-COLA,匹诺曹和PeakPatch),方法依赖于晕分配方案到暗物质overdensities校准与目标N-体运行(卤素,补丁)和两个标准假设的全密度PDF(高斯和对数正态)。我们基准测试他们的性能对一组三百N体模拟,运行类似的近似模拟与匹配的初始条件,为每种方法。我们发现,大多数方法重现内$5\%$,而残差的四极杆有时更大,规模依赖。多极子的方差通常在$10\%$内再现。总体而言,我们发现,建立从近似模拟的协方差产生误差的模型参数内的$10\%$的N体为基础的协方差。

英文摘要:

We study the accuracy of several approximate methods for gravitational dynamics in terms of halo power spectrum multipoles and their estimated covariance matrix. We propagate the differences in covariances into parameter constrains related to growth rate of structure, Alcock-Paczynski distortions and biasing. We consider seven methods in three broad categories: algorithms that solve for halo density evolution deterministically using Lagrangian trajectories (ICE-COLA, Pinocchio and PeakPatch), methods that rely on halo assignment schemes onto dark-matter overdensities calibrated with a target N-body run (Halogen, Patchy) and two standard assumptions about the full density PDF (Gaussian and Lognormal). We benchmark their performance against a set of three hundred N-body simulations, running similar sets of approximate simulations with matched initial conditions, for each method. We find that most methods reproduce the monopole to within $5\%$, while residuals for the quadrupole are sometimes larger and scale dependent. The variance of the multipoles is typically reproduced within $10\%$. Overall, we find that covariances built from approximate simulations yield errors on model parameters within $10\%$ of those from the N-body based covariance.
