摘要:

本文描述了重子港湾COS吸收巡天(CASBaH)计划中对远紫外亮z~1类星体的9条视线范围内星系的巡天。组成数据集的光度学和光谱学来自公共调查(SDSS,DECaLS)和我们对私人设施(Keck,MMT,LBT)的专门努力。本文报道了5902个星系的红移和恒星质量,这些星系在视线的10个同向运动-Mpc(cMpc)范围内,星系的中值z=0.28,M_* ~ 10^(10.1)Msun。该数据集作为CASBaH specDB公开提供,构成了最近和正在进行的几项CASBaH分析的基础。在这里,我们对星系样本进行了聚类分析(自相关),并对CASBaH类星体光谱中发现的OVI吸收系统(互相关)进行了聚类分析,其柱密度N(O^+5)>= 10^(13.5)/cm ^2。对于每一个,我们用幂律关联函数xi(r)=(r/r_0)^(-gamma)描述测量的聚类信号,并发现(r_0,gamma)=(5.48 +/- 0.07 h ^-100 ^-1 Mpc,1.33 +/- 0.04)表示自相关,(6.00 +/- 1 h^-1 Mpc,1.25 +/- 0.18)表示星系-OVI互相关。我们进一步从星系-星系自相关中估计了一个偏差因子b_gg = 1.3 +/- 0.1,表明这些星系是由质量为M_halo ~ 10^(12.1 +/- 0.05)Msun的晕所承载的。最后,我们估计OVI-星系偏差因子b_OVI = 1.0 +/- 0.1,这与OVI吸收体由典型质量为M_halo ~ 10^(11)Msun的暗物质晕承载是一致的。Future适用于即将到来的数据集(例如,CGM^2)将改进这些结果,并评估是否有任何检测到的OVI出现在星系际介质中。

英文摘要:

We describe the survey for galaxies in the fields surrounding 9 sightlines to far-UV bright, z~1 quasars that define the COS Absorption Survey of Baryon Harbors (CASBaH) program. The photometry and spectroscopy that comprise the dataset come from a mixture of public surveys (SDSS, DECaLS) and our dedicated efforts on private facilities (Keck, MMT, LBT). We report the redshifts and stellar masses for 5902 galaxies within ~10 comoving-Mpc (cMpc) of the sightlines with a median of z=0.28 and M_* ~ 10^(10.1) Msun. This dataset, publicly available as the CASBaH specDB, forms the basis of several recent and ongoing CASBaH analyses. Here, we perform a clustering analysis of the galaxy sample with itself (auto-correlation) and against the set of OVI absorption systems (cross-correlation) discovered in the CASBaH quasar spectra with column densities N(O^+5) >= 10^(13.5)/cm^2. For each, we describe the measured clustering signal with a power-law correlation function xi(r) = (r/r_0)^(-gamma) and find that (r_0,gamma) = (5.48 +/- 0.07 h_100^-1 Mpc, 1.33 +/- 0.04) for the auto-correlation and (6.00 +/- 1 h^-1 Mpc, 1.25 +/- 0.18) for galaxy-OVI cross-correlation. We further estimate a bias factor of b_gg = 1.3 +/- 0.1 from the galaxy-galaxy auto-correlation indicating the galaxies are hosted by halos with mass M_halo ~ 10^(12.1 +/- 0.05) Msun. Finally, we estimate an OVI-galaxy bias factor b_OVI = 1.0 +/- 0.1 from the cross-correlation which is consistent with OVI absorbers being hosted by dark matter halos with typical mass M_halo ~ 10^(11) Msun. Future works with upcoming datasets (e.g., CGM^2) will improve upon these results and will assess whether any of the detected OVI arises in the intergalactic medium.
