本文通过将 COSMOS/UltraVISTA 测光匹配到 UniverseMachine 星系构建 DES-Y3 源星系模拟样本,拟合修正 HOD 并训练仿真器,为小尺度“透镜等于源”宇宙学分析提供星系-晕关联先验。

摘要:

对于二阶弱引力透镜与星系聚类统计量的联合分析,即所谓的 $3{\times}2$ 分析,最优星系样本的选择与刻画是一个主要研究领域。一个有前景的选择是使用同一星系样本同时作为透镜和源,这可以减少描述与星系样本相关不确定性的系统学参数空间。这种“透镜等于源”的分析显著改善了 photo-z 系统学的自校准,从而带来更强的宇宙学约束。为了在小尺度上实现透镜等于源分析,我们研究了 DES-Y3 源星系的晕-星系关联。我们开发了一种技术,通过将 COSMOS/UltraVISTA 测光匹配到 {\sc{UniverseMachine}} 星系上来构建模拟源星系群体。这些模拟预测的源晕占据分布(HOD)表现出显著的红移演化、非平凡的中央星系不完备性以及星系组装偏差。我们从 {\sc{UniverseMachine}} 后验中抽取模拟源星系,并加入实测 DES 测光和星系形状的不确定性,生成了多个实现。我们将一个修改后的 HOD 形式拟合到这些实现上,为宇宙学分析提供星系-晕关联的先验。此外,我们训练了一个仿真器,在红移 $z = 0.1 - 1.3$ 范围内以约 $2\\%$ 的精度预测该 HOD,并建模该 HOD 对 1) 星系大小和测光的观测不确定性,以及 2) {\sc{UniverseMachine}} 预测不确定性的依赖。

英文摘要:

For the joint analysis of second-order weak lensing and galaxy clustering statistics, so-called $3{\times}2$ analyses, the selection and characterization of optimal galaxy samples is a major area of research. One promising choice is to use the same galaxy sample as lenses and sources, which reduces the systematics parameter space that describes uncertainties related to galaxy samples. Such a ``lens-equal-source'' analysis significantly improves self-calibration of photo-z systematics leading to improved cosmological constraints. With the aim to enable a lens-equal-source analysis on small scales we investigate the halo-galaxy connection of DES-Y3 source galaxies. We develop a technique to construct mock source galaxy populations by matching COSMOS/UltraVISTA photometry onto {\sc{UniverseMachine}} galaxies. These mocks predict a source halo occupation distribution (HOD) that exhibits significant redshift evolution, non-trivial central incompleteness and galaxy assembly bias. We produce multiple realizations of mock source galaxies drawn from the {\sc{UniverseMachine}} posterior with added uncertainties in measured DES photometry and galaxy shapes. We fit a modified HOD formalism to these realizations to produce priors on the galaxy-halo connection for cosmological analyses. We additionally train an emulator that predicts this HOD to $\sim2\%$ accuracy from redshift $z = 0.1 - 1.3$ that models the dependence of this HOD on 1) observational uncertainties in galaxy size and photometry, and 2) uncertainties in the {\sc{UniverseMachine}} predictions.
