Large Scale Structure(Galaxy Correlations)

“majority of its surface area is only about 10 feet above sea level”
Overview
• Redshift Surveys• Theoretical expectations• Statistical measurements of LSS• Observations of galaxy clustering• Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO)• ISW effect
I will borrow heavily from two recent reviews:1.Percival et al. 2006, astro-ph/06015382.Nichol et al. 2007 (see my webpage)

Measuring ξ(r) or P(k)
Data
Random
r
Simple estimator:ξ(r) = DD(r)/RR(r) - 1
Advanced estimator:ξ(r) = (DD-2DR+RR)/RR
The latter does a better job with edge effects, which cause a bias to the mean density of points
Usually 10x as many random points over SAME area / volume
Same techniques for P(k) - take Fourier transform of density field relative to a random catalog over same volume. Several techniques for this - see Tegmark et al.
and Pope et al. Also “weighted” and mark correlations
Measuring ξ(r) IIEssential the random catalog looks like the real data!

ξ(r) for LRGs
Errors on ξ(r)
On small scales, the errors are Poisson
On large scales, errors correlated and typically larger than Poisson
• Use mocks catalogs• PROS: True measure of cosmic variance• CONS: Hard to include all observational
effects and model clustering• Use jack-knifes (JK)
• PROS: Uses the data directly• CONS: Noisy and unstable matrices
Hardest part of estimating these statistics

Real Data • Split data into N equal subregions• Remove each subregion in turn and compute ξ(r )• Measure variance betweenregions as function of scale

Errors from mocks(correlated)
Hindrances
There are two “hindrances” to the full interpretation of the P(k) or ξ(r)
• Redshift distortions: Helped using modeling & simulations
• Galaxy biasing: Helped through higher order correlations
Redshift distortions
Therefore we usually quote ξ(s) as the “redshift-space” correlation function, and ξ(r) as the “real-space”correlation function.
We can compute the 2D correlation function ξ(π,rp), then
“Fingers of God”
Infall around clusters
Expected
We only measure redshifts not distances
w(rp ) = 2 ξ(rp0
π max∫ ,π )dπ
Biasing
Maximal ignorance
However, we know it depends on color & L
Is there also a scale dependence?
We see galaxies not dark matter

P(k)gal = b2P(k)dm

Biasing II
All galaxies reside in a DM halo
Elegant model to decompose intra-halophysics (biasing) from inter-halo physics (DM clustering)
Halo model
2-haloterm
1-haloterm
P(k) = P1−halo + P2−halo
Biasing III
Higher order correlations
Biasing could be helped through use of higher order correlations e.g. 3-point correlation function (bispectrum)

Discrepancy!What Discrepancy?
• 2.4σ difference between SN & BAO. The BAO want more acceleration at z<0.3 than predicted by z>0.3 SNe (revisit with SDSS SNe)
• ~1σ possible from details of BAO damping -more complex then we thought
• Assumption of flatness and constant wneeds to be revisited
Integrated Sachs-Wolfe EffectDark Energy effects the rate of growth of structure in Universe
• Poisson equation with dark energy:
• In a flat, matter-dominated universe (CMB tells us this), then density fluctuations grow as:
• Therefore, curvature or DE gives a change in the gravitational potential
