  4. Cosmological Model initial conditions energy & matter contents Galaxy Formation Physics gas dynamics, cooling star formation, feedback m 8ns  Dark Halo Population n(M) (r|M) v(r|M) Halo Occupation Distribution P(N|M) spatial bias within halos velocity bias within halos Galaxy Clustering Galaxy-Mass Correlations Weinberg 2002

  5. Halo Occupation Distribution (HOD) • P(N|M) Probability distribution of finding N galaxies in a halo of virial mass M mean occupation <N(M)>+ higher moments • Spatial bias within halos Difference in the distribution profiles of dark matter and galaxies within halos • Velocity bias within halos Difference in the velocities of dark matter and galaxies within halos e.g., Jing & Borner 1998;Seljak 2000; Scoccimarro et al. 2001; Berlind & Weinberg 2002; Yang, Mo, & van den Bosch 2003; …

  6. Galaxies from SDSS

  7. P(N|M) from galaxy formation model For galaxies above a certain threshold in luminosity/baryon mass Mean: Low mass cutoff Plateau High mass power law Scatter: Sub-Poisson (low mass) Poisson (high mass) Berlind et al. 2003

  8. P(N|M) from galaxy formation model It is useful to separate central and satellite galaxies Central galaxies: Step-like function Satellite galaxies Mean following a powerlaw-like function Scatter following Poisson distribution Kravtsov et al. 2004, Zheng et al. 2005

  9. Probing Galaxy Formation: --- Galaxy Bias (HOD) from Galaxy Clustering Data HOD modeling of two-point correlation functions • Departure from a power law • Luminosity dependence • Color dependence • Evolution

  10. Two-point correlation function of galaxies Excess probability w.r.t. random distribution of finding galaxy pairs at a given separation 1-halo term Galaxies of each pair from the same halo 2-halo term Galaxies of each pair from different halos

  11. Two-point correlation function:Departures from a power law SDSS measurements Zehavi et al. 2004

  12. 2-halo term 1-halo term Dark matter correlation function Divided by the best-fit power law Two-point correlation function:Departures from a power law The inflection around 2 Mpc/h can be naturally explained within the framework of the HOD: It marks the transition from a large scale regime dominated by galaxy pairs in separate dark matter halos (2-halo term) to a small scale regime dominated by galaxy pairs in same dark matter halos (1-halo term). Zehavi et al. 2004

  13. Two-point correlation function:Departures from a power law Fit the data by assuming an r-1.8 real space correlation function  r0 ~ 8Mpc/h host halo mass > 1013 Msun/h + galaxy number density  ~100 galaxies in each halo HDF-South Strong clustering of a population of red galaxies at z~3 Daddi et al. 2003

  14. Ouchi et al 2005 Two-point correlation function:Departures from a power law Less surprising models from HOD modeling Signals are dominated by 1-halo term M > Mmin ~ 6×1011Msun/h (not so massive) <N(M)>=1.4(M/Mmin)0.45 Predicted r0 ~ 5Mpc/h HOD modeling of the clustering of z~3 red galaxies Zheng 2004

  16. Luminosity dependence of galaxy clustering Zehavi et al. 2005

  17. Luminosity dependence of galaxy clustering The HOD and its luminosity dependence inferred from fitting SDSS galaxy correlation functions have a general agreement with galaxy formation model predictions Luminosity dependence of the HOD predicted by galaxy formation models Berlind et al. 2003

  18. Luminosity dependence of galaxy clustering Zehavi et al. 2005 Zheng et al. 2005 inferred from observation prediction of theory HOD parameters vs galaxy luminosity

  19. Hogg & Blanton

  20. Color dependence of galaxy clustering Zehavi et al. 2005

  21. Color dependence of galaxy clustering Zehavi et al. 2005 Berlind et al. 2003, Zheng et al. 2005 Inferred from SDSS data Predicted by galaxy formation model

  22. z~1 z~1 Star Formation Merging Merging z~0 z~0 Studying galaxy evolution

  23. Establishing an evolution link between DEEP2 and SDSS galaxies Tentative results: For central galaxies in z~0 M<1012 h-1Msun halos, ~80% of their stars form after z~1 For central galaxies in z~0 M>1012 h-1Msun halos, ~20% of their stars form after z~1 Zheng, Coil & Zehavi 2006

  24. Tegmark et al. 2004 Why useful ? • Consistency check • Better constraints on cosmological parameters (e.g., 8, m) • Tensor fluctuation and evolution of dark energy • Non-Gaussianity Probing Cosmology: --- Constraints from Galaxy Clustering Data

  25. Mass-to-Light ratio of large scale structure At a given cosmology (σ8) Modeling w_p as a function of luminosity How light occupies halos Φ(L|M) (CLF) Populating N-body simulation according to Φ(L|M) Mass-to-light ratio in different environments Comparison with observation Mr<-21.5 Mr<-20 Tinker et al 2005

  26. Mass-to-Light ratio of large scale structure σ8=0.95 σ8=0.9 σ8=0.8 σ8=0.7 σ8=0.6 CNOC data M<-18 M<-20 Tinker et al 2005 Galaxy cluster <M/L>=universal value only for unbiased galaxies (σ8g~ σ8) Comparison with CNOC data indicates (σ8/0.9)(Ωm/0.3)0.6=0.75+/-0.06

  27. Modeling redshift-space distortion For each (m, 8), choose HOD to match wp(rp) Large scale distortions degenerate along axis   8 m0.6, as predicted by linear theory Small scale distortions have different dependence on m, 8, v Tinker et al 2006

  28. Recovering the linear power spectrum Galaxy bias is linear at k < 0.1~0.2 hMpc-1 and becomes scale-dependent at smaller scales. Power spectrum becomes nonlinear at similar scales HOD modeling helps to recover the linear power spectrum for k>0.2hMpc-1 and extend the leverage for constraining cosmology. Yoo et al 2006

  33. Joint constraints on m and 8 from SDSS projected galaxy correlation function and CMB anisotropy measurements. Abazajian et al. 2004

  34. Summary and Conclusion • HOD is a powerful tool to model galaxy clustering. • 2-pt, 3-pt, g-g lensing, voids, pairwise velocity, mock galaxy catalogs … • HOD modeling aids interpretation of galaxy clustering. *HOD leads to informative and physical explanations of galaxy clustering (departures from a power law, luminosity/color dependence). *HOD modeling helps to study galaxy evolution. *It is useful to separate central and satellite galaxies. *HODs inferred from the data have a general agreement with those predicted by galaxy formation models. • HOD modeling enhances the constraining power of • galaxy redshift surveys on cosmology. • *Current applications alreay led to interesting results, improving cosmological constraints • *Galaxy bias and cosmology are not degenerate w.r.t. galaxy clustering. They can be • simultaneously determined from galaxy clustering data (constrain cosmology and theory • of galaxy formation).
