The heart of COSMOS : correlated evolution of Galaxy , Stars and AGN w/ Large Scale Structure critical to : identify and quantify LSS how well can this be done w/ photo-z ?
redshift slice from CDM sim. Frenk etal
Structures/Cluster identification : • adaptive smoothing avoid a priori assumptions w.r.t. shapes and sizes 2 possibilities : select all types of gal. or just early (red seq.) types (easier) but precludes investigation of environmental effects
setup : select galaxies ==> RA, DEC, Z cube ==> accumlate gal 2) average surface density in slice ==> back 3) noise ( ) from galaxy counts ( gal ), including background steps : gaussian spatial filter at highest res. , cell = 0.01 deg find ra,dec’s cells w/ smoothed density ( gal - back ) w/ snr > 4 smoothed snr (current width - twice current width) > 1 remove the delta ( gal - back ) -- this res. - twice this res. increase the filter width -- go to #2
ID structures as connected RA,DEC,z 3-d volume above cutoff preliminary connected pixels Finding chart for prelim. LSSs recombine manually ‘LSS’s which were sub-divided
Final LSS (1-9 out of 37) gal w/i each LSS
37 structures measure : centroids (RA, DEC, Z) , masses , # galaxies , probability
