Correlation FunctionsDefine the dimensionless density perturbation field: δ(~x) = ρ(~x)−ρ

〈δ〉 =∫

〈δ2〉 =∫

Define n-point probability function : Pn (δ1, δ2, · · ·, δn) dδ1 dδ2 · · · dδn

Gravity induces correlations between δi so that

Pn (δ1, δ2, · · ·, δn) 6=n∏

P (δi)

Correlations are specified via n-point correlation function :

〈δ1δ2 · · · δn〉 =∫

δ1δ2 · · · δnPn (δ1, δ2, · · ·, δn) dδ1 dδ2 · · · dδn

In particular, we will often use the two-point correlation function

ξ(x) = 〈δ1δ2〉 with x = |~x1 − ~x2|

Page 4: The Galaxy−Dark Matter Connection - Yale Astronomy · Outline • Statistical Description of Large Scale Structure • Galaxy Bias & The Galaxy-Dark Matter Connection • The Halo

Galaxy BiasConsider the distribution of matter and galaxies, smoothed on some scale R

δ(~x) =ρ(~x) − ρ

ρδgal(~x) =

ngal(~x) − ngal

ngal

xxxxxxxxx Mass distribution xxxxxxxxx Galaxy distribution

ξ(r) = 〈δ(~x1)δ(~x2)〉 ξgal(r) = 〈δgal(~x1)δgal(~x2)〉

• There is no good reason why galaxies should trace mass .

• Ratio is galaxy bias: b(~x) = δgal(~x)/δ(~x)

• One can distinguish various types of bias:

linear, deterministic: δgal = b δ

non-linear, deterministic: δgal = b(δ) δ

stochastic: δgal 6= 〈δgal|δ〉• Real bias probably non-linear and stochastic

• Bias also depends on smoothing scale R

• Since δgal = δgal(L, M∗, ...) bias also depends on galaxy properties

Handling Bias• Bias is an imprint of galaxy formation , which is poorly understood

• Consequently, little progress constraining cosmology wit h LSS

Q: How can we constrain and quantify galaxy bias in a convenient way?

A: With Halo Model plus Halo Occupation Statistics!

The Halo Model describes CDM distribution in terms of halo building blocks ,under assumption that every CDM particle resides in virialized halo

• On small scales: δ(~x) reflects density distribution of haloes ( NFW profiles )

• On large scales: δ(~x) reflects spatial distribution of haloes ( halo bias )

PARADIGM: All galaxies live in Cold Dark Matter Haloes.

galaxy bias = halo bias + halo occupation statistics

δsc is critical spherical collapse overdensity, σ2(m) is mass variance , and ν = δ2sc/σ2(m)

Page 8: The Galaxy−Dark Matter Connection - Yale Astronomy · Outline • Statistical Description of Large Scale Structure • Galaxy Bias & The Galaxy-Dark Matter Connection • The Halo

The Origin of Halo BiasDark Matter Haloes are a biased tracer of the dark matter mass distribution!

Modulation causes statistical bias of peaks (haloes)

Modulation growth causes dynamical enhancement of bias

Page 9: The Galaxy−Dark Matter Connection - Yale Astronomy · Outline • Statistical Description of Large Scale Structure • Galaxy Bias & The Galaxy-Dark Matter Connection • The Halo

Analytical Description of Halo Bias

Define halo bias as b(m) = δh(m)/δ

ffffff b(m) > 1 if m > m∗ (biased)

ffffff b(m) = 1 if m = m∗ (unbiased)

ffffff b(m) < 1 if m = m∗ (unbiased)

Halo bias has absolute minimim:

ffffff b > 1 − 1δsc

Halo Occupation StatisticsHow many galaxies, on average, per halo?

Halo Occupation Distribution: The HOD P (N |M) specifies the probabilitythat a halo of mass M contains N galaxies.

Of particular importance: first moment 〈N〉M =∞∑

N=0

N P (N |M)

How are galaxies distributed (spatially & kinematically) within halo?

Central Galaxy : located at center of dark matter halo.

Satellite Galaxies: nsat(r) ∝ ρdm(r) ⇐⇒ σsat(r) = σdm(r)

Supported by distribution of sub-haloes in N -body simulations

What are physical properties of galaxies (luminosity, color, morphology)

One needs separate HOD for each sub-class of galaxies...

Introduce Conditional Luminosity Function , Φ(L|M) , which expressesaverage number of galaxies with luminosity L that reside in halo of mass M

Page 11: The Galaxy−Dark Matter Connection - Yale Astronomy · Outline • Statistical Description of Large Scale Structure • Galaxy Bias & The Galaxy-Dark Matter Connection • The Halo

The Conditional Luminosity FunctionThe CLF Φ(L|M) is the direct link between halo mass function n(M) andthe galaxy luminosity function Φ(L):

Φ(L) =∫ ∞0

Φ(L|M) n(M) dM

The CLF contains a lot of important information, such as:

• halo occupation numbers as function of luminosity:

NM(L > L1) =∫ ∞

L1

Φ(L|M) dL

• The average relation between light and mass :

〈L〉(M) =∫ ∞0

Φ(L|M) L dL

• The bias of galaxies as function of luminosity:

ξgg(r|L) = b2(L) ξdm(r)

b(L) = 1Φ(L)

∫ ∞0

Φ(L|M) b(M) n(M) dM

CLF is ideal statistical ‘tool’ to investigate Galaxy-Dark Matter Connection

Luminosity & Correlation Functions

ccccc • 2dFGRS: More luminous galaxies are more strongly clustered.

ccccc • c ΛCDM: More massive haloes are more strongly clustered.

More luminous galaxies reside in more massive haloes

REMINDER: Correlation length r0 defined by ξ(r0) = 1

Page 13: The Galaxy−Dark Matter Connection - Yale Astronomy · Outline • Statistical Description of Large Scale Structure • Galaxy Bias & The Galaxy-Dark Matter Connection • The Halo

The CLF Model• The LFs of clusters are well fit by a Schechter function

• The LF of all field galaxies has a Schechter form

• The halo mass function has a Press-Schechter form

We therefore assume that the CLF also has the Schechter form:

Φ(L|M)dL = Φ∗

L∗

(L

L∗

exp(−L/L∗) dL

Here Φ∗, L∗ and α all depend on M .

• Parameterize Φ∗, L∗ and α. In total our model has 8 free parameters

• Construct Monte-Carlo Markov Chain to sample posterior distribution offree parameters. (Neq = 104, Nstep = 4 × 107, Nchain = 2000)

• Use MCMC to put confidence levels on derived quantities such as〈M/L〉(M) and α(M).

• Use MCMC to explore degeneracies and correlations between variousparameters.

HODs from Galaxy Groups

Halo Occupation Statistics can also be obtained directly from galaxy groups

Potential Problems: interlopers, (in)completeness, mass estimates

We developed new, iterative group finder, using an adaptive fi lter modeledafter halo virial properties Yang, Mo, vdB, Jing 2005, MNRAS, 356, 1293

• Calibrated & Optimized with Mock Galaxy Redshift Surveys

• Low interloper fraction ( <∼ 20%).

• High completeness of members ( >∼ 90%).

• Masses estimated from group luminosities.More accurate than using velocity dispersion of members.

• Can also detect “groups” with single member⊲ Large dynamic range ( 11.5 <∼ log[M ] <∼ 15).

Group finder has been applied to both the 2dFGRS (completed survey) and tothe SDSS (DR2, NYU-VAGC; Blanton et al. 2005)

Galaxy EcologyMany studies have investigated relation between various galaxy properties(morphology / SFR / colour) and environment

(e.g., Dressler 1980; Balogh et al. 2004; Goto et al. 2003; Ho gg et al. 2004)

Environment estimated using galaxy overdensity (projected) to nth nearestneighbour, Σn or using fixed, metric aperture, ΣR.

• Fraction of early types increases with density

• There is a characteristic density (∼ group-scale) below whichenvironment dependence vanishes

• Groups and Clusters reveal radial dependence :late type fraction increases with radius

• No radial dependence in groups with M <∼ 1013.5h−1 M⊙

Danger: Physical meaning of Σn and ΣR depends on environment.

Physically more meaningful to investigate halo mass dependence of galaxyproperties. This requires galaxy group catalogues .

Important: Separate luminosity dependence from halo mass dependence .

Page 19: The Galaxy−Dark Matter Connection - Yale Astronomy · Outline • Statistical Description of Large Scale Structure • Galaxy Bias & The Galaxy-Dark Matter Connection • The Halo

Defining Galaxy Types

Data from NYU-VAGC (Blanton et al. 2005): SSFRs from Kauffma nn et al. (2003) and Brinchmann et al. (2004)

Page 20: The Galaxy−Dark Matter Connection - Yale Astronomy · Outline • Statistical Description of Large Scale Structure • Galaxy Bias & The Galaxy-Dark Matter Connection • The Halo

Halo Mass Dependence

The fractions of early and late type galaxies depend strongly on halo mass.

At fixed halo mass, there is virtually no luminosity dependence .

The mass dependence is smooth: there is no characteristic mass scale

The intermediate type fraction is independent of luminosity and mass.

(Weinmann, vdB, Yang & Mo, 2006)

Comparison with Semi-Analytical ModelComparison of Group Occupation Statistics with Semi-Analytical Model ofCroton et al. 2006 . Includes ‘radio-mode’ AGN feedback.

• SAM matches global statistics of SDSS

• Luminosity function, bimodal color distribution, and over all blue fraction

• But what about statistics as function of halo mass?

Satellites: red fraction too large: ⊲ strangulation too efficient as modelled

Centrals: fblue(L|M) wrong: ⊲ AGN feedback /dust modelling wrong

fblue(L, M) useful to constrain SF truncation mechanism

Conclusions

Galaxy Bias = Halo Bias + Halo Occupation Statistics

Halo Occupation Statistics can be modeled & constrained using:

• Halo Occupation Distribution (HOD) P (N |M)

• Conditional Luminosity Function (CLF) Φ(L|M)

or it can be ‘measured’ directly using galaxy groups

Halo Model and/or Halo Occupation Statistics can:

• Constrain Cosmological Parameters

• Constrain Galaxy Formation

In the near future we will be able to

• Constrain galaxy bias as function of redshift

• Obtain independent constraints from galaxy-galaxy lensin g

Constructing Mock Surveys• Run numerical simulations : ΛCDM concordance cosmology (WMAP1)

Lbox = 100h−1 Mpc and 300h−1 Mpc with 5123 CDM particles each.

• Identify dark matter haloes with ( FOF algorithm.

• Populate haloes with galaxies using CLF.

• Stack boxes to create virtual universe and mimick observations(magnitude limit, completeness, geometry, fiber collision s)

Satellite Kinematics in the 2dFGRS

• Mocks are used to optimize host-satellite selection criteria

• Using an iterative, adaptive selection criterion minimizes interlopers

• Application to 2dFGRS yields 12569 satellites & 8132 hosts

• Independent dynamical evidence to support WMAP1-CLF results

Problems for the WMAP3 Cosmology?

• In WMAP3 cosmology, haloes have lower mass-to-light ratios and areless concentrated.

• WMAP3-CLF underpredicts satellite velocity dispersions by ∼ 30%

• But, Lcen(M) in good agreement with group-data....

• Central galaxies do not reside at rest at center of halo.

vdB et al. 2006, in preparation

Brightest Halo Galaxies

Paradigm: Brightest Galaxy in halo resides at rest at center

In order to test this Central Galaxy Paradigm , we compare the velocity ofcentral galaxy to the average velocity of the satellites. De fine

(vi − vs)2.

If Central Galaxy Paradigm is correct, P (R) follows a Student t-distributionwith Ns − 1 degrees of freedom

IMPORTANT: Applicability of this R-test depends strongly on abilityIMPORTANT: to find those galaxies that belong to same halo.

PROBLEM: Interlopers and incompleteness effects

SOLUTION: Use halo-based group finder and mock galaxy redshift surveys

DATA: Both 2dFGRS (Final Data Release) and SDSS (DR2, NYU-VAGC)

Page 28: The Galaxy−Dark Matter Connection - Yale Astronomy · Outline • Statistical Description of Large Scale Structure • Galaxy Bias & The Galaxy-Dark Matter Connection • The Halo

Evidence against Central Galaxy Paradigm

• We construct ten MGRSs , that only differ in the velocity bias (bvel) ofthe brightest halo galaxy

• The P (R) of 2dFGRS is best reproduced by MGRS with bvel = 0.5

• The null-hypothesis of the Central Galaxy Paradigm is ruled out atstrong confidence: PKS = 1.5 × 10−6

• Best-fit value of bvel = 0.5 suggests that specific kinetic energy ofcentral galaxies is ∼ 25% of that of satellites

vdB et al. 2005, MNRAS, 361, 1203

Page 29: The Galaxy−Dark Matter Connection - Yale Astronomy · Outline • Statistical Description of Large Scale Structure • Galaxy Bias & The Galaxy-Dark Matter Connection • The Halo

ImplicationsNon−Relaxed Galaxy Non−Relaxed Halo

• Brightest halo galaxy either oscillates in relaxed halo, or resides atpotential minimum of non-relaxed halo.

• Strong gravitational lensing (external shear?)

• Distortions in disk galaxies (lopsidedness & bars)

• Satellite kinematics σsat =√

1 + bvel σdm

with bvel = 〈|vcen|2〉/σsat

Peculiar velocities cause ξ(rp, π)to be anisotropic.

Consequently, ξ(s) 6= ξ(r).

In particular, there are two effects:

• Large Scales: Infall (“Kaiser Effect”)

• Small Scales: “Finger-of-God-effect”

Large-Scale Environment DependenceInherent to CLF formalism is assumption that L depends only on M .

But Φ(L) has been shown to depend on large scale environment

Croton et al. 2005

Does this violate the implicit assumptions of the CLF formal ism?

Page 35: The Galaxy−Dark Matter Connection - Yale Astronomy · Outline • Statistical Description of Large Scale Structure • Galaxy Bias & The Galaxy-Dark Matter Connection • The Halo

Large-Scale Environment Dependence2dFGRSCLF

Populate haloes in N -body simulations with galaxies using Φ(L|M)

Compute Φ(L) as function of environment and type as in Croton et al. (2005)

Because n(M) depends on environment , we reproduce observed trend

There is no environment dependence, only halo-mass depende nce

Page 36: The Galaxy−Dark Matter Connection - Yale Astronomy · Outline • Statistical Description of Large Scale Structure • Galaxy Bias & The Galaxy-Dark Matter Connection • The Halo

Theoretical Expectations

From the fact that

δh(m) ≡ n(m|δ)n(m)

− 1 = b(m)δ

we obtain that

n(m|δ) = [1 + b(m)δ] n(m)

Since the halo bias b(m) is an increasing function of halo mass, theabundance of more massive haloes is more strongly boosted in overdenseregions than that of less massive haloes

In other words; massive haloes live in overdense regions

If more massive haloes host more luminous galaxies, we thus e xpect that theluminosity function of galaxies also depends on environmen t

In particular, we will often use the two-point correlation function

Page 38: The Galaxy−Dark Matter Connection - Yale Astronomy · Outline • Statistical Description of Large Scale Structure • Galaxy Bias & The Galaxy-Dark Matter Connection • The Halo

Note that δ~k are complex quantities: δ~k = |δ~k|eiθ~k

Press-Schechter FormalismIn CDM universes, density perturbations grow, turn around from Hu bbleexpansion, collapse, and virialize to form dark matter halo .

According to spherical collapse model the collapse occurs when

δlin = δsc ≃ 320

(12π)2/3 ≃ 1.686

δlin is linearly extrapolated density perturbation field

δsc is critical overdensity for spherical collapse.

Press-Schechter ansatz : if δlin,M(~x) > δsc then ~x is locatedPress-Schechter ansatz: in a halo with mass > M .

The probability that ~x is in a halo of mass > M therefore is

Galactic Conformity

Late type ‘centrals’ have preferentially late type satellites, and vice versa.

Satellite galaxies ‘adjust’ themselves to properties of their central galaxy

Galactic Conformity present over large ranges in luminosity and halo mass.

As noticed before, the late type fraction of satellites increases with radius.This trend is independent of halo mass !

Inconsistent with previous studies, but these included central galaxies.

Blue Fraction as Function of LuminosityIn SAM virtually all satellites are red, contrary to SDSS, where the fraction ofred satellites decreases with luminosity.

In SAM, satellites stripped of hot gas halo immediately after accr etion

⊲ This strangulation is too efficient.

Blue Fraction as Function of Halo MassTo allow for fair comparison, we run our Group Finder over SAM.

Rs = 0.5h−1 Mpc. (McKay et al. 2002; Brainerd & Specian 2003; Prada et al. 2003)

Derivation of Halo Bias IIAccording to PS formalism haloes are associates with regions with anoverdensity δ > δsc

Therefore, we can compute n(m, z|M, V ) = n(m, z|δ) by simplyreplacing δsc with δsc − δ (Peak-Background split) .

Using a Taylor Series expansion to first order, we write that

n(m, z|δ) = n(m, z) + (δsc − δ − δsc)(

∂n∂δsc

)

δsc

which is sufficiently accurate as long as δ ≪ δsc.

Substitution in eq. for δh and only keeping terms to lowest order in δ yields

δh = δ

Derivation of Halo Bias IIIAccording to the PS formalism the halo mass function is

n(m, z) =√

ρm2 | d ln σ

d ln m|√νe−ν/2

with ν = ν(m, z) = δ2sc(z)/σ2(m)

If we define the halo bias as b(m, z) = δh/δ, one obtains that

b(m, z) = 1 + ν−1δsc

The characteristic mass m∗ is defined by σ(m∗) = δsc.

This implies that ν(m∗) = 1, and thus that b(m∗) = 1

ffffffffffffffffffff b(m, z) > 1 if m > m∗ (biased)

ffffffffffffffffffff b(m, z) = 1 if m = m∗ (unbiased)

fff 1 − 1δsc

< b(m, z) < 1 if m < m∗ (anti-biased)

Note that there is an absolute minimim to the halo bias.

TestingR-statistic with MGRSs

• We construct ten MGRSs , that only differ in the velocity bias (bvel) ofthe brightest halo galaxy

• Due to interlopers and incompleteness effects P (R) is significantlybroader than Student t-distribution , even for bvel = 0

• Different bvel result in significantly different P (R), allowing for adetermination of bvel despite interlopers and incompleteness.

Assumptions• All dark matter is collapsed into dark matter haloes

• All galaxies live in dark matter haloes

• Central galaxy resides at rest at center of halo

• Satellite galaxies follow dark matter distribition (NFW pr ofile)

• P (Nsat|M) is Poissonian

• Halo bias: b = b(M) ; HOD: P (N) = P (N |M)

• Accuracy of b(M), n(M), ρ(r) and ξdm(r)

• Halo is a cow, and therefore spherical

• What can we learn from HOD as function of redshift?

Assembly Bias: does it matter?

Assume that halo bias b = b(M, c) with c the halo concentration , but thatHOD does not depend on halo concentration, i.e., 〈N〉 = 〈N〉(M)

bg = 1ng

∫dM 〈N〉(M)

∫dc b(M, c) n(M, c)

However, when ignoring this assembly bias we compute

b′g = 1

ng

∫dM 〈N〉(M) b(M) n(M)

Since b(M) = 1n(M)

∫b(M, c)n(M, c)dc one has that

b′g = 1

ng

∫dM〈N〉(M)

∫dc b(M, c) n(M, c) = bg

However, when 〈N〉 = 〈N〉(M, c) this is no longer true, and b′g 6= bg

Important questions:

• What is b(M, c)?

• Do equal-mass haloes with different c have different galaxy properties?

Derivation of Halo Bias IDefine halo bias as b(m) = δh(m)/δ

Let N(m|M, V ) be the number of haloes of mass m in volume V .

The volume V has an overdensity δ so that M = V ρ(1 + δ) and initiallywas associated with a volume V0 = V (1 + δ).

The overdensity in the number of haloes of mass m is

δh(m) = N(m|M,V )n(m)V

− 1

Here n(m) is the (average) halo mass function.

To take account of the dynamical bias we write

N(m|M, V ) = n(m|M, V )V0 = n(m|M, V )V (1 + δ)

so that

δh(m) = n(m|M,V )n(m)

(1 + δ) − 1

Page 79: The Galaxy−Dark Matter Connection - Yale Astronomy · Outline • Statistical Description of Large Scale Structure • Galaxy Bias & The Galaxy-Dark Matter Connection • The Halo

Derivation of Halo Bias IIPS ansatz: haloes are associates with regions with δ > δsc

Therefore, we can compute n(m|M, V ) = n(m|δ) by simply replacingδsc with δsc − δ (Peak-Background split) .

Using that the halo bias is defined as b(m) = δh(m)/δ, one obtains that

b(m) = 1 + ν−1δsc

where ν = ν(m) = δ2sc/σ2(m)

Using that σ(m∗) ≡ δsc we see that

ffffff b(m) > 1 if m > m∗ (biased)

ffffff b(m) = 1 if m = m∗ (unbiased)

ffffff b(m) < 1 if m = m∗ (unbiased)

fff 1 − 1δsc

< b(m) < 1 if m < m∗ (anti-biased)

Note that there is an absolute minimim to the halo bias: b > 1 − 1δsc
