Galaxy skew-spectra in redshift-space

چکیده
Modern galaxy surveys focus on the power spectrum or 2-point correlation function to test and constrain cosmological models. Additional information comes from higher-order N-point functions, but their analysis is challenging. A simple solution compute cross-power between squared density density. Being measure plot, this skew-spectrum shares many of familiar useful properties standard spectrum. We show that by computing multiple quadratic fields correlating them with density, all contributions tree-level redshift-space bispectrum can be captured skew-spectra. Using synthetic datasets, we our measurement pipeline matches analytical predictions, dependence bias parameters logarithmic growth rate as expected theoretically.

Parameterisation of Galaxy Spectra in the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey has already yielded over 135,000 galaxy spectra (out of the planned 250,000). We present a method for the parameterisation of galaxy spectra in the 2dF and other large redshift surveys using a new continuous parameter η = 0.44pc1 − pc2, based on a Principal Components Analysis (where pc1 and pc2 are the projections onto the first and second principal components re...
متن کاملNon-linear Redshift-Space Power Spectra
Distances in cosmology are usually inferred from observed redshifts—an estimate that is dependent on the local peculiar motion—giving a distorted view of the three-dimensional structure and affecting basic observables such as the correlation function and power spectrum. We calculate the full nonlinear redshiftspace power spectrum for Gaussian fields, giving results for both the standard flat-sk...
متن کاملCorrelating galaxy morphologies and spectra in the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey
The correlation between a galaxy’s morphology and its observed optical spectrum is investigated. As an example, 4000 galaxies from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey, which possess both good quality spectra and have visually determined morphologies are analysed. Of particular use is the separation of Early and Late type galaxies present in a redshift survey since these can then be used in their res...
متن کاملEigenmode Analysis of Galaxy Distributions in Redshift Space
Eigenmode analysis is one of the most promising methods of analyzing large data sets in ongoing and near-future galaxy surveys. In such analyses, a fast evaluation of the correlation matrix in arbitrary cosmological models is crucial. The observational effects, including peculiar velocity distortions in redshift space, light-cone effects, selection effects, and effects of the complex shape of t...
متن کاملNonlinear Cosmological Power Spectra in Real and Redshift–Space
We present an expression for the nonlinear evolution of the cosmological power spectrum based on following Lagrangian trajectories. This is simplified using the Zel’dovich approximation to trace particle displacements, assuming Gaussian initial conditions. The model is found to exhibit the transfer of power from large to small scales expected in self-gravitating fields. Some exact solutions are...
