Scale-dependent bias and the halo model
We use a simplified version of the halo model with a power law power spectrum to study scale dependence in galaxy bias at the very large scales relevant to baryon oscillations. In addition to providing a useful pedagogical explanation of the scale dependence of galaxy bias, the model provides an analytic tool for studying how changes in the Halo Occupation Distribution (HOD) impact the scale de...
متن کاملThe Halo Mass Function from the Excursion Set Method. Ii. the Diffusing Barrier
This paper is the second of a series of three where we study the mass function of virialized dark matter halos using the excursion set method. Motivated by recent large-scale N-body simulations determining the relation between the density threshold for gravitational collapse and the variance of the linear density field for regions that collapse to form halos by the present epoch, we deduce that...
متن کاملThe Halo Mass Function from Excursion Set Theory with a Non-Gaussian Trispectrum
A sizeable level of non-Gaussianity in the primordial cosmological perturbations may be induced by a large trispectrum, i.e. by a large connected four-point correlation function. We compute the effect of a primordial non-Gaussian trispectrum on the halo mass function, within excursion set theory. We use the formalism that we have developed in a previous series of papers and which allows us to t...
متن کاملScale–dependent Galaxy Bias
We present a simple heuristic model to demonstrate how feedback related to the galaxy formation process can result in a scale-dependent bias of mass versus light, even on very large scales. The model invokes the idea that galaxies form initially in locations determined by the local density field, but the subsequent formation of galaxies is also influenced by the presence of nearby galaxies that...
متن کامل“An Excursion into Set Theory using a Constructivist Approach”
Constructive logic is an alternative to the theory of classical logic that draws a direct relation between an assertion and its existence. Some of the few important differences between a classical proof and a constructionist proof include the avoidance of proof by contradiction and the rejection of the law of the excluded middle. However, given the possibility that constructive logic is an alte...
