Projected Three-Point Correlation Functions and Galaxy Bias
The three-point correlation function (3PCF) can now be measured in large galaxy redshift surveys, but in three dimensions its interpretation is complicated by the presence of redshift-space distortions. I investigate the projected 3PCF, where these distortions are eliminated by integrating over the redshift dimension, as is commonly done for the two-point correlation function. The calculation o...
متن کاملConstraining the mass distribution of galaxies using galaxy-galaxy lensing in clusters and in the field
We present a maximum-likelihood analysis of galaxy-galaxy lensing effects in galaxy clusters and in the field. The aim is to determine the accuracy and robustness of constraints that can be obtained on galaxy halo properties in both environments the high density cluster and the low density field. This paper is theoretically motivated, therefore, we work exclusively with simulated data (neverthe...
متن کاملMeasuring the Galaxy-Galaxy-Mass Three-point Correlation Function with Weak Gravitational Lensing
We discuss the galaxy-galaxy-mass three-point correlation function and show how to measure it with weak gravitational lensing. The method entails choosing a large of pairs of foreground lens galaxies and constructing a mean shear map with respect to their axis, by averaging the ellipticities of background source galaxies. An average mass map can be reconstructed from this shear map and this wil...
متن کاملThe Three-point Correlation Function of Galaxies Determined from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey
In a detailed analysis of the three point correlation function (3PCF) for the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey we have accurately measured the 3PCF for galaxies of different luminosity. The 3PCF amplitudes [Qred(s, u, v) or Qproj(rp, u, v)] of the galaxies generally decrease with increasing triangle size and increase with the shape parameter v, in qualitative agreement with the predictions for the cl...
متن کاملMeasuring Galaxy Bias from the High-order Correlation Functions
In this talk, I will show how to determine the biasing factor b from the high-order moments of galaxies. The determination is based on the analytical modeling of primordial peaks and virialized halos and is independent of the currently unknown density parameter Ω0 and other cosmological parameters. The observed high-oder moments of the APM galaxies require that the biasing factor b be very clos...
