Two - point correlation function of high - redshift objects on a light - cone : Effect of the linear redshift - space distortion
نویسندگان
چکیده
A theoretical formulation for the two-point correlation function on a light-cone is developed in the redshift space. On the basis of the previous work by Yamamoto & Suto (1999), in which a theoretical formula for the two-point correlation function on a light-cone has been developed in the real space, we extend it to the formula in the redshift space by taking the peculiar velocity of the sources into account. A simple expression for the two-point correlation function is derived. We briefly discuss QSO correlation functions on a light-cone adopting a simple model of the sources.

The effect of bias and redshift distortions on a geometric test for the cosmological constant
We revisit the feasibility of a cosmological test with the geometric distortion focusing on an ambiguous factor of the evolution of bias. Starting from defining estimators for the spatial two-point correlation function and the power spectrum, in a rigorous manner, we derive useful formulas for the two-point clustering statistics which take the light-cone effect and the redshift-space distortion...
متن کاملClustering statistics on a light-cone in the cosmological redshift space
We summarize a series of our recent work concerning the cosmological redshift-space distortion and light-cone effects. After briefly describing the theoretical formalism, we show how those effects are sensitive to the cosmological parameters. Then we apply this formalism to predict the two-point correlation functions and power spectra for the X-ray clusters, galaxies and quasars in future surve...
متن کاملThe cosmological light-cone effect on the power spectrum of galaxies and quasars in wide-field redshift surveys
We examine observational consequences of the cosmological light-cone effect on the power spectrum of the distribution of galaxies and quasars from upcoming redshift surveys. First we derive an expression for the power spectrum of cosmological objects in real space on a light cone, PLC R,lin(k), which is exact in linear theory of density perturbations. Next we incorporate corrections for the non...
متن کاملRadial Redshift Space Distortions
The radial component of the peculiar velocities of galaxies cause displacements in their positions in redshift space. We study the effect of the peculiar velocities on the linear redshift space two point correlation function. Our analysis takes into account the radial nature of the redshift space distortions and it highlights the limitations of the plane parallel approximation. We consider the ...
متن کاملThe Gravitational Lensing in Redshift-space Correlation Functions of Galaxies and Quasars
The gravitational lensing, as well as the velocity field and the cosmological light-cone warp, changes the observed correlation function of high-redshift objects. We present an analytical expression of 3D correlation function, simultaneously including those three effects. When two objects are separated over several hundreds Mpc along a line of sight, the observed correlation function is dominat...
