Mass function and bias of dark matter halos for non-Gaussian initial conditions
Aims. We revisit the derivation of the mass function and the bias of dark matter halos for non-Gaussian initial conditions. Methods. We use a steepest-descent approach to point out that exact results can be obtained for the large-mass tail of the halo mass function and the two-point correlation of massive halos. Focusing on primordial non-Gaussianity of the local type, we check that these resul...
متن کاملThe mass function of dark matter halos
We combine data from a number of N-body simulations to predict the abundance of dark halos in Cold Dark Matter universes over more than 4 orders of magnitude in mass. A comparison of different simulations suggests that the dominant uncertainty in our results is systematic and is smaller than 10–30% at all masses, depending on the halo definition used. In particular, our “Hubble Volume” simulati...
متن کاملMass functions and bias of dark matter halos
Aims. We revisit the study of the mass functions and the bias of dark matter halos. Methods. Focusing on the limit of rare massive halos, we point out that exact analytical results can be obtained for the large-mass tail of the halo mass function. This is most easily seen from a steepest-descent approach, that becomes asymptotically exact for rare events. We also revisit the traditional derivat...
متن کاملBias and Conditional Mass Function of Nonspherical Dark Halos
Nonspherical collapse is modelled, under the Zeldovich approximation, by sixdimensional random walks of the initial deformation tensor field. The collapse boundary adopted here is a slightly-modified version of that proposed by Chiueh and Lee (2001). Not only the mass function agrees with the fitting formula of Sheth and Tormen (1999), but the bias function and conditional mass function constru...
متن کاملThe Effects of Non-gaussian Initial Conditions on the Structure and Substructure of Cold Dark Matter Halos
We study the structure and substructure of halos obtained in N−body simulations for a Λ Cold Dark Matter (ΛCDM) cosmology with non-Gaussian initial conditions (NGICs). The initial statistics are lognormal in the gravitational potential field with positive (LNp) and negative (LNn) skewness; the sign of the skewness is conserved by the density field, and the power spectrum is the same for all the...
