Measuring 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...
متن کاملHigh-order 2MASS galaxy correlation functions: Probing the primordial density field and the linearity of galaxy bias
We use the 2 Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) extended source catalogue to determine area-averaged angular correlation functions, ω̄p, to high orders (p 69). The main sample used contains 650 745 galaxies below an extinction-corrected magnitude of Ks=13.5 and limited to |b| >10 ◦ and represents an order of magnitude increase in solid angle over previous samples used in such analysis (≈34 000 deg). ...
متن کاملThe 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: Higher order galaxy correlation functions
We measure moments of the galaxy count probability distribution function in the two-degree field galaxy redshift survey (2dFGRS). The survey is divided into volume limited subsamples in order to examine the dependence of the higher order clustering on galaxy luminosity. We demonstrate the hierarchical scaling of the averaged p-point galaxy correlation functions, ξ̄p, up to p = 6. The hierarchica...
متن کاملProjected 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 کاملThe Atacama Cosmology Telescope: measuring radio galaxy bias through cross-correlation with lensing
We correlate the positions of radio galaxies in the FIRST survey with the cosmic microwave background lensing convergence estimated from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope over 470 deg2 to determine the bias of these galaxies. We remove optically cross-matched sources below redshift z = 0.2 to preferentially select active galactic nuclei (AGN). We measure the angular cross-power spectrumC l at 4.4...
