Passive Evolution of Galaxy Clustering
We present a numerical study of the evolution of galaxy clustering when galaxies flow passively from high redshift, respecting the continuity equation throughout. While passive flow is a special case of galaxy evolution, it allows a well-defined study of galaxy ancestry and serves as an interesting limit to be compared to non-passive cases. We use dissipationless N-body simulations, assign gala...
متن کاملEvolution of Faint Galaxy Clustering
The UH8K wide field camera of the CFHT was used to image 0.68 deg2 of sky. From these images, ∼20,000 galaxies were detected to completeness magnitudes V < 23.5 and I < 22.5. The angular correlation function of these galaxies is well represented by the parameterization ω(θ) = AW θ−δ . The slope δ ' −0.8 shows no significant variation over the range of magnitude. The amplitude AW decreases with ...
متن کاملThe evolution of galaxy clustering
This paper investigates whether nonlinear gravitational instability can account for the clustering of galaxies on large and small scales, and for the evolution of clustering with epoch. The local clustering spectrum is accurately established, and bias is not a great source of uncertainty: the real-space power spectra of optical and IRAS galaxies show only a weak scale-dependent relative bias of...
متن کاملModelling the evolution of galaxy clustering
Measurements of galaxy clustering are now becoming possible over a range of redshifts out to z ∼ 3. We use a semi-analytic model of galaxy formation to compute the expected evolution of the galaxy correlation function with redshift. We illustrate how the degree of clustering evolution is sensitive to the details of sample selection. For a fixed apparent magnitude limit, galaxies selected at hig...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Galaxy Clustering in Hierarchical Models
The main ingredients of recent semi-analytic models of galaxy formation are summarised. We present predictions for the galaxy clustering properties of a well specified ΛCDM model whose parameters are constrained by observed local galaxy properties. We present preliminary predictions for evolution of clustering that can be probed with deep pencil beam surveys.
