摘要： The High Latitude Spectroscopic Survey (HLSS) is the reference baseline spectroscopic survey for NASA's Nancy Grace Roman space telescope, measuring redshifts of $\sim 10$M H$\alpha$ emission line galaxies over a $2000$ deg$^2$ footprint at $z=1-2$. In this work, we use a realistic Roman galaxy mock catalogue to explore optimal modeling of the measured power spectrum. We consider two methods for modelling the redshift-space distortions (one with the canonical Kaiser squashing term $M_A$, and another with a window function on $\beta$ that selects out the coherent radial infall pairwise velocities $M_B$), two models for the nonlinear impact of baryons that smears the BAO signal (one with a fixed ratio between the smearing scales in the perpendicular $k_*^\perp$ and parallel $k_*^\parallel$ and another where these smearing scales are kept as a free parameters, P$_{dw}(k|k_*)$ and P$_{dw}(k|\Sigma_\perp,\Sigma_\parallel)$), and two analytical nonlinear growth corrections (one employing the halo model $F_{HM}$ and another formulated from simulated galaxy clustering of a semi-analytical model $F_{SAM}$). We find that the best model is P$_{dw}(k|\Sigma_\perp,\Sigma_\parallel)*M_B$, which leads to unbiased measurements of cosmological parameters. We expect the tools that we have developed to be useful in probing dark energy and testing gravity using Roman in an accurate and robust manner.

摘要： If the formation of central galaxies in dark matter haloes traces the assembly history of their host haloes, in haloes of fixed mass, central galaxy clustering may show dependence on properties indicating their formation history. Such a galaxy assembly bias effect has been investigated by Lin et al. 2016, with samples of central galaxies constructed in haloes of similar mass and with mean halo mass verified by galaxy lensing measurements, and no significant evidence of assembly bias is found from the analysis of the projected two-point correlation functions of early- and late-forming central galaxies. In this work, we extend the the investigation of assembly bias effect from real space to redshift (velocity) space, with an extended construction of early- and late-forming galaxies. We carry out halo occupation distribution modelling to constrain the galaxy-halo connection to see whether there is any sign of the effect of assembly bias. We find largely consistent host halo mass for early- and late-forming central galaxies, corroborated by lensing measurements. The central velocity bias parameters, which are supposed to characterise the mutual relaxation between central galaxies and their host haloes, are inferred to overlap between early- and late-forming central galaxies. However, we find a large amplitude of velocity bias for early-forming central galaxies (e.g. with central galaxies moving at more than 50% that of dark matter velocity dispersion inside host haloes), which may signal an assembly bias effect. A large sample with two-point correlation functions and other clustering measurements and improved modelling will help reach a conclusive result.
