How to describe galaxy distribution in space? in 1980,great wall 2PCF widely used for 2dFGRS/SDSS

  • Correlation function: 2-points, 3-points

etc (1980, Peebles)

  • 2PCF describes how galaxies are

biased with dark matter distribution

  • 2PCF etc can well constrain the

cosmological parameters

?

Two-point correlation

Galaxy alignment

  • satellite-satellite
  • satellite-central
  • central-central
  • central-LSS

Several types of galaxy alignment

Small scales

One halo term Two halo term

Galaxy alignment is seen on different scales

slide-4
SLIDE 4

In addition to galaxy clustering, Why do we care galaxy alignment?

On small scale (one-halo term)

  • Infer dark matter halo shape from galaxy alignment
  • alignment to infer galaxy formation?
  • primordial anisotropic accretion or evolution

(Nature vs Nurture?) On large scales (two-halo term)

  • Interaction of halo shape to cosmic tidal field
  • intrinsic alignment of galaxies (crucial to weak lensing)
  • formation of cosmic web?
  • dependence on DM/DE properties?

Satellite galaxy in the Milky Way

  • 2005:Milky Way satellites are in a

thin disc

  • 2007:The same is true in M31, but

weaker

  • 2013: Satellites in the disc are co-

rotated !

Kroupa 2005

MW and M31 are special? need large galaxy sample

2,satellite-central alignment

From 2dFGRS and SDSS

  • satellite galaxies are aligned with the major axis of

central galaxy

  • stronger alignment for red centrals
  • strong alignment for red satellites

Brainerd 05, Yang+06 group galaxy

SLIDE 8

Modeling the satellite-central alignment Halo is triaxial Kang et al. 07 using SAM

results

  • if central galaxy follow major axis of DM halo

(inside virial radius): signal too strong

  • need some mis-alignment (inner DM halo, or

spin) signal is OK, but no color dependence

N-body study is limited as its difficult to properly determine the shape of central galaxy

Zel’dovich approximation for formation of cosmic web

ρ(x) = ¯ ρ [1 D λ1(q)] [1 D λ2(q)] [1 D λ3(q)]

  • I. define the LSS environment

ƛ ~ eig of (∂i∂j ɸ)

Following Zeldovich, Hahn+2007. define the LSS environment:

  • smooth the density field
  • compute the potential
  • compute eigenvector of tidal field

Tij(x) = ∂2φ ∂xi∂xj ,

  • number of +- eigenvalue determine: voids, sheet, filament, nodes

  • Minor axis of halo:

align with the most collapsed direction

  • Spin of halo : normal

to the mass accretion direction

A common scenario for mass flow in cosmic web

Codis+12, Cautun+14

  • mass flow from Voids —> Wall —

>Filament —>Nodes

  • environment of halo changes as

Wall—>Filament-Nodes

  • the velocity field around cosmic

web determines the spin-LSS correlation!

  • riginal idea from Bond+96,

van de Weygaert 96

slide-15
SLIDE 15
  • in Wall, spin is parallel to wall.
  • In Filament, spin is perpendicular to filament

This scenario is basically right but details to be declared From this cosmic mass flow, we expect But, simulations have found In Filament, there is still a mass dependence (spin flip) Any dependence on halo migrating time ? (from wall to filament) can we see the spin flip during the history of a massive halo?

1) accretion along Halo major axis (λ1):

2) accretion along e3 of LSS (λ3): The least compressed

direction

N-body simulation

  • WMAP7 cosmology, LCDM
  • box: 200Mpc/h, 1024^3 particles
  • Full merger trees are constructed for every

halo from z=10 to z=0

subhalos accretion along halo major axis and e3 of LSS dependence on host halo mass (selected at z=0)

black: along halo major axis red: along e3 of LSS

Kang & Wang, 2015 ApJ

we find: Accretion along halo major axis: universal Accretion along e3 of LSS: not universal

  • Libeskind+14, Universal along e3 of LSS

The evolution of spin-LSS and mass accretion spin-e3 correlation

mass accretion-e3 correlation

There are evolution effects, at earlier times

  • mass accretion is perpendicular to Filament
  • Spin is parallel to Filament

,

Large FA: highly anisotropy Lower FA: collapse happen

  • n all directions

ƛ ~ eig of (∂i∂j ɸ)

Wang & Kang, 2016 in prep

Nodes: spin is normal to e3 Filament: mass dependence

slide-20
SLIDE 20

Dependence on time of formation and entering in Filament

Spin-LSS: dependence on Z_formation and Z_filament

  • Later formed halo is more perpendicular to filament
  • Massive haloes: entering filament first, and then formed later

(spin is build by mass accretion along filament)

  • Low-mass halo: forms early, but entering filament later (spin is

build when they were in wall)

Wang & Kang, 2016 in prep

slide-21
SLIDE 21
  • satellite-central alignment can be

ascribed to primordial anisotropy at accretion or the triaxial nature of DM halo

  • central galaxy is better aligned with

inner halo shape, and alignment increases with halo mass

  • subhalo accretion along halo major

axis is universal, being strong in massive haloes

  • Halo spin-LSS is not universal

(subhalo accretion along LSS is not universal)

  • Low-mass halo forms early, but

enter filament later (spin is formed in wall, so parallel to filament)

  • High-mass halo enter filament

early, but form later (spin is formed in filament by mass accretion along it)

Summary

  • Galaxies are distributed anisotropically on different scales
