The evolution of two-point correlation function of galaxies with a twin-peak initial power spectrum
Abstract
The evolution equation of two-point correlation function of galaxies can analytically describe the large scale structure of the galaxy distribution, and the solution depends also upon the initial condition. The primeval spectrum of the baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) contains multi peaks that survived the Silk damping, and, as a relevant portion, two peaks of the primeval BAO spectrum fall into the range of current galaxy surveys. Incorporating this portion, we use a twin-peak initial power spectrum of the galaxies, and obtain the evolution solution from a redshift to in the Gaussian approximation. The outcome at still exhibits the 100 Mpc periodic bumps as observed by the WiggleZ survey, a feature largely determined by the Jeans length in the equation. In particular, due to the superposition of the twin peaks in the initial condition, shows a shallow trough at Mpc and a deep trough at Mpc, agreeing with the observational data, much better than our previous work that used a simple one-peak initial spectrum.
