We use a simplified version of the halo model with a power law power spectrum to study scale dependence in galaxy bias at the very large scales relevant to baryon oscillations. In addition to providing a useful pedagogical explanation of…
The statistical analysis of the lensing effects coupled with the statistical analysis of the number counts is a tool to probe directly the relation between the mass and the light. In particular, some properties of the bias parameter can be…
We use the Gigaparsec WiggleZ (GiggleZ) simulations to characterise galaxy bias and its scale dependence for a range of redshifts and halo masses in a standard $\Lambda$LCDM cosmology. Assuming bias converges to a scale independent form at…
It has been known for a long time that the clustering of galaxies changes as a function of galaxy type. This galaxy bias acts as a hindrance to the extraction of cosmological information from the galaxy power spectrum or correlation…
We forecast the future constraints on scale-dependent parametrizations of galaxy bias and their impact on the estimate of cosmological parameters from the power spectrum of galaxies measured in a spectroscopic redshift survey. For the…
Using large-scale hydrodynamic simulations with heuristic criteria for galaxy formation, we investigate how the galaxy field is related to the mass density and the gas temperature. We find that the bias b(R) = sigma_g(R)/sigma(R), where…
We examine the scale dependence of dark matter, halo and galaxy clustering on very large scales (0.01<k[h/Mpc]<0.15), due to non-linear effects from dynamics and halo bias. We pursue a two line offensive: high resolution numerical…
We formulate the concept of non-linear and stochastic galaxy biasing in the framework of halo occupation statistics. Using two-point statistics in projection, we define the galaxy bias function, b_g(r_p), and the galaxy-dark matter…
Using $N$-body simulations with massive neutrino density perturbations, we detect the scale-dependent linear halo bias with high significance. This is the first time that this effect is detected in simulations containing neutrino density…
On large scales, the higher order moments of the mass distribution, $S_J=\xibar_J/\xibar_2^{J-1}$, e.g., the skewness $S_3$ and kurtosis $S_4$, can be predicted using non-linear perturbation theory. Comparison of these predictions with…
We have measured the correlation between the lensing signal induced by (dark) matter and number counts of galaxies on scales ranging from 0.15-3.0 h_{50}^{-1} Mpc (which correspond to aperture radii of 1-15 arcminutes). This provides a…
We investigate the clustering of halos in cosmological models starting with general local-type non-Gaussian primordial fluctuations. We employ multiple Gaussian fields and add local-type non-Gaussian corrections at arbitrary order to cover…
We study whether the bias factors of galaxies can be unbiasedly recovered from their power spectra and bispectra. We use a set of numerical N-body simulations and construct large mock galaxy catalogs based upon the semi-analytical model of…
If one accounts for correlations between scales, then nonlocal, k-dependent halo bias is part and parcel of the excursion set approach, and hence of halo model predictions for galaxy bias. We present an analysis that distinguishes between a…
Distribution of galaxies may be a biased tracer of the dark matter distribution and the relation between the galaxies and the total mass may be stochastic, non-linear and time-dependent. Since many observations of galaxy clustering will be…
Models of galaxy and halo clustering commonly assume that the tracers can be treated as a continuous field locally biased with respect to the underlying mass distribution. In the peak model pioneered by BBKS, one considers instead density…
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…
The scale-dependent bias effect on the galaxy power spectrum is a very promising probe of the local primordial non-Gaussianity (PNG) parameter $f_{\rm NL}$, but the amplitude of the effect is proportional to $f_{\rm NL}b_{\phi}$, where…
The two-point clustering of dark matter halos is influenced by halo properties besides mass, a phenomenon referred to as halo assembly bias. Using the depth of the gravitational potential well, $V_{\rm max}$, as our secondary halo property,…
The observed distribution of galaxies has local transverse isotropy around the line-of- sight (LOS) with respect to the observer. The difference in the statistical clustering signal along and across the line-of-sight encodes important…
