The effects of non-linearity on the growth rate constraint from velocity correlation functions
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society(2023)
摘要
The two-point statistics of the cosmic velocity field, measured from galaxy
peculiar velocity (PV) surveys, can be used as a dynamical probe to constrain
the growth rate of large-scale structures in the universe. Most works use the
statistics on scales down to a few tens of Megaparsecs, while using a
theoretical template based on the linear theory. In addition, while the cosmic
velocity is volume-weighted, the observable line-of-sight velocity two-point
correlation is density-weighted, as sampled by galaxies, and therefore the
density-velocity correlation term also contributes, which has often been
neglected. These effects are fourth order in powers of the linear density
fluctuation δ_ L^4, compared to δ_ L^2 of the linear
velocity correlation function, and have the opposite sign. We present these
terms up to δ_ L^4 in real space based on the standard perturbation
theory, and investigate the effect of non-linearity and the density-velocity
contribution on the inferred growth rate fσ_8, using N-body
simulations. We find that for a next-generation PV survey of volume ∼
O(500 h^-1 Mpc)^3, these effects amount to a shift of
fσ_8 by ∼ 10 per cent and is comparable to the forecasted
statistical error when the minimum scale used for parameter estimation is
r_ min = 20 h^-1 Mpc.
