  • Power Spectrum of halo intrinsic alignments in simulations
    Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020
    Co-Authors: Toshiki Kurita, Masahiro Takada, Takahiro Nishimichi, Ryuichi Takahashi, Ken Osato, Yosuke Kobayashi
    Abstract:

    We use a suite of $N$-body simulations to study intrinsic alignments (IA) of halo shapes with the surrounding large-scale structure in the $\Lambda$CDM model. For this purpose, we develop a novel method to measure multipole moments of the three-dimensional Power Spectrum of the $E$-mode field of halo shapes with the matter/halo distribution, $P_{\delta E}^{(\ell)}(k)$ (or $P^{(\ell)}_{{\rm h}E}$), and those of the auto-Power Spectrum of the $E$ mode, $P^{(\ell)}_{EE}(k)$, based on the $E$/$B$-mode decomposition. The IA Power spectra have non-vanishing amplitudes over the linear to nonlinear scales, and the large-scale amplitudes at $k\lesssim 0.1~h~{\rm Mpc}^{-1}$ are related to the matter Power Spectrum via a constant coefficient ($A_{\rm IA}$), similar to the linear bias parameter. We find that the cross- and auto-Power spectra $P_{\delta E}$ and $P_{EE}$ at nonlinear scales, $k\gtrsim 0.1~h~{\rm Mpc}^{-1}$, show different $k$-dependences relative to the matter Power Spectrum, suggesting a violation of the nonlinear alignment model commonly used to model contaminations of cosmic shear signals. The IA Power spectra exhibit baryon acoustic oscillations, and vary with halo samples of different masses, redshifts and cosmological parameters ($\Omega_{\rm m}, S_8$). The cumulative signal-to-noise ratio for the IA Power spectra is about 60\% of that for the halo density Power Spectrum, where the super-sample covariance is found to give a significant contribution to the total covariance. Our results demonstrate that the IA Power spectra of galaxy shapes, measured from imaging and spectroscopic surveys for an overlapping area of the sky, can be Powerful tools to probe the underlying matter Power Spectrum, the primordial curvature perturbations, and cosmological parameters, in addition to the standard galaxy density Power Spectrum.

  • Accurate emulator for the redshift-space Power Spectrum of dark matter halos and its application to galaxy Power Spectrum
    Physical Review D, 2020
    Co-Authors: Yosuke Kobayashi, Masahiro Takada, Takahiro Nishimichi, Ryuichi Takahashi, Ken Osato
    Abstract:

    An accurate theoretical template of the redshift-space galaxy Power Spectrum, if applicable out to nonlinear scales, enables us to extract more stringent and robust constraints on cosmological parameters from the measured galaxy clustering. In this work we develop a simulation-based template, so-called emulator, for the redshift-space Power Spectrum of dark matter halos. Using the redshift-space halo Power spectra measured from the Dark Quest $N$-body simulation suite that covers 101 flat-geometry $w$CDM cosmologies around the Planck $\Lambda$CDM model, we feed these data into a feed-forward neural network to build the fast and accurate emulation of the Power Spectrum from the linear to nonlinear scales up to $k \simeq 0.6 \, h \, {\rm Mpc}^{-1}$. Our emulator achieves about 1 and 5% fractional accuracies in predicting the monopole and quadrupole moments of the Power Spectrum, respectively, for halos of $\sim 10^{13}h^{-1}M_\odot$ that correspond to host halos of the SDSS LOWZ- and CMASS-like galaxies, where the achieved accuracies are sufficient compared to the statistical errors of SDSS volume. The validation and performance of the emulator are given by the comparison of the emulator predictions with the Power spectra directly measured from the simulations for validation sets that are not used in the training. We demonstrate that the emulator outputs can be used to make model predictions for the redshift-space Power Spectrum of galaxies by employing user-fed models for the halo-galaxy connection, such as the halo occupation distribution. The emulator allows us to easily incorporate the Finger-of-God effect due to the virial motions of galaxies and the Alcock--Paczy\'{n}ski distortions. Our code can compute the redshift-space galaxy Power Spectrum in a CPU subseconds, and is ready to perform the emulator-based cosmological analysis for the exiting and upcoming galaxy redshift surveys.

  • PRISM: Sparse Recovery of the Primordial Power Spectrum
    Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2014
    Co-Authors: P. Paykari, Jean-luc Starck, Francois Lanusse, F. Sureau, Jérôme Bobin
    Abstract:

    The primordial Power Spectrum describes the initial perturbations in the Universe which eventually grew into the large-scale structure we observe today, and thereby provides an indirect probe of inflation or other structure-formation mechanisms. Here, we introduce a new method to estimate this Spectrum from the empirical Power Spectrum of cosmic microwave background (CMB) maps. A sparsity-based linear inversion method, coined \textbf{PRISM}, is presented. This technique leverages a sparsity prior on features in the primordial Power Spectrum in a wavelet basis to regularise the inverse problem. This non-parametric approach does not assume a strong prior on the shape of the primordial Power Spectrum, yet is able to correctly reconstruct its global shape as well as localised features. These advantages make this method robust for detecting deviations from the currently favoured scale-invariant Spectrum. We investigate the strength of this method on a set of WMAP 9-year simulated data for three types of primordial Power spectra: a nearly scale-invariant Spectrum, a Spectrum with a small running of the spectral index, and a Spectrum with a localised feature. This technique proves to easily detect deviations from a pure scale-invariant Power Spectrum and is suitable for distinguishing between simple models of the inflation. We process the WMAP 9-year data and find no significant departure from a nearly scale-invariant Power Spectrum with the spectral index $n_s = 0.972$. A high resolution primordial Power Spectrum can be reconstructed with this technique, where any strong local deviations or small global deviations from a pure scale-invariant Spectrum can easily be detected.

    Aims. The primordial Power Spectrum describes the initial perturbations in the Universe which eventually grew into the large-scale structure we observe today, and thereby provides an indirect probe of inflation or other structure-formation mechanisms. Here, we introduce a new method to estimate this Spectrum from the empirical Power Spectrum of cosmic microwave background maps. Methods. A sparsity-based linear inversion method, named PRISM, is presented. This technique leverages a sparsity prior on features in the primordial Power Spectrum in a wavelet basis to regularise the inverse problem. This non-parametric approach does not assume a strong prior on the shape of the primordial Power Spectrum, yet is able to correctly reconstruct its global shape as well as localised features. These advantages make this method robust for detecting deviations from the currently favoured scale-invariant Spectrum. Results. We investigate the strength of this method on a set of WMAP nine-year simulated data for three types of primordial Power spectra: a near scale-invariant Spectrum, a Spectrum with a small running of the spectral index, and a Spectrum with a localised feature. This technique proves that it can easily detect deviations from a pure scale-invariant Power Spectrum and is suitable for distinguishing between simple models of the inflation. We process the WMAP nine-year data and find no significant departure from a near scale-invariant Power Spectrum with the spectral index ns = 0.972. Conclusions. A high-resolution primordial Power Spectrum can be reconstructed with this technique, where any strong local deviations or small global deviations from a pure scale-invariant Spectrum can easily be detected.

The IA Power spectra have non-vanishing amplitudes over the linear to nonlinear scales, and the large-scale amplitudes at $k\lesssim 0.1~h~{\rm Mpc}^{-1}$ are related to the matter Power Spectrum via a constant coefficient ($A_{\rm IA}$), similar to the linear bias parameter of galaxy or halo density field. We find that the cross- and auto-Power spectra $P_{\delta E}$ and $P_{EE}$ at nonlinear scales, $k\gtrsim 0.1~h~{\rm Mpc}^{-1}$, show different $k$-dependences relative to the matter Power Spectrum, suggesting a violation of the nonlinear alignment model commonly used to model contaminations of cosmic shear signals. The IA Power spectra exhibit baryon acoustic oscillations, and vary with halo samples of different masses, redshifts and cosmological parameters ($\Omega_{\rm m}, S_8$). The cumulative signal-to-noise ratio for the IA Power spectra is about 60% of that for the halo density Power Spectrum, where the super-sample covariance is found to give a significant contribution to the total covariance. Thus our results demonstrate that the IA Power spectra of galaxy shapes, measured from imaging and spectroscopic surveys for an overlapping area of the sky, can be used to probe the underlying matter Power Spectrum, the primordial curvature perturbations, and cosmological parameters, in addition to the standard galaxy density Power Spectrum.

    Abstract:

    An accurate theoretical template of the redshift-space galaxy Power Spectrum, if applicable out to nonlinear scales, enables us to extract more stringent and robust constraints on cosmological parameters from the measured galaxy clustering. In this work, we develop a simulation-based template, so-called emulator, for the redshift-space Power Spectrum of dark matter halos. Using the redshift-space halo Power spectra measured from the dark quest N-body simulation suite that covers 101 flat-geometry w-cold dark matter (wCDM) cosmologies around the Planck ΛCDM model, we feed these data into a feed-forward neural network to build the fast and accurate emulation of the Power Spectrum from the linear to nonlinear scales up to k≃0.6h Mpc-1. Our emulator achieves about 1% and 5% fractional accuracies in predicting the monopole and quadrupole moments of the Power Spectrum, respectively, for halos of ∼1013h-1 M⊙ that correspond to host halos of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) LOWZ- and CMASS (constant mass)-like galaxies, where the achieved accuracies are sufficient compared to the statistical errors of SDSS volume. The validation and performance of the emulator are given by the comparison of the emulator predictions with the Power spectra directly measured from the simulations for validation sets that are not used in the training. We demonstrate that the emulator outputs can be used to make model predictions for the redshift-space Power Spectrum of galaxies by employing user-fed models for the halo-galaxy connection, such as the halo occupation distribution. The emulator allows us to easily incorporate the Finger-of-God effect due to the virial motions of galaxies and the Alcock-Paczyński distortions. Our code can compute the redshift-space galaxy Power Spectrum in a CPU subseconds and is ready to perform the emulator-based cosmological analysis for the exiting and upcoming galaxy redshift surveys.
