The DESI One-Percent Survey: Exploring A Generalized SHAM for Multiple Tracers with the UNIT Simulation

Published 9 Jun 2023 in astro-ph.CO | (2306.06313v4)

Abstract: We perform SubHalo Abundance Matching (SHAM) studies on UNIT simulations with {$\sigma, V_{\rm ceil}, v_{\rm smear}$}-SHAM and {$\sigma, V_{\rm ceil},f_{\rm sat}$}-SHAM. They are designed to reproduce the clustering on 5--30$\,\hmpc$ of Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs), Emission Line Galaxies (ELGs) and Quasi-Stellar Objects (QSOs) at $0.4<z<3.5$ from DESI One Percent Survey. $V_{\rm ceil}$ is the incompleteness of the massive host (sub)haloes and is the key to the generalized SHAM. $v_{\rm smear}$ models the clustering effect of redshift uncertainties, providing measurments consistent with those from repeat observations. A free satellite fraction $f_{\rm sat}$ is necessary to reproduce the clustering of ELGs. We find ELGs present a more complex galaxy--halo mass relation than LRGs reflected in their weak constraints on $\sigma$. LRGs, QSOs and ELGs show increasing $V_{\rm ceil}$ values, corresponding to the massive galaxy incompleteness of LRGs, the quenched star formation of ELGs and the quenched black hole accretion of QSOs. For LRGs, a Gaussian $v_{\rm smear}$ presents a better profile for sub-samples at redshift bins than a Lorentzian profile used for other tracers. The impact of the statistical redshift uncertainty on ELG clustering is negligible. The best-fitting satellite fraction for DESI ELGs is around 4 per cent, lower than previous estimations for ELGs. The mean halo mass log${10}(\langle M{\rm vir}\rangle)$ in $\Msun{}$ for LRGs, ELGs and QSOs are ${13.16\pm0.01}$, ${11.90\pm0.06}$ and ${12.66\pm0.45}$ respectively. Our generalized SHAM algorithms facilitate the production of mult-tracer galaxy mocks for cosmological tests.
