1 LSS with angular cross-correlations: Combining Spectro and Photometric Survey Enrique Gaztañaga SDSS Cosmic Web galaxies

2 Goals: - Motivate use of Galaxy Surveys to understand DE - Introduce idea of 2D analysis to combine (3D+2D) probes - Introduce DES and PAU Galaxy Surveys (photo vs spec) - Discuss same sky (overlapping surveys) - Present new Forecast

3 Dark Energy (cosmic acceleration) studies What is causing the acceleration of the expansion of the universe? Einstein s cosmological constant Λ? } Some new dynamical field ( quintessence, Higgs-like)? Dark Energy Modifications to General Relativity? Dark energy effects can be studied in two main cosmological observables: The history of the expansion rate of the universe: supernovae, weak lensing, baryon acoustic oscillations, cluster counting, etc. The history of the rate of the growth of structure (galaxies) in the universe: weak lensing, large-scale structure, cluster counting, etc. For all probes other than SNe, large galaxy surveys are needed: Spectroscopic: 3D (redshift), medium depth, low density, selection effects Photometric: 2.5D (photo-z), deeper, higher density, no selection effects 3

5 Observing DE: H(z) & D(z) & more Expansion history: H 2 (z) = H 2 0 [ Ω M (1+z) 3 + Ω R (1+z) 4 + Ω K (1+z) 2 + Ω DE (1+z) 3(1+w) ] matter radiation curvarure dark energy w=p/ρ Measurements are usually integrals over H(z) r(z) = dz/h(z) Standard Candles (supernova) d L (z) = (1+z) r(z) Standard Rulers (BAO) d a (z) = (1+z) 1 r(z) or H(z)=cdz/r directly Volume Markers (clusters) dv/dzdω = r 2 (z)/h(z) Linear Growth history: Non-linear Growth history Higher order correlations, Cluster abundance, profiles Solar & Astro test of gravity δ = D(z) δ 0

6 Figure of Merit (FoM): Expansion x Growth w(z) -> Expansion History (background metric) we will use w0 and wa γ -> Growth History (metric perturbations) probably need one more parameter here δ = Hθ Linear Theory: P(k,z) ~D 2 (z) P(k,0) + mass conservation θ = f(ω) δ f = Velocity growth factor: tell us if gravity is really responsible for structure formation Could also tell us about cosmological parameters or Modify Gravity 1 = σ(w0) σ(wa) σ(γ) Om - ODE - h - sig8 - Ob - w0 - wa -γ- ns - bias(z) Is this the best choice for 3 parameters?

7 Cosmic Maps They are time machines Can measure time = redshift z Need a way to measure distance to get H(z): expansion history Need a way to measure growth of structure: growth history Comparison of expansion and growth history will tell us if GR is correct on large scales and nature of DE

8 Galaxy Surveys Photometric: poor radial (redshift) resolution (~300 Mpc/h), more Volume good for 2D (WL: Weak Gravitational lensing) DES, VISTA, Pan-STARRS, Subaru/HSC, Skymapper, LSST PAU Spectroscopic: good radial resolution (1-10Mpc/h), but very costly (hard to go deep, smaller Volume, and smaller density) good for BAO and RSD WiggleZ, BOSS, e-boss, Subaru/Sumire, BiggBOSS, DESpec,

9 Main Observables galaxy counts: galaxy shear: δ G (z) = b δ + δ vel + 2(s-1) δκ + δfg + ε G bias 3D wl: 2D foregr noise δγ (z) = b ia δ + bκ δκ + δfg + εκ intrinsic alignments 3D RSD 3D wl: 2D noise CMB Temperature: δ T (z=zd) = δ ( z=zd) + δ ISW +SZ + δκ + δfg + ε T intrinsic 2D wl:2d Ly-alpha Forest: δ F (z) = b F δ + δ vel + α F δκ + ε F galaxy magnitudes: δ m (z) = b m δ + δ vel + α m δκ + ε m

10 2D vs 3D clustering: Photo-z vs Spectro-z 1) Can measure photometric clustering with 3D 2) Can measure spectroscopic clustering with 2D angular cross-correlations 3) Can use a mix approach 2Dx3D covariance.

21 Photometric Redshifts Measure relative flux in multiple filters: track the 4000 A break Estimate individual galaxy redshifts with accuracy σ(z) < 0.1 (~0.02 for clusters) Precision is sufficient for 2D Dark Energy probes, provided error distributions well measured. Good detector response in z band filter needed to reach z>1 Elliptical galaxy spectrum

23 Photo-z error and WL For pure WL shear a 5-10% photo-z error is good enough because of broad (2D) projection (WL sees all matter in front of source galaxies): γ1 ~ γ2 Shear for source galaxy at z1 γ1 γ2 To avoid intrinsic alignment contamination to WL signal we want to do <γ1 γ2> instead of <γ1 γ1> Observ er Photo-z outliers might are then more important

25 The Project in a Nutshell New camera for WHT with 18 2k x 4k CCDs covering 1 deg FoV Å-wide filters covering Å in 6 movable filter trays, which also include standard ugrizy filters. As a survey camera, it can cover ~2 deg 2 per night in all filters. Actual measurements in MICE simulations It can provide low-resolution spectra (Δλ/λ ~ 2%, or R ~ 50) for >30000 galaxies, 5000 stars, 1000 quasars, 10 galaxy clusters, per night. Expected galaxy redshift resolution σ(z) ~ (1+z) 25

Weak Lensing: 2D (unbiased but degenerate & few 2D modes) 4. Redshift Space Distortions (can be used in to measure bias 1D) => measure bias: Combine probes/traces: RSD + WL Cross-correlate probes: galaxy-lensing Combine Photometric & Spectroscopic Surveys: sampling variance, photo-z accuracy astro- ph:

40 Importance of Covariance <FB> ~ 0 can reduce sampling variance by sqrt(2) <FB> ~ 1 no reduciton if F and B are the same <FB> ~ 1 larger reduciton if F and B are different but have same noise, because of noise cancelation. In this case number of modes is less important PF / PB ~ (bf +f µ 2 )/(bb +f µ 2 ) Because of Limber and 3D+2D approximations previous studies removes the covariance in radial modes. 40
