3 Dark energy study prospects Precision measurements of distance, growth, and curvature: it is desirable for future surveys to provide results of the distance and growth of structure, so that different theoretical models can be discernible. Is dark energy a cosmological constant? : w=-1 even with generalized parameterization of all possibilities, e.g. variation of w, screening effect, induced anisotropy etc. Is dark energy isotropic and homogeneous? : we need examine the distribution, mean, and rms value of w over all the pixels to see. Is acceleration caused by modified gravity instead? : we need at least two different probes, WL and coherent motions. New probe of dark energy / Y.-S. Song / ysong@kias.re.kr 3/30

5 Beyond standard models With the level of precision available in these surveys, what they tell us about fundamental physics? : whether we can test GR cosmologically, whether we can constrain beyond Standard Model of particle physics. What can a wide deep survey tell us about the basic assumptions behind the standard cosmology? : test cosmological principle (isotropy and homogeneity), and Gaussianity. What are the technical challenges to making these future surveys productive? New probe of dark energy / Y.-S. Song / ysong@kias.re.kr 5/30

13 P s (k,μ) in polar coordinate P s (k,μ) = P gg (k) + 2μ 2 P gg (k)p ΘΘ (k) + μ 4 P ΘΘ (k) YSS, Kayo 2010 New probe of dark energy / Y.-S. Song / ysong@kias.re.kr 13/30

14 Smearing effect of FoG at linear regime P s (k,μ) = P gg + 2μ 2 P gg P ΘΘ + μ 4 P ΘΘ P s (k,μ) = [P gg + 2μ 2 P gg P ΘΘ + μ 4 P ΘΘ ]exp[-(kμσ v ) 2 ] YSS, Kayo 2010 New probe of dark energy / Y.-S. Song / ysong@kias.re.kr 14/30

15 Maximum likelihood method of decompostion As P s (k,μ) is given in polar coordinate, we can decompose P ΘΘ from measured spectra in each given bin μ using fitting formulation, χ i 2 = Σ p Σ q [P s ob (k i,μ p ) - P s th (k i,μ p )] Cov -1 pq(k i ) [P s ob (k i,μ q ) - P s th (k i,μ q )] where P s th (k i,μ p ) = P gg (k i ) + 2μ p2 P gg (k i )P ΘΘ (k i ) + μ p4 P ΘΘ (k i ). P s th (k i,μ) = [P gg (k i ) + 2μ p2 P gθ (k i ) + μ p4 P ΘΘ (k i )] exp[-(k i μ p σ v ) 2 ] Scoccimarro 2004 σ v is estimated from P ΘΘ (k i ) at all selected bins, e.g. k i =0.03, 0.05, 0.07, 0.09 h/mpc χ 2 = Σ i Σ p Σ q [P s ob (k i,μ p ) - P s th (k i,μ p )] Cov -1 pq(k i ) [P s ob (k i,μ q ) - P s th (k i,μ q )] YSS, Kayo 2010 New probe of dark energy / Y.-S.

16 Measured P ΘΘ from small volume simulation Fisher matrix (unfilled contours) Measurement (filled contours) True velocity is reproduced at k=0.03, 0.05, 0.07 h/mpc The measured errors are consistent with prediction using Fisher matrix analysis YSS, Kayo 2010 New probe of dark energy / Y.-S. Song / ysong@kias.re.kr 16/30

17 Strategy to cure non-linear contamination k = 0.09 h/mpc We exclude couple of bins contaminated by non-linear smearing effect YSS, Kayo 2010 New probe of dark energy / Y.-S. Song / ysong@kias.re.kr 17/30

18 Result of application cut-off strategy Fitting to all 5 μ bins Fitting to 3 μ bins Detectability can be extended up to k 0.1 h/mpc at the cost of weakened constraint. YSS, Kayo 2010 New probe of dark energy / Y.-S. Song / ysong@kias.re.kr 18/30

19 Non-perturbative contribution Two different approaches to formulate redshift distortion effect, 1) streaming model, 2) Kaiser effect, 1) streaming model: formulating FoG effect at smaller scale 2) Kaiser effect: formulating redshift distortion at large scale The limit of streaming model at linear regime was derived in Fisher 1995, and shows the agreement between both approaches. It is interesting to derive FoG effect on redshift distortion at linear regime using streaming model. We make the following assumption, coherent v z in Mpc/h unit << correlation length Then, Desjacques, Sheth 2009; YSS, et.al Prepared P s th (k i,μ) = [P gg (k i ) + 2μ p2 P gθ (k i ) + μ p4 P ΘΘ (k i )] exp[-(k i μ p σ v ) 2 ] New probe of dark energy / Y.-S. Song / ysong@kias.re.kr 19/30

20 Additional correction terms to close theory With the given FoG term, we complete the purturbative effect on the observed spectra where, P s th (k i,μ) = exp[-(k i μ p σ v ) 2 ] [P gg (k i ) + 2μ p2 P gθ (k i ) + μ p4 P ΘΘ (k i ) + A(k,μ) + B(k,μ)] A(k,μ) = kμ dp 3 p z /p 2 [B p (p,k-p,-k) - B p (p,k,-k-p)] B(k,μ) = (kμ) 2 dp 3 p z /p 2 F(p) F(k-p) where B p and F represent bi-spectra and power spectra of the combination of P gθ and P ΘΘ.

30 Conclusion Measurement of coherent motions will take key roles to understand dark energy and to test fundamental physics beyond standard models. We estimate theoretical errors to probe coherent motions from redshift distortions. Fisher matrix formalism for future survey is available. We test detectability of coherent motions using horizon size simulation, and show that we are able to decompose coherent motion power spectra at linear regime. Dark energy study prospect: we combine BAO and coherent motions coherently to enhance the dark energy constraint. Modified gravity test (beyond standard model): measurement of coherent motions is a clean probe of matter perturbation compensating metric perturbation measured by weak lensing.
