Modeling the large-scale redshift-space 3-point correlation function of galaxies

Abstract

We present a configuration-space model of the large-scale galaxy 3-point correlation function (3PCF) based on leading-order perturbation theory and including redshift space distortions (RSD). This model should be useful in extracting distance-scale information from the 3PCF via the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) method. We include the first redshift-space treatment of biasing by the baryon-dark matter relative velocity. Overall, on large scales the effect of RSD is primarily a renormalization of the 3PCF that is roughly independent of both physical scale and triangle opening angle; for our adopted ${\Omega }_{\mathrm{m}}$ and bias values, the rescaling is a factor of $\sim 1.8$. We also present an efficient scheme for computing 3PCF predictions from our model, important for allowing fast exploration of the space of cosmological parameters in future analyses.
