Understanding the non-linear clustering of high redshift galaxies

Abstract

We incorporate the non-linear clustering of dark matter halos, as modelled by Jose et al. (2016) into the halo model to better understand the clustering of Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) in the redshift range $z=3-5$. We find that, with this change, the predicted LBG clustering increases significantly on quasi-linear scales ($0.1\le r/h^{-1}\mathrm{Mpc}\le 10$) compared to that in the linear halo bias model. This in turn results in an increase in the clustering of LBGs by an order of magnitude on angular scales $5"\le \theta \le 100"$. Remarkably, the predictions of our new model on the whole remove the systematic discrepancy between the linear halo bias predictions and the observations. The correlation length and large scale galaxy bias of LBGs are found to be significantly higher in the non-linear halo bias model than in the linear halo bias model. The resulting two-point correlation function retains an approximate power-law form in contrast with that computed using the linear halo bias theory. We also find that the non-linear clustering of LBGs increases with increasing luminosity and redshift. Our work emphasizes the importance of using non-linear halo bias in order to model the clustering of high-z galaxies to probe the physics of galaxy formation and extract cosmological parameters reliably.
