Phenomenological power spectrum models for H$\alpha$ emission line galaxies from the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope

Abstract

The High Latitude Spectroscopic Survey (HLSS) is the reference baseline spectroscopic survey for NASA's Nancy Grace Roman space telescope, measuring redshifts of $\sim 10$M H$\alpha$ emission line galaxies over a $2000$ deg${}^2$ footprint at $z=1-2$. In this work, we use a realistic Roman galaxy mock catalogue to explore optimal phenomenological modeling of the measured power spectrum. We consider two methods for modeling the redshift-space distortions (Kaiser squashing and another with a window function on $\beta$ that selects out the coherent radial infall pairwise velocities, $M_A$ and $M_B$, respectively), two models for the nonlinear impact of baryons that smears the BAO signal (a fixed ratio between the smearing scales in the perpendicular and parallel dimensions and another where these smearing scales are kept as a free parameters, P${}_{dw}(k|k_{\ast })$ and P${}_{dw}(k|{\Sigma }_{\perp },{\Sigma }_{\parallel })$, respectively), and two analytical emulations of nonlinear growth (one employing the halo model and another formulated from simulated galaxy clustering of a semi-analytical model, $F_{HM}$ and $F_{SAM}$, respectively). We find that the best model combination employing $F_{HM}$ is $P_{dw}(k|k_{\ast })\ast F_{HM}\ast M_B$, while the best combination employing $F_{SAM}$ is $P_{dw}(k|k_{\ast })\ast F_{SAM}\ast M_B$, which leads to unbiased measurements of cosmological parameters. We compare these to the Effective Field Theory of Large-Scale Structure perturbation theory model $P_{EFT}(k|\Theta )$, and find that our simple phenomenological models are comparable across the entire redshift range for $k_{max}=0.25$ and $0.3$ $h$/Mpc. We expect the tools that we have developed to be useful in probing dark energy and testing gravity using Roman in an accurate and robust manner.
