Galaxy Clustering in the Mira-Titan Universe I: Emulators for the redshift space galaxy correlation function and galaxy-galaxy lensing

Abstract

We construct accurate emulators for the projected and redshift space galaxy correlation functions and excess surface density as measured by galaxy-galaxy lensing, based on Halo Occupation Distribution (HOD) modeling. Using the complete Mira-Titan suite of 111 $N$-body simulations, our emulators vary over eight cosmological parameters and include the effects of neutrino mass and dynamical dark energy. We demonstrate that our emulators are sufficiently accurate for the analysis of the BOSS DR12 CMASS galaxy sample over the range 0.5 < r < 50 Mpc/h. Furthermore, we show that our emulators are capable of recovering unbiased cosmological constraints from realistic mock catalogs over the same range. Our mock catalog tests show the efficacy of combining small scale galaxy-galaxy lensing with redshift space clustering and that we can constrain the growth rate and σ_8 to 7% and 4.5% respectively for a CMASS-like sample using only the measurements covered by our emulator. With the inclusion of a CMB prior on H_0, this reduces to a 2% measurement on the growth rate.
