Mock Catalogs for the DEEP2 redshift survey

Abstract

We present a set of mock redshift catalogs, constructed from N-body simulations, designed to mimic the DEEP2 survey. Galaxies with a range of luminosities are placed within virialized halos in the simulation using a variant of the halo model. The halo model parameters are chosen to reproduce local clustering and abundance data and assumed to be independent of redshift. This allows us to predict the luminosity function, two-point correlation function, luminosity- and scale-dependent bias, redshift space distortions etc. of our galaxies at higher redshifts. We show that the low order clustering properties are consistent with preliminary DEEP2 data. The catalogs can be used to evaluate the selection effects of the survey and to test new algorithms and statistics that are to be used in the analysis of DEEP2 data.
