Correlation Function in Deep Redshift Space as a Cosmological Probe

Abstract

Recent development of galaxy surveys enables us to investigate the deep universe of high redshift. We quantitatively present the physical information extractable from the observable correlation function in deep redshift space in a framework of the linear theory. The correlation function depends on the underlying power spectrum, velocity distortions, and the Alcock-Paczyński (AP) effect. The underlying power spectrum is sensitive to the constituents of matters in the universe, the velocity distortions are sensitive to the galaxy bias as well as the amount of total matter, and the Alcock-Paczyński effect is sensitive to the dark energy components. Measuring the dark energy by means of the baryonic feature in the correlation function is one of the most interesting applications. We show that the ``baryon ridge'' in the correlation function serves as a statistically circular object in the AP effect. In order to sufficiently constrain the dark energy components, the redshift range of the galaxy survey should be as broad as possible. The survey area on the sky should be smaller at deep redshifts than at shallow redshifts to keep the number density as dense as possible. We illustrate an optimal survey design that are useful in cosmology. Assuming future redshift surveys of $z\simlt 3$ which are within reach of the present-day technology, achievable error bounds on cosmological parameters are estimated by calculating the Fisher matrix. According to an illustrated design, the equation of state of dark energy can be constrained within $\pm 5$ error assuming that the bias is unknown and marginalized over. Even when all the other cosmological parameters should be simultaneously determined, the error bound for the equation of state is up to $\pm 10$.
