The DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey: Clustering of Groups and Group Galaxies at z~1

Abstract

We study the clustering properties of groups and of galaxies in groups in the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey dataset at z~1. Four clustering measures are presented: 1) the group correlation function for 460 groups with estimated velocity dispersions of sigma>200 km/s, 2) the galaxy correlation for the full galaxy sample, using a flux-limited sample of 9800 objects between 0.7<z<1.0, 3) the galaxy correlation for galaxies in groups, and 4) the group-galaxy cross-correlation function. Using the observed number density and clustering amplitude of the groups, the estimated minimum group dark matter halo mass is M_min~6 10^12 h^-1 M_Sun for a flat LCDM cosmology. Groups are more clustered than galaxies, with a relative bias of b=1.7 +/-0.04 on scales r_p=0.5-15 Mpc/h. Galaxies in groups are also more clustered than the full galaxy sample, with a scale-dependent relative bias which falls from b~2.5 +/-0.3 at r_p=0.1 Mpc/h to b~1 +/-0.5 at r_p=10 Mpc/h. The correlation functions for all galaxies and galaxies in groups can be fit by a power-law on scales r_p=0.05-20 Mpc/h. We empirically measure the contribution to the projected correlation function for galaxies in groups from a `one-halo' term and a `two-halo' term by counting pairs of galaxies in the same or in different groups. The projected cross-correlation between shows that red galaxies are more centrally concentrated in groups than blue galaxies at z~1. DEEP2 galaxies in groups appear to have a shallower radial distribution than that of mock galaxy catalogs made from N-body simulations, which assume a central galaxy surrounded by satellite galaxies with an NFW profile. We show that the clustering of galaxies in groups can be used to place tighter constraints on the halo model than can be gained from using the usual galaxy correlation function alone.
