Steps toward the power spectrum of matter. II. The biasing correction with sigma_8 normalization

Abstract

A new method to determine the bias parameter of galaxies relative to matter is suggested. The method is based on the assumption that gravity is the dominating force which determines the formation of the structure in the Universe. Due to gravitational instability the galaxy formation is a threshold process: in low-density environments galaxies do not form and matter remains in primordial form. We investigate the influence of the presence of void and clustered populations to the power spectrum of matter and galaxies. The power spectrum of galaxies is similar to the power spectrum of matter; the fraction of total matter in the clustered population determines the difference between amplitudes of fluctuations of matter and galaxies, i.e. the bias factor. To determine the fraction of matter in voids and clustered population we perform numerical simulations. The fraction of matter in galaxies at the present epoch is found using a calibration through the sigma_8 parameter.
