Galaxy Biasing: Nonlinear, Stochastic and Measurable
Sep, 1998Citations per year
Abstract: (arXiv)
I describe a general formalism for galaxy biasing (Dekel & Lahav 1998) and its application to measurements of beta (=Omega^0.6/b), e.g. via direct comparisons of light and mass and via redshift distortions. The linear and deterministic relation g=b*d between the density fluctuation fields of galaxies g and mass d is replaced by the conditional distribution P(g|d) of these as random fields, smoothed at a given scale and at a given time. The mean biasing and its nonlinearity are characterized by the conditional mean References(59)
