2. outline Peculiar velocity decomposition which facilitate RSD modeling Window function Higher order correction Rigorous FOG effect Peculiar velocity reconstruction Determination of large scale volume weighted halo velocity bias in simulations Key point ----- we could measure volume weighted velocity field accurately from simulaitons ： For 1200Mpc, 1024^3 simulation, convergence test, accurate until k~0.3h/Mpc For halos, we correct the sampling artifact at 1% accuracy until k~0.1h/Mpc Future work: k\mu dependence of residual redshift space power spectrum MG halo velocity bias?

7. Velocity bias: potential systematic error 7 A first order systematic error in cosmology – Have to understand the velocity bias to 1% level accuracy at k~0.1h/Mpc. THCA, 2014.10.9 From PJ’s PPT

8. 8 Peculiar velocity cosmology by default assumes no velocity bias at large scale: Environmental effect: halos/galaxies locate at special regions around density peaks. Proto-halos/linearly evolved density peaks (BBKS 1986; Desjacques & Sheth 2010) have velocity bias What would be the velocity bias of halos in simulations? THCA, 2014.10.9 From PJ’s PPT

9. Severe sampling artifact can be misinterpreted as a “velocity bias” 9 Naive comparison between the raw measurements of halo velocity and DM velocity gives a apparent b v <1 Illusion caused by the sampling artifact Unphysical numerical effect. But can be misinterpreted as a “velocity bias” Zheng, ZPJ, Jing, 2014b DM Halo THCA, 2014.10.9 Yipeng’s P 3 M simulation: 1200 Mpc/h, 1024 3 particles From PJ’s PPT
