Modeling the dependence of galaxy clustering on stellar mass and SEDs Lan Wang Collaborators: Guinevere Kauffmann (MPA) Cheng Li (MPA/SHAO, USTC) Gabriella De Lucia (MPA)
2
Outline Introduction : theory of galaxy formation New parameterized models: Modeling galaxy clustering in a high- resolution simulation of structure formation Modeling the dependence of clustering on spectra energy distributions of galaxies
3
Galaxy formation Galaxy formation includes two steps: e.g. White & Rees 1978 Dark matter haloes form through gravitational collapse Galaxies form in dark matter halos by cooling of baryonic material — physical processes : gas cooling, star formation, SN feedback, AGN feedback, mergers etc.
4
Properties of dark matter haloes Cold dark matter cosmology: structures grow hierarchically Dark matter halos : Abundance Press & Schechter 1974 Merger tree Density profile (NFW) Navarro, Frenk & White 1996,1997
5
Link galaxy properties to DM halos Hydrodynamic Simulation e.g. White, Hernquist & Springel 2001 Semi-analytic models Kauffmann et al. 1999 Halo Occupation Distribution models (HOD) Berlind & Weinberg 2002 Yang, Mo & van den Bosch 2003

SAM HOD
7
Our Methodology Falls in between semi-analytic method & HOD approach: Positions, velocities and formation history from simulation Parameterized functions to determine galaxy properties Based on Millennium Simulation
8
M infall - halo mass at infall time t infall ‘Orphan’ galaxies – satellites without subhalos vs. HOD: halo mass of today Two steps M infall →M stars t form, t infall →SFH →D n 4000

The Millennium Simulation Springel et al. 2005
11
M stars vs. M infall in semi-analytic catalogue Croton et al. 2006
12
Statistics reproduced vs. semi-analytic results Stellar mass Function Correlation
13
Central, satellite & ‘orphan’ L & M infall Luminosity Function
14
‘orphan’ galaxies Critical for correlation at small scales
15
Fit stellar mass function & clustering for different stellar mass bins Application to SDSS Separate relations for central/satellite give better fit
16
Fitted relations Mandelbaum et al. 2006 Satellites are less massive than centrals
17
SDSS observation
18
central young & satellite old? SAM including AGN feedback e.g. Croton et al. 2006; Bower et al. 2006

20
Bruzual & Charlot 2003 model Concentrate on D n 4000 because of its weak dependence on dust

M infall M stars metallicity Gallazzi et al. 2005 t form, t infall, SFH metallicity SFH BC03 Clustering dependence on SEDs D n 4000 + M stars positions
22
Non-parametric fit For central galaxies, is parameterized by a sum of Gaussians: For satellite galaxies, assume simple Gaussian dispersion for
23
Best-fit: Constant SFR: 0
24
Main results Massive centrals have ceased forming stars At low stellar masses, central galaxies display a wide range of different SFH, with a significant fraction experiencing recent star bursts. Time scale for satellite galaxies is almost independent of stellar mass
25
Consistency checks Specific SFR: our model vs. SDSS results g-r distributions
26
SFH: compared with SAM (De Lucia & Blaizot 2006) e-folding time scale for satellites our model: ~2-2.5 Gyr SAM: ~1Gyr

Evolution to higher redshifts D n 4000 – local density relation VVDS & DEEP2 Cucciati et al. 2006 Cooper et al. 2006 redshifts: 0 0.3 0.8 1.5 2 3
28
Conclusions A new statistical model of galaxy clustering Double power-law form for M stars ~ M infall relation Applied to SDSS: For a given M infall, satellites are less luminous and less massive than centrals Clustering dependence on SEDs reproduced Massive central galaxies have ceased forming stars; At low stellar masses, a significant fraction of central galaxies have recent starbursts Satellite galaxies of all masses have declining SFR, with
