The DESI One-Percent Survey: Exploring A Generalized SHAM for Multiple Tracers with the UNIT Simulation
Abstract
We perform SubHalo Abundance Matching (SHAM) studies on UNIT simulations with \σ, V ceil, v smear\-SHAM and \σ, V ceil,f sat\-SHAM. They are designed to reproduce the clustering on 5--30\, of Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs), Emission Line Galaxies (ELGs) and Quasi-Stellar Objects (QSOs) at 0.4<z<3.5 from DESI One Percent Survey. V ceil is the incompleteness of the massive host (sub)haloes and is the key to the generalized SHAM. v smear models the clustering effect of redshift uncertainties, providing measurments consistent with those from repeat observations. A free satellite fraction f sat is necessary to reproduce the clustering of ELGs. We find ELGs present a more complex galaxy--halo mass relation than LRGs reflected in their weak constraints on σ. LRGs, QSOs and ELGs show increasing V ceil values, corresponding to the massive galaxy incompleteness of LRGs, the quenched star formation of ELGs and the quenched black hole accretion of QSOs. For LRGs, a Gaussian v smear presents a better profile for sub-samples at redshift bins than a Lorentzian profile used for other tracers. The impact of the statistical redshift uncertainty on ELG clustering is negligible. The best-fitting satellite fraction for DESI ELGs is around 4 per cent, lower than previous estimations for ELGs. The mean halo mass log10( M vir) in for LRGs, ELGs and QSOs are 13.160.01, 11.900.06 and 12.660.45 respectively. Our generalized SHAM algorithms facilitate the production of mult-tracer galaxy mocks for cosmological tests.
