Modeling Galaxy Clustering by Color
read the original abstract
We extend the mass-halo formalism for analytically generating power spectra to allow for the different clustering behavior observed in galaxy sub-populations. Although applicable to other separations, we concentrate our methods on a simple separation by rest-frame color into ``red'' and ``blue'' sub-populations through modifications to the <N(M)> relations and halo distribution functions for each of the sub-populations. This sort of separation is within the capabilities of the current generations of simulations as well as galaxy surveys, suggesting a potentially powerful observational constraint for current and future simulations. In anticipation of this, we demonstrate the sensitivity of the resulting power spectra to the choice of model parameters.
