TLDR
In this article, an extended halo occupation distribution model (HOD) is proposed that includes both a concentration-based assembly bias term and an environment-based bias term, and it achieves a good fit (chi 2/DoF = 1.35) on the 2D redshift-space 2-point correlation function (2PCF) of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) CMASS galaxy sample.Abstract:
Building accurate and flexible galaxy-halo connection models is crucial in modeling galaxy clustering on non-linear scales. Recent studies have found that halo concentration by itself cannot capture the full galaxy assembly bias effect and that the local environment of the halo can be an excellent indicator of galaxy assembly bias. In this paper, we propose an extended halo occupation distribution model (HOD) that includes both a concentration-based assembly bias term and an environment-based assembly bias term. We use this model to achieve a good fit (chi^2/DoF = 1.35) on the 2D redshift-space 2-point correlation function (2PCF) of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) CMASS galaxy sample. We find that the inclusion of both assembly bias terms is strongly favored by the data and the standard 5-parameter HOD is strongly rejected. More interestingly, the redshift-space 2PCF drives the assembly bias parameters in a way that preferentially assigns galaxies to lower mass halos. This results in galaxy-galaxy lensing predictions that are within 1sigma agreement with the observation, alleviating the perceived tension between galaxy clustering and lensing. We also showcase a consistent 3-5sigma preference for a positive environment-based assembly bias that persists over variations in the fit. We speculate that the environmental dependence might be driven by underlying processes such as mergers and feedback, but might also be indicative of a larger halo boundaries such as the splashback radius. Regardless, this work highlights the importance of building flexible galaxy-halo connection models and demonstrates the extra constraining power of the redshift-space 2PCF.read more

Dark Energy Survey Year 3 results: Cosmological constraints from galaxy clustering and weak lensing
TL;DR: The first cosmology results from large-scale structure in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) spanning 5000 deg$^2 were presented in this paper , where the authors performed an analysis combining three two-point correlation functions (3$\times$2pt): (i) cosmic shear using 100 million source galaxies, (ii) galaxy clustering, and (iii) cross-correlation of source galaxy shear with lens galaxy positions.

Does the galaxy–halo connection vary with environment?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that SHAM fails to reproduce the correct dependence between environmental density and g-r color for all galaxies and central galaxies, although it better reproduces the color dependence on environmental density of satellite galaxies.
