Construct the emission line galaxy-host halo connection through auto and cross correlations [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
We investigate the [O\textbackslash,II] emission line galaxy (ELG)-host halo connection via auto and cross correlations, and propose a concise and effective method to populate ELGs in dark matter halos without assuming a parameterized halo occupation distribution (HOD) model. Using the observational data from VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS), we measure the auto and cross correlation functions between ELGs selected by [O\textbackslash,II] luminosity and normal galaxies selected by stellar mass. Combining the stellar-halo mass relation (SHMR) derived for the normal galaxies and the fraction of ELGs observed in the normal galaxy population, we demonstrate that we can establish an accurate ELG-halo connection. With the ELG-halo connection, we can accurately reproduce the auto and cross correlation functions of ELGs and normal galaxies both in real-space and in redshift-space, once the satellite fraction is properly reduced. Our method provides a novel strategy to generate ELG mock catalogs for ongoing and upcoming galaxy redshift surveys. We also provide a simple description for the HOD of ELGs.
