摘要
We extend the mass-halo formalism for analytically generating power spectra to allow for the different clustering behaviour observed in galaxy subpopulations. Although applicable to other separations, we concentrate our methods on a simple separation by rest-frame colour into 'red' and 'blue' subpopulations through modifications to the <N>(M) relations and halo distribution functions for each of the subpopulations. 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.
