The extended Zel'dovich mass functions of clusters and isolated clusters in the presence of primordial non-gaussianity
We present new formulae for the mass functions of the clusters and the isolated clusters with non-Gaussian initial conditions. For this study, we adopt the extended Zel'dovich (EZL) model as a basic framework, focusing on the case of primordial non-Gaussianity of the local type whose degree is quantified by a single parameter, f {sub nl}. By making a quantitative comparison with the N-body results, we first demonstrate that the EZL formula with the constant values of three fitting parameters still works remarkably well for the local f {sub nl} case. We also modify the EZL formula to find an analytic expression for the mass function of isolated clusters, which turns out to have only one fitting parameter other than the overall normalization factor and showed that the modified EZL formula with a constant value of the fitting parameter matches excellently the N-body results with various values of f {sub nl} at various redshifts. Given the simplicity of the generalized EZL formulae and their good agreements with the numerical results, we finally conclude that the EZL mass functions of the massive clusters and isolated clusters should be useful as an analytic guideline to constrain the scale dependence of the primordial non-Gaussianity of the local type.
