The power spectrum in redshift space shows a damping on small scales that is qualitatively similar to that of the well-known Fingers-of-God (FoG) effect due to random velocities, except that the log-normal mock does not include random velocities. That is, non-linear redshift-space distortion is dominated by non-linearity in the Jacobian. We also find that linearising the Jacobian of the real-to-redshift space mapping provides a poor model for the two-point statistics in redshift space. We find that a linear bias relation in the power spectrum does not guarantee a linear bias relation in the density contrasts, leading to a cross-correlation coefficient of matter and galaxies deviating from unity on small scales. We check fidelity of the catalog, showing that the measured two-point correlation function and power spectrum in real space agree with the input precisely.

This procedure yields a PDF of the pairwise velocity fields that is qualitatively similar to that of N-body simulations. We draw galaxies by Poisson-sampling the log-normal field, and calculate the velocity field from the linearised continuity equation of matter fields, assuming zero vorticity.
