A Universal Profile of the Dark Matter Halo and the Two-point Correlation Function
We have investigated the relation between the two-point spatial correlation function and the density profile of the dark matter halo in the strongly non-linear regime. It is well known that when the density fluctuation grows into dark matter halo whose density profile is ρ ∝ r−ǫ( 2 < ǫ < 3) on almost all mass scales, the two-point spatial correlation function obeys a power law with the power in...
متن کاملMining the Galactic Halo for Very Metal-Poor Stars
We study the age and metallicity distribution function (MDF) of metal-poor stars in the Milky Way halo as a function of galactocentric radius by combining N-body simulations and semi-analytical methods. We find that the oldest stars populate the innermost region, while extremely metal-poor stars are more concentrated within r < 60 kpc. We predict that the MDF of [Fe/H]≤ −2 stars varies only ver...
متن کاملTwo - Point Angular Correlation Function )
The Two Point Angular Correlation Function (TPACF) is a mathematical equation that has applications in many areas. In our project, the Two Point Angular Correlation Function is used as a way to measure the probability of finding an astronomical body at a given angular distance from another astronomical body. We were given working sequential code as a starting point. The sequential code took in ...
متن کاملA Kinematically Consistent Two-Point Correlation Function
A simple kinematically consistent expression for the longitudinal two-point correlation function related to both the integral length scale and the Taylor microscale is obtained. On the inner scale, in a region of width inversely proportional to the turbulent Reynolds number, the function has the appropriate curvature at the origin. The expression for two-point correlation is related to the nonl...
متن کاملHypervelocity Stars: From the Galactic Center to the Halo
Hypervelocity stars (HVS) traverse the Galaxy from the central black hole to the outer halo. We show that the Galactic potential within 200 pc acts as a high pass filter preventing low velocity HVS from reaching the halo. To trace the orbits of HVS throughout the Galaxy, we construct two forms of the potential which reasonably represent the observations in the range 5–10 pc, a simple sphericall...
