From the Cosmological Microwave Background to Large-Scale Structure
The shape of the primordial fluctuation spectrum is probed by cosmic microwave background fluctuations which measure density fluctuations at z ∼ 1000 on scales of hundreds of Mpc and from galaxy redshift surveys, which measure structure at low redshift out to several hundred Mpc. The currently acceptable library of cosmological models is inadequate to account for the current data, and more exot...
متن کاملFractal Holography: a geometric re-interpretation of cosmological large scale structure
The fractal dimension of large-scale galaxy clustering has been reported to be roughly DF ∼ 2 from a wide range of redshift surveys. If correct, this statistic is of interest for two main reasons: fractal scaling is an implicit representation of information content, and also the value itself is a geometric signature of area. It is proposed that a fractal distribution of galaxies may thus be int...
متن کاملCalibration errors unleashed: effects on cosmological parameters and requirements for large-scale structure surveys
Imperfect photometric calibration of galaxy surveys due to either astrophysical or instrumental effects leads to biases in measuring galaxy clustering and in the resulting cosmological parameter measurements. More interestingly (and disturbingly), the spatially varying calibration also generically leads to violations of statistical isotropy of the galaxy clustering signal. Here we develop, for ...
متن کاملCosmological Structure Formation Creates Large-scale Magnetic Fields
This paper examines the generation of seed magnetic fields due to the growth of cosmological perturbations. In the radiation era, different rates of scattering from photons induce local differences in the ion and electron density and velocity fields. The currents due to the relative motion of these fluids generate magnetic fields on all cosmological scales, peaking at a magnitude of O(10 G) at ...
متن کاملRobustness of Cosmological Simulations I: Large Scale Structure
The gravitationally-driven evolution of cold dark matter dominates the formation of structure in the Universe over a wide range of length scales. While the longest scales can be treated by perturbation theory, a fully quantitative understanding of nonlinear effects requires the application of large-scale particle simulation methods. Additionally, precision predictions for next-generation observ...
