Galaxy & Cluster Biasing from Local Group Dynamics
Comparing the gravitational acceleration induced on the Local Group of galaxies by different tracers of the underline density field we estimate, within the linear gravitational instability theory and the linear biasing ansatz, their relative bias factors. Using optical SSRS2 galaxies, IRAS (PSCz) galaxies and Abell/ACO clusters, we find bO,I ≈ 1.21 ± 0.06 and bC,I ≈ 4.3 ± 0.8, in agreement with...
متن کاملPulsating red giant and supergiant stars in the Local Group dwarf galaxy Andromeda I
We have conducted an optical long-term monitoring survey of the majority of dwarf galaxies in the Local Group, with the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT), to identify the long period variable (LPV) stars. LPV stars vary on timescales of months to years, and reach the largest amplitudes of their brightness variations at optical wavelengths, due to the changing temperature. They trace stellar populati...
متن کاملStochastic Nonlinear Galaxy Biasing
We propose a general formalism for galaxy biasing and apply it to methods for measuring cosmological parameters, such as regression of light versus mass, the analysis of redshift distortions, measures involving skewness and the cosmic virial theorem. The common linear and deterministic relation g=bδ between the density fluctuation fields of galaxies g and mass δ is replaced by the conditional d...
متن کاملBiasing in the Galaxy Distribution
We investigate the variation of galaxy clustering with luminosity using the recently completed SSRS2 sample. Clustering measurements based on the two-point correlation function and the variance of counts in cells reveal a strong dependence of clustering on luminosity for galaxies brighter than L∗, while no significant variation is detected for fainter galaxies. We derive a relative bias versus ...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Substructure in Galaxy, Group and Cluster Haloes I: Basic Dynamics
The hierarchical mergers that form the haloes of dark matter surrounding galaxies, groups and clusters are not entirely efficient, leaving substantial amounts of dense substructure, in the form of stripped halo cores or ‘subhaloes’, orbiting within these systems. Using a semi-analytic model of satellite dynamics, we study the evolution of haloes as they merge hierarchically, to determine how mu...
