4 S ep 2 00 6 Gradient Pattern Analysis of Cosmic Structure Formation : Norm and Phase Statistics
This paper presents the preliminary results of the characterization of pattern evolution in the process of cosmic structure formation. We are applying on N-body cosmological simulations data the technique proposed by Rosa, Sharma & Valdivia (1999) and Ramos et al. (2000) to estimate the time behavior of asymmetries in the gradient field. The gradient pattern analysis is a well tested tool, used...
متن کاملCosmic Strings and Structure Formation
We discuss structure formation in cosmic string theories. Emphasis is laid on the properties of the peculiar velocity field, non–gaussian features and clusters of galaxies. It is found that the predicted peculiar velocity field is quiet (v < 150 km/s for L > 30h Mpc) for models with (Ω0h ≤ 0.2) which is in disagreement with the results from POTENT at large scales (> 30h Mpc), consistent, howeve...
متن کاملSimulating Cosmic Structure Formation
We describe cosmological simulation techniques and their application to studies of cosmic structure formation, with particular attention to recent hydrodynamic simulations of structure in the high redshift universe. Collisionless N-body simulations with Gaussian initial conditions produce a pattern of sheets, filaments, tunnels, and voids that resembles the observed large scale galaxy distribut...
متن کاملCosmic confusion and structure formation.
We present a re-analysis of the cosmic confusion hypothesis, elucidating the degree to which “confusion” can be expected to hold in a class of flat, adiabatic models. This allows us to devise a simple and accurate fitting function for the height of the first peak in the radiation power spectrum in a wide range of inflationary inspired models. The range preferred by current data is given, togeth...
متن کاملCosmic Structure Formation
This article reviews the prevailing paradigm for how galaxies and larger structures formed in the universe: gravitational instability. Basic observational facts are summarized to motivate the standard cosmological framework underlying most detailed investigations of structure formation. The observed universe approaches spatial uniformity on scales larger than about 1026 cm. On these scales grav...
