Weak Gravitational Lensing by Voids
We consider the prospects for detecting weak gravitational lensing by underdensities (voids) in the large-scale matter distribution. We derive the basic expressions for magnification and distortion by spherical voids. Clustering of the background sources and cosmic variance are the main factors which limit in principle the detection of lensing by voids. We conclude that only voids with radii la...
متن کاملAlignment of Voids in the Cosmic Web
We investigate the shapes and mutual alignment of voids in the large scale matter distribution of a ΛCDM cosmology simulation. The voids are identified using the novel WVF void finder technique. The identified voids are quite nonspherical and slightly prolate, with axis ratios in the order of c : b : a ≈ 0.5 : 0.7 : 1. Their orientations are strongly correlated with significant alignments spann...
متن کاملGeometry and scaling of cosmic voids
Context. Cosmic voids are observed in the distribution of galaxies and, to some extent, in the dark matter distribution. If these distributions have fractal geometry, it must be reflected in the geometry of voids; in particular, we expect scaling sizes of voids. However, this scaling is not well demonstrated in galaxy surveys yet. Aims. Our objective is to understand the geometry of cosmic void...
متن کاملVoids and the Cosmic Web: cosmic depression & spatial complexity
Voids form a prominent aspect of the Megaparsec distribution of galaxies and matter. Not only do they represent a key constituent of the Cosmic Web, they also are one of the cleanest probes and measures of global cosmological parameters. The shape and evolution of voids are highly sensitive to the nature of dark energy, while their substructure and galaxy population provides a direct key to the...
متن کاملThe Euclidean Gravitational Action as Black Hole Entropy, Singularities and Spacetime Voids
We argue why the static spherically symmetric (SSS) vacuum solutions of Einstein’s equations described by the textbook Hilbert metric gμν(r) is not diffeomorphic to the metric gμν(|r|) corresponding to the gravitational field of a point mass delta function source at r = 0. By choosing a judicious radial function R(r) = r + 2G|M |Θ(r) involving the Heaviside step function, one has the correct bo...
