Relativistic cosmology and large-scale structure
General relativity marked the beginning of modern cosmology and it has been at the centre of many of the key developments in this field. In the present review, we discuss the general-relativistic dynamics and perturbations of the standard cosmological model, the Friedmann-Lemaitre universe, and how these can explain and predict the properties of the observable universe. Our aim is to provide an...
متن کاملFrom Finance to Cosmology: the Copula of Large-scale Structure
Any multivariate distribution can be uniquely decomposed into marginal (1-point) distributions, and a function called the copula, which contains all of the information on correlations between the distributions. The copula provides an important new methodology for analyzing the density field in large-scale structure. We derive the empirical 2-point copula for the evolved dark matter density fiel...
متن کاملSmith X - ray Cluster Large Scale Structure and Cosmology
We outline main arguments in favor of cosmological X-ray surveys of galaxy clusters. We summarize recent advances in our understanding of cluster physics. After a short review of past surveys, we present the scientific motivations of the XMM Large Scale Structure survey. We further illustrate how such a survey can help constrain the nature of the dark energy as well as cluster scaling law evolu...
متن کاملThe Galaxy Power Spectrum: Precision Cosmology from Large Scale Structure?
Published galaxy power spectra from the 2dFGRS and SDSS are not in good agreement. We revisit this issue by analyzing both the 2dFGRS and SDSS DR5 catalogues using essentially identical techniques. We confirm that the 2dFGRS exhibits relatively more large scale power than the SDSS, or, equivalently, SDSS has more small scale power. We demonstrate that this difference is due to the r-band select...
متن کاملCosmology with Galaxy Clusters in the XMM Large-Scale Structure Survey
The upcoming XMM Large Scale Structure Survey (XMM-LSS) will ultimately provide a unique mapping of the distribution of X-ray sources in a contiguous 64 deg region. In particular, it will provide the 3dimensional location of about 900 galaxy clusters out to a redshift of about 1. We study the prospects that this cluster catalogue offers for measuring cosmological parameters. We use the Press-Sc...
