Transition from Clumpy to Smooth Angular Diameter Distances
Distance relations in a locally inhomogeneous universe are expected to behave like the Dyer-Roeder solution on small angular scales and the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker solution on large angular scales. Within a simple compact clump model the transition between these asymptotic behaviors is demonstrated and quantified. The redshift dependent transition scale is of order a few arcseconds; this imp...
متن کاملAngular Diameter Distances in Clumpy Friedmann Universes
Solving null-geodesic equations, behavior of angular diameter distances is studied in inhomogeneous cosmological models, which are given by performing N-body simulations with the CDM spectrum. The distances depend on the separation angle θ of ray pairs, the mass m and the radius rs of particles consisting of galaxies and dark matter balls, and cosmological model parameters. The calculated dista...
متن کاملMeasuring Angular Diameter Distances through Halo Clustering
Current and upcoming wide-field surveys for weak gravitational lensing and the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect will generate mass-selected catalogs of dark matter halos with internal or follow-up photometric redshift information. Using the shape of the linear power spectrum as a standard ruler that is calibrated by cosmic microwave background measurements, we find that a survey of 4000 deg and a mass ...
متن کاملSmooth maps from clumpy data
Abstract. We study an estimator for smoothing irregularly sampled data into a smooth map. The estimator has been widely used in astronomy, owing to its low level of noise; it involves a weight function – or smoothing kernel – w(θ). We show that this estimator is not unbiased, in the sense that the expectation value of the smoothed map is not the underlying process convolved with w, but a convol...
متن کاملSmooth maps from clumpy data: generalizations
In a series of papers (??) we studied in detail the statistical properties of an interpolation technique widely used in astronomy. In particular, we considered the average interpolated map and its covariance under the hypotheses that the map is obtained by smoothing unbiased measurements of an unknown field, and that the measurements are uniformly distributed on the sky. In this paper we genera...
