Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerical simulations play an important role in current astronomy researches. Previous dark-matter-only simulations have represented the large-scale structure of the Universe. However, nowadays, hydro-dynamical simulations with baryonic models, which can directly present realistic galaxies, may twist these results from dark-matter-only simulations. In this chapter, we mainly focus on these three statistical methods: power spectrum, two-point correlation function and halo mass function, which are normally used to characterize the large-scale structure of the Universe. We review how these baryon processes influence the cosmology structures from very large scale to quasi-linear and non-linear scales by comparing dark-matter-only simulations with their hydro-dynamical counterparts. At last, we make a brief discussion on the impacts coming from different baryon models and simulation codes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern cosmology has been turned into an outstanding field of active research through the years. Today, we have more scientific data in modern cosmology than we could get rid of it, which makes the present days an exciting era for scientific knowledge. "Trends in Modern Cosmology" invites the reader to tackle the big questions of the universe from cultural aspects of cosmology and its influence on arts, philosophy, and politics to more specialized technical advances in the field as the physics of dark sector, black holes, galaxies, large structure formation, and particles. In fact, it reveals our endless searching for the better understanding of the universe as a legacy of knowledge for next generations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances made by physicists in understanding matter, space, and time and by astronomers in understanding the universe as a whole have closely intertwined the question being asked about the universe at its two extremesâ€"the very large and the very small. This report identifies 11 key questions that have a good chance to be answered in the next decade. It urges that a new research strategy be created that brings to bear the techniques of both astronomy and sub-atomic physics in a cross-disciplinary way to address these questions. The report presents seven recommendations to facilitate the necessary research and development coordination. These recommendations identify key priorities for future scientific projects critical for realizing these scientific opportunities.

Download or read book The Physics of the Early Universe written by Eleftherios Papantonopoulos and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-01-07 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Physics of the Early Universe is an edited and expanded version of the lectures given at a recent summer school of the same name. Its aim is to present an advanced multi-authored textbook that meets the needs of both postgraduate students and young researchers interested in, or already working on, problems in cosmology and general relativity, with emphasis on the early universe. A particularly strong feature of the present work is the constructive-critical approach to the present mainstream theories, the careful assessment of some alternative approaches, and the overall balance between theoretical and observational considerations. As such, this book will also benefit experienced scientists and nonspecialists from related areas of research.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volwne is the proceedings of the third school in particle astrophysics that Schramm and Galeotti have organized at Erice. The focus of thirs third school was the Generation of Cosmological Large-Scale Structure. It was held in November of 1996. The fIrst school in the series was on "Gauge Theory and the Early Universe" in May 1986, the second was on "Dark Matter in the Universe" in May 1988. All three schools have been successful under the auspices of the NATO Advanced Study Institute. This volume is thus the third in the series of the proceedings of these schools. The choice of the topic for this third school was natural, since the problem of generating a large-scale structure has become the most pressing problem in cosmology today. In particular, it is this generation of structure that is the interface between astronomical observations and particle models for the early universe. To date, all models for generating structures inevitably require new fundamental physics beyond the standard, SU x SU X U , model of high energy physics. The 3 2 I seeds for generating structures usually invoke unifIcation physics, and the matter needed to clump and form them seems to require particle properties that have not been seen in laboratories to date.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: In standard cosmology, both the dark matter and baryons are important constituents of the universe. Although in the perspective of observation, dark matter and baryons are distinct, they are tightly correlated physically. This gives us a motivation to interpret the observations by considering them together and investigating their interactions. In this dissertation, I investigate the transverse proximity effect in lya transmitted flux, the baryon fraction and stellar mass-to-light ratio in early-type galaxies, and the relation between dark matter halos and optical observables of galaxy clusters. The proximity effect is the observed reduction in absorption by HI in the lya forest in the proximity of QSOs. This effect was explained as the excess ionization from QSO and used to investigate the background QSO emission intensity. However, in some of the observations, there is only very weak or no proximity effect observed at all. This might arise from the QSOs residing in higher density regions. In this chapter, I investigate the effect of enhanced density close to QSOs with synthetic spectra from smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations at redshifts z=2, z=3, and z=4.

Download or read book Physical Foundations of Cosmology written by Viatcheslav Mukhanov and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-11-10 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inflationary cosmology has been developed over the last twenty years to remedy serious shortcomings in the standard hot big bang model of the universe. This textbook, first published in 2005, explains the basis of modern cosmology and shows where the theoretical results come from. The book is divided into two parts; the first deals with the homogeneous and isotropic model of the Universe, the second part discusses how inhomogeneities can explain its structure. Established material such as the inflation and quantum cosmological perturbation are presented in great detail, however the reader is brought to the frontiers of current cosmological research by the discussion of more speculative ideas. An ideal textbook for both advanced students of physics and astrophysics, all of the necessary background material is included in every chapter and no prior knowledge of general relativity and quantum field theory is assumed.
Download or read book Baryon Acoustic Oscillations in the Large Scale Structures of the Universe as Seen by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey written by Julian Ernesto Bautista and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis describes the measurement of the baryon acoustic oscillations using Lyman-alpha forests and galaxies and its cosmological interprétation. From 2011 to 2014, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III telescope observed spectra of -- 1.3 million galaxies and ∽ 150 000 quasars in the context of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). This project aimed the most accurate BAO measurement in the large scale distribution of matter. We describe the data analysis, the cosmological interprétation and tests using mock data. We present a new method to generate mock data, that was used to study systematic effects potentially affecting our measurement. No evidence for a systematic bias comming from these tests could be found. Using data available in 2014, the BAO peak is measured at 3% precision in the radial direction and 5% in the transverse direction, at z = 2.34. We compare our results with previous measurements, in particular those from the Planck satellite, and we find an agreement at 1.8ơ level.
