Quasars and large scale structure of the universe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The majority of bright distant quasars $(z {}^{>}_{\sim} 1)$ may form in massive mergers appearing in compact galaxy groups in/and young clusters. The expected tests are (i) large correlation signal for medium-$z$ QSOs $(1 < z < 2)$ and (ii) direct search for quasar groups (QGs) indicating positions of distant pre-superclusters which later ...

Observed Evidence for the Primordial Origin of Galaxy Sizes

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present observational evidence supporting the scenario that the protogalactic angular momenta play an important role in molding the optical sizes of present galaxies. Analyzing the NASA-Sloan Atlas catalog in the redshift range of 0.02 ≤ z

The Aemulus Project. V. Cosmological Constraint from Small-scale Clustering of BOSS Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We analyze clustering measurements of BOSS galaxies using a simulation-based emulator of two-point statistics. We focus on the monopole and quadrupole of the redshift-space correlation function, and the projected correlation function, at scales of 0.1 ...

Systematic Effects on the Genus Topology of Large Scale Structure of the Universe

open access: yes, 2014
Large-scale structure of the universe is a useful cosmological probe of the primordial non-Gaussianity and the expansion history of the universe because its topology does not change with time in the linear regime in the standard paradigm of structure ...

A New Wavelet Scattering Transform-based Statistic for Cosmological Analysis of Large-scale Structure

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Large-scale structure (LSS) analysis in galaxy surveys is a powerful cosmological probe but is limited by tracer bias, which can obscure underlying information and weaken parameter constraints.

Fuzzy Dark Matter as a Solution to Reconcile the Stellar Mass Density of High-z Massive Galaxies and Reionization History

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The JWST early release data show unexpected high stellar mass densities of massive galaxies at 7 < z < 11. A high star formation efficiency is probably needed to explain this.

Effects of Massive Neutrinos on the Large-Scale Structure of the Universe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Cosmological neutrinos strongly affect the evolution of the largest structures in the Universe, i.e. galaxies and galaxy clusters. We use large box-size full hydrodynamic simulations to investigate the non-linear effects that massive neutrinos have on ...

Large-Scale Structure of the Universe and Cosmological Perturbation Theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We review the formalism and applications of non-linear perturbation theory (PT) to understanding the large-scale structure of the Universe. We first discuss the dynamics of gravitational instability, from the linear to the non-linear regime.

Mapping the Large-Scale Structure of the Universe

open access: yesScience, 2005
In a large scale view of the universe, galaxies are the basic unit of structure. A typical bright galaxy may contain 100 billion stars and span tens of thousands of light years, but the empty expanses between the galaxies are much larger still. Galaxies are not randomly distributed in space, but instead reside in groups and clusters, which are ...

Cross Correlation between the Thermal Sunyaev–Zeldovich Effect and the Integrated Sachs–Wolfe Effect

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
We present a joint cosmological analysis of the power spectra measurement of the Planck Compton parameter and the integrated Sachs–Wolfe (ISW) maps. We detect the statistical correlation between the Planck thermal Sunyaev–Zeldovich (tSZ) map and ISW data
