Cosmological Constraints from Galaxy Cluster Velocity Statistics
Future microwave sky surveys will have the sensitivity to detect the kinematic Sunyaev-Zeldovich signal from moving galaxy clusters, thus providing a direct measurement of their line-of-sight peculiar velocity. We show that cluster peculiar velocity statistics applied to foreseeable surveys will put significant constraints on fundamental cosmological parameters. We consider three statistical qu...
متن کاملConstraints on the fluctuation amplitude and density parameter from X-ray cluster number counts
We derive constraints on the fluctuation amplitude σ8 and the cosmological density parameter Ω0 in cold dark matter (CDM) universes from the observed logN -logS relation of X-ray clusters. The 95 percent confidence limits on σ8 in the CDM models with n = 1 and h = 0.7 are expressed as (0.52± 0.02)Ω −0.35−0.90Ω0+0.76Ω20 0 (Ω0 < 0.75; λ0 = 1 − Ω0) and (0.52 ± 0.02)Ω −0.29−0.91Ω0+0.73Ω20 0 (Ω0 < 0...

متن کاملCosmological parameter constraints from galaxy-galaxy lensing and galaxy clustering with the SDSS DR7
Recent studies have shown that the cross-correlation coefficient between galaxies and dark matter is very close to unity on scales outside a few virial radii of galaxy haloes, independent of the details of how galaxies populate dark matter haloes. This finding makes it possible to determine the dark matter clustering from measurements of galaxy–galaxy weak lensing and galaxy clustering. We pres...
متن کاملPersistent fluctuations in galaxy number counts
– Fractal properties are usually characterized by means of various statistical tools which deal with spatial average quantities. Here we focus on the determination of fluctuations around the average counts and we develop a test for the study of galaxy distribution both in redshift and magnitude space. Fluctuations in the counts of galaxies, in a fractal distribution, are of the same order of th...
