Peculiar Velocities of Galaxy Clusters
We investigate the peculiar velocities predicted for galaxy clusters by theories in the cold dark matter family. A widely used hypothesis identifies rich clusters with high peaks of a suitably smoothed version of the linear density fluctuation field. Their peculiar velocities are then obtained by extrapolating the similarly smoothed linear peculiar velocities at the positions of these peaks. We...
متن کاملPeculiar Velocities of Galaxy Clusters 32 LINEAR PREDICTIONS FOR THE PECULIAR VELOCITIES
We investigate the peculiar velocities predicted for galaxy clusters by theories in the cold dark matter family. A widely used hypothesis identiies rich clusters with high peaks of a suitably smoothed version of the linear density uctuation eld. Their peculiar velocities are then obtained by extrapolating the similarly smoothed linear peculiar velocities at the positions of these peaks. We test...
متن کاملLarge-scale Power Spectrum from Peculiar Velocities via Likelihood Analysis
The power spectrum (PS) of mass density fluctuations, independent of “biasing”, is estimated from the Mark III catalog of peculiar velocities using Bayesian statistics. A parametric model is assumed for the PS, and the free parameters are determined by maximizing the probability of the model given the data. The method has been tested using detailed mock catalogs. It has been applied to generali...
متن کاملStatistics of Peculiar Velocities from Cosmic Strings
We calculate the probability distribution of a single component of peculiar velocities due to cosmic strings, smoothed over regions with a radius of several h 1 Mpc. The probability distribution is shown to be Gaussian to good accuracy, in agreement with the distribution of peculiar velocities deduced from the 1.9 Jy IRAS redshift survey. Using the normalization of parameters of the cosmic stri...
متن کاملPeculiar velocities of galaxies and clusters
We present a simple model for the shape of the distribution function of galaxy peculiar velocities. We show how both nonlinear and linear theory terms combine to produce a distribution which has an approximately Gaussian core with exponential wings. The model is easily extended to study how the statistic depends on the type of particle used to trace the velocity field (dark matter particles, da...
