Cosmic structure formation in Hybrid Inflation models
A wide class of inflationary models, known as Hybrid Inflation models, may produce topological defects during a phase transition at the end of the inflationary epoch. We point out that, if the energy scale of these defects is close to that of Grand Unification, then their effect on cosmic structure formation and the generation of microwave background anisotropies cannot be ignored. Therefore, i...
متن کاملThe cluster abundance in cosmic string models for structure formation
We use the present observed number density of large X-ray clusters to constrain the amplitude of matter density perturbations induced by cosmic strings on the scale of 8h−1Mpc (σ8), in both open cosmologies and flat models with a non-zero cosmological constant. We find a slightly lower value of σ8 than that obtained in the context of primordial Gaussian fluctuations generated during inflation. ...
متن کاملAbundance and Clustering of QSOs in Cosmic Structure Formation Models
When combining the observations of spatial abundance and two-point correlation function of QSOs, we can effectively set constraints on models of cosmic structure formation. Both the abundance of gravitationally confined halos and their two-point correlation functions can be calculated in the conventional Press-Schechter formalism. We apply this method to examine the properties of possible host ...
متن کاملCosmic microwave background probes models of inflation.
Inflation creates both scalar (density) and tensor (gravity wave) metric perturbations. We find that the tensor mode contribution to the CMB anisotropy on large-angular scales can only exceed that of the scalar mode in models where the spectrum of perturbations deviates significantly from scale invariance (e.g., extended and power-law inflation models and extreme versions of chaotic inflation)....
متن کاملSimulating Cosmic Structure Formation
We describe cosmological simulation techniques and their application to studies of cosmic structure formation, with particular attention to recent hydrodynamic simulations of structure in the high redshift universe. Collisionless N-body simulations with Gaussian initial conditions produce a pattern of sheets, filaments, tunnels, and voids that resembles the observed large scale galaxy distribut...
