The impact of halo shapes on the bispectrum in cosmology
We use the triaxial halo model formalism of Smith & Watts (2005) to investigate the impact of dark matter halo shapes on the cosmological bispectrum. Analytic expressions for the dark matter distribution are derived and subsequently evaluated through numerical integration. Two models for the ellipsoidal halo profiles are considered: a toy model designed to isolate the effects of halo shape on t...
متن کاملPrecision Cosmology from the Lyman-α Forest: Power Spectrum and Bispectrum
We investigate the promise of the Ly-α forest for high precision cosmology in the era of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey using low order N-point statistics. We show that with the existing data one can determine the amplitude, slope and curvature of the slope of the matter power spectrum with a few percent precision. Higher order statistics such as the bispectrum provide independent information tha...
متن کاملThe needlets bispectrum
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to join two different threads of the recent literature on random fields on the sphere, namely the statistical analysis of higher order angular power spectra on one hand, and the construction of second-generation wavelets on the sphere on the other. To this aim, we introduce the needlets bispectrum and we derive a number of convergence results. Here, the li...
متن کاملThe Cosmic Microwave Background Bispectrum and Inflation
We derive an expression for the non-Gaussian cosmic-microwave-background (CMB) statistic I3 l defined recently by Ferreira, Magueijo, and Górski in terms of the slow-roll-inflation parameters ǫ and η. This result shows that a nonzero value of I3 l in COBE would rule out single-field slow-roll inflation. A sharp change in the slope of the inflaton potential could increase the predicted value of ...
متن کاملOn the bispectrum of COBE and WMAP
The COBE-DMR 4-year maps displayed a strong non-Gaussian signal in the “interscale” components of the bispectrum: their observed values did not display the scatter expected from Gaussian maps. We re-examine this and other suggested non-Gaussian features in the light of WMAP. We find that they all disappear. Given that it was proved that COBE-DMR high noise levels and documented systematics coul...
