Intrinsic Galaxy Alignments and Weak Gravitational Lensing
Gravitational lensing causes background galaxy images to become aligned, and the statistical characteristics of the image alignments can then be used to constrain the power spectrum of mass fluctuations. Analyses of gravitational lensing assume that intrinsic galaxy alignments are negligible, but if this assumption does not hold, then the interpretation of image alignments will be in error. As ...
متن کاملHot Gas in Galaxy Clusters: Theory and Simulations
— We review the theory of the formation of galaxy clusters and discuss their role as cosmological probes. We begin with the standard cosmological framework where we discuss the origin of the CDM matter power spectrum and the growth of density fluctuations in the linear regime. We then summarize the spherical top-hat model for the nonlinear growth of fluctuations from which scaling relations and...
متن کاملIntrinsic galaxy shapes and alignments II: Modelling the intrinsic alignment contamination of weak lensing surveys
Intrinsic galaxy alignments constitute the major astrophysical systematic of forthcoming weak gravitational lensing surveys but also yield unique insights into galaxy formation and evolution. We build analytic models for the distribution of galaxy shapes based on halo properties extracted from the Millennium Simulation, differentiating between earlyand late-type galaxies as well as central gala...
متن کاملSimulations of Early Galaxy Formation
We present the predictions for the photometric and emission line properties of galaxies present during the latter stages of reionization from z = 8 → 6. These preliminary predictions are made from cosmological hydrodynamic simulations that include star formation and feedback, but not the effects of radiative transfer. We find significant numbers of galaxies that have stellar masses exceeding 10...
متن کاملNumerical Simulations of Galaxy Formation
An overview over the current status of modeling galaxies by means of numerical simulations is given. After a short description of how galaxies form in hierarchically clustering scenarios, success and failures of current simulations are demonstrated using three different applications: the morphology of present day galaxies; the appearance of high redshift galaxies; and the nature of the Ly-α for...
