Skewness and Kurtosis in Large-scale Cosmic Fields
In this paper, I present the calculation of the third and fourth moments of both the distribution function of the large–scale density and the large–scale divergence of the velocity field, θ. These calculations are made by the mean of perturbative calculations assuming Gaussian initial conditions and are expected to be valid in the linear or quasi linear regime. The moments are derived for a top...
متن کاملCosmic magnetic fields in large scale filaments and sheets
We consider the possibility that cosmic magnetic field, instead of being uniformly distributed, is strongly correlated with the large scale structure of the universe. Then, the observed rotational measure of extra-galactic radio sources would be caused mostly by the clumpy magnetic field in cosmological filaments/sheets rather than by a uniform magnetic field, which was often assumed in previou...
متن کاملThe Kurtosis of the Cosmic Shear Field
We study the fourth-order moment of the cosmic shear field using the dark matter halo approach to describe the nonlinear gravitational evolution of structure in the universe. Since the third-order moment of the shear field vanishes because of symmetry, non-Gaussian signatures in its one-point statistics emerge at the fourth-order level. We argue that the shear kurtosis parameter Sγ,4 ≡ 〈γ i 〉c/...
متن کاملCosmic string loops and large-scale structure
We investigate the contribution made by small loops from a cosmic string network as seeds for large-scale structure formation. We show that cosmic string loops are highly correlated with the long-string network on large scales and therefore contribute significantly to the power spectrum of density perturbations if the average loop lifetime is comparable to or above one Hubble time. This effect ...
متن کاملLarge Scale Cosmic Rays Anisotropy With IceCube
We report on a study of the anisotropy in the arrival direction of cosmic rays with a median energy per Cosmic Ray (CR) particle of ∼ 14 TeV using data from the IceCube detector. IceCube is a neutrino observatory at the geographical South Pole, when completed it will comprise 80 strings plus 6 additional strings for the low energy array Deep Core. The strings are deployed in the deep ice betwee...
