Non-Gaussian Error Distribution of Hubble Constant Measurements
We construct the error distribution of Hubble constant (H0) measurements from Huchra’s compilation of 461 measurements of H0 and the WMAP experiment central value H0 = 71 km s −1 Mpc−1. This error distribution is non-Gaussian, with significantly larger probability in the tails of the distribution than predicted by a Gaussian distribution. The 95.4 % confidence limits are 7.0 σ in terms of the q...
متن کاملA Plausible Galactic Spiral Pattern and its Rotation Speed
We report calculations of the stellar and gaseous response to a Milky Way mass distribution model including a spiral pattern with a locus as traced by K-band observations, over imposed on the axisymmetric components in the plane of the disk. The stellar study extends calculations from previous work concerning the self-consistency of the pattern. The stellar response to the imposed spiral mass i...

متن کاملSample Variance of non-Gaussian Sky Distributions
Non-Gaussian distributions of cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies have been proposed to reconcile the discrepancies between different experiments at half-degree scales (Coulson et al. 1994). Each experiment probes a different part of the sky, furthermore, sky coverage is very small, hence the sample variance of each experiment can be large, especially when the sky signal is non-Gauss...
متن کاملNon-Gaussian distributions in extended dynamical systems.
We propose a novel mechanism for the origin of non-Gaussian tails in the probability distribution functions (PDFs) of local variables in nonlinear, diffusive, dynamical systems including passive scalars advected by chaotic velocity fields. Intermittent fluctuations on appropriate time scales in the amplitude of the (chaotic) noise can lead to exponential tails. We provide numerical evidence for...
