Non-Gaussian statistics of pencil beam surveys
We study the effect of the non-Gaussian clustering of galaxies on the statistics of pencil beam surveys. We find that the higher order moments of the galaxy distribution play an important role in the probability distribution for the power spectrum peaks. Taking into account the observed values for the kurtosis of galaxy distribution we derive the general probability distribution for the power s...
متن کاملGalaxy Statistics in Pencil-beam Surveys at High Redshifts
Surveys of faint galaxies at high redshifts often result in a “pencil-beam” geometry that is much longer along the line-of-sight than across the sky. We explore the effects of this geometry on the abundance and clustering of Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) and Lyman-α emitters (LAEs) based on cosmological N-body simulations which adequately describe the nonlinear growth of structure on small scales...
متن کاملSimulations of deep pencil-beam redshift surveys
We create mock pencil-beam redshift surveys from very large cosmological N -body simulations of two Cold Dark Matter cosmogonies, an Einstein-de Sitter model (τCDM) and a flat model with Ω0 = 0.3 and a cosmological constant (ΛCDM). We use these to assess the significance of the apparent periodicity discovered by Broadhurst et al. (1990). Simulation particles are tagged as ‘galaxies’ so as to re...
متن کاملLarge-scale distribution of quasars in deep pencil-beam surveys
We have used integral two-point spatial correlation function and its second derivative to analyze the distribution of quasars in three very deep surveys published in the literature. Statistically significant (∼ 2 − 3σ) correlations were found at scales of ∼ 50 − 100h Mpc in all of the analyzed surveys. We have used the friend-of-friend cluster analysis to show that these correlations can be exp...
متن کاملFast Pencil Beam Dose Calculation for Proton Therapy Using a Double-Gaussian Beam Model
The highly conformal dose distributions produced by scanned proton pencil beams (PBs) are more sensitive to motion and anatomical changes than those produced by conventional radiotherapy. The ability to calculate the dose in real-time as it is being delivered would enable, for example, online dose monitoring, and is therefore highly desirable. We have previously described an implementation of a...
