Cosmic Strings & Cosmic Variance
By using a simple analytical model based on counting random multiple impulses inflicted on photons by a network of cosmic strings we show how to construct the general q-point temperature correlation function of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation. Our analysis is sensible specially for large angular scales where the Kaiser-Stebbins effect is dominant. Then we concentrate our study on the ...
متن کاملCosmic clocks, cosmic variance and cosmic averages
Cosmic acceleration is explained quantitatively, purely in general relativity with matter obeying the strong energy condition, as an apparent effect due to quasilocal gravitational energy differences that arise in the decoupling of bound systems from the global expansion of the universe. “Dark energy” is recognised as a misidentification of those aspects of gravitational energy which by virtue ...
متن کاملGetting Around Cosmic Variance
Cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies probe the primordial density field at the edge of the observable Universe. There is a limiting precision (“cosmic variance”) with which anisotropies can determine the amplitude of primordial mass fluctuations. This arises because the surface of last scatter (SLS) probes only a finite two-dimensional slice of the Universe. Probing other SLSs observe...
متن کاملQuantifying Cosmic Superstructures
The Large Scale Structure (LSS) found in galaxy redshift surveys and in computer simulations of cosmic structure formation shows a very complex network of galaxy clusters, filaments, and sheets around large voids. Here, we introduce a new algorithm, based on a Minimal Spanning Tree, to find basic structural elements of this network and their properties. We demonstrate how the algorithm works us...
متن کاملExperimental Cosmic Statistics I : Variance
Counts-in-cells are measured in the τCDM Virgo Hubble Volume simulation. This large N -body experiment has 10 particles in a cubic box of size 2000 h Mpc. The unprecedented combination of size and resolution allows for the first time a realistic numerical analysis of the cosmic errors and cosmic correlations of statistics related to counts-in-cells measurements, such as the probability distribu...
