Baryon Oscillations in the Large Scale Structure
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the possibility for an observational detection of oscillations due to baryons in the matter power spectrum and suggest a new cosmological test using the angular power spectrum of halos. The standard rulers of the proposed test involve overall shape of the matter power spectrum and baryon oscillation peaks in projection, as a function of redshift. Since oscillations are erased at non-linear scales, traces at redshifts greater than 1 are generally preferred. Given the decrease in number density of clusters at high redshift, however, one is forced to use tracers corresponding to galaxy groups and galaxies themselves.

Baryonic Features in the Matter Transfer Function
We provide scaling relations and Ðtting formulae for adiabatic cold dark matter cosmologies that account for all baryon e†ects in the matter transfer function to better than 10% in the large-scale structure regime. They are based upon a physically well-motivated separation of the e†ects of acoustic oscillations, Compton drag, velocity overshoot, baryon infall, adiabatic damping, Silk damping, a...
متن کاملSignatures of the Baryon Acoustic Oscillations on the Convergence Power Spectrum of Weak lensing by Large Scale Structure
We employ an analytical approach to investigate the signatures of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAOs) on the convergence power spectrum of weak lensing by large scale structure. It is shown that the BAOs wiggles can be found in both of the linear and nonlinear convergence power spectra of weak lensing at about 40 ≤ l ≤ 600, but they are weaker than that of matter power spectrum. Although the st...
متن کاملConstraints on Dark Energy from Supernovae , γ - ray bursts , Acoustic Oscillations , Nucleosynthesis and Large Scale Structure and the Hubble constant
The luminosity distance vs. redshift law is now measured using supernovae and γ-ray bursts, and the angular size distance is measured at the surface of last scattering by the CMB and at z = 0.35 by baryon acoustic oscillations. In this paper this data is fit to models for the equation of state with w = −1, w = constant, and w(z) = w 0 + w a (1 − a). The last model is poorly constrained by the d...

متن کاملImproving Cosmological Distance Measurements by Reconstruction of the Baryon Acoustic Peak
The baryon acoustic oscillations are a promising route to the precision measure of the cosmological distance scale and hence the measurement of the time evolution of dark energy. We show that the nonlinear degradation of the acoustic signature in the correlations of low-redshift galaxies is a correctable process. By suitable reconstruction of the linear density field, one can sharpen the acoust...
