Angular correlations of galaxy distribution
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the angular correlations of various galaxy catalogs (CfA1, SSRS1, Perseus-Pisces, APM Bright Galaxies and Zwicky). We find that the angular correlation exponent is γ a = 0.1 ± 0.1 rather than γ a = 0.7 as usually found by the standard correlation function ω(θ). We identify the problem in the artificial decay of ω(θ). Moreover we find that no characteristic angular scale is present in any of the analyzed catalogs. Finally we show that all the available data are consistent with each other and the angular distribution of galaxies is quite naturally compatible with a fractal structure with D ≈ 2.

baryonic matter distribution in the large-scale structures is one of the main questions in cosmology. This distribution can provide valuable information regarding the processes of galaxy formation and evolution. On the other hand, the missing baryon problem is still under debate. One of the most important cosmological structures for studying the rate and the distribution of the baryons is gal...
متن کاملDynamic Modeling and Controller Design of Distribution Static Compensator in a Microgrid Based on Combination of Fuzzy Set and Galaxy-based Search Algorithm
This paper presents a nonlinear controller for a Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) of a microgrid incorporating the Distributed Generation (DG) units. The nonlinear control has been designed based on partial feedback linearization theory and Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers try to adjust the voltage and trace the output. This paper has proposed a combination of a fuz...

It has recently been argued that the observed ellipticities of galaxies may be determined at least in part by the primordial tidal gravitational field in which the galaxy formed. Long-range correlations in the tidal field could thus lead to an ellipticity-ellipticity correlation for widely separated galaxies. I present results of a calculation of the angular power spectrum of intrinsic galaxy s...

متن کاملSpin Induced Galaxy Alignments and Their Implications for Weak Lensing Measurements
Large scale correlations in the orientations of galaxies can result from alignments in their angular momentum vectors. These alignments arise from the tidal torques exerted on neighboring proto-galaxies by the smoothly varying shear field. We compute the predicted amplitude of such ellipticity correlations using the Zel’dovich approximation for a realistic distribution of galaxy shapes. Weak gr...
