چکیده

We give a summary of our recent studies of spatial and velocity biases of galaxy-size halos in cosmological models. Recent progress in numerical techniques made it possible to simulate halos in large volumes with a such accuracy that halos survive in dense environments of groups and clusters of galaxies. While the very central parts of clusters still may have been affected by numerical effects, halos in simulations look like real galaxies, and, thus, can be used to study the biases – differences between galaxies and the dark matter. For the standard LCDMmodel we find that the correlation function and the power spectrum of galaxy-size halos at z = 0 are antibiased on scales r < 5h−1Mpc and k ≈ (0.15− 30)hMpc−1. The biases depend on scale, redshift, and circular velocities of selected halos. Two processes seem to define the evolution of the spatial bias: (1) statistical bias (or peak bias) and merger bias (merging of galaxies, which happens preferentially in groups, reduces the number of galaxies, but does not affect the clustering of the dark matter). There are two kinds of velocity bias. The pair-wise velocity bias is b12 = 0.6−0.8 at r < 5h −1Mpc, z = 0. This bias mostly reflects the spatial bias and provides almost no information on the relative velocities of the galaxies and the dark matter. One-point velocity bias is a better measure of the velocities. Inside clusters the galaxies should move slightly faster (bv = 1.1− 1.3) than the dark matter. Qualitatively this result can be understood using the Jeans equations of the stellar dynamics.

تأثیر تغییرات مکانی بارندگی بر پیش‌بینی هیدروگراف سیلاب در حوضه‌های آبریز کوهستانی

In this study, the influence of spatial heterogeneity of rainfall on flood hydrograph prediction in three mountainous catchments in south west of Iran was studied. Two interpolation techniques including Thiessen polygons method and Inverse Distance Weighting method were applied to compare the rainfall patterns of surrounding rain-gages in hydrograph simulation with rainfall patterns of nearest ...

OKN, perceptual and VEP direction biases in strabismus

The present study quantified nasalward/temporalward biases in monocular optokinetic nystagmus (MOKN) and perceived velocity in patients with either early onset esotropia, late onset esotropia and in normals. MOKN was measured with low spatial frequency, small-field gratings drifting at 9.4 degrees/s. MOKN bias was quantified as the ratio of nasalward slow-phase velocity divided by the sum of te...

Iranian Permanent GPS Network Receivers Differential Code Biases Estimation Using Global Ionospheric Maps

Measurements of the dual frequency Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers can be used to calculate the electron density and the total electron content (TEC) of the ionosphere layer of the Earth atmosphere. TEC is a key parameter for investigating the ongoing spatial and temporal physical process of the ionosphere. For accurate estimation of TEC from GPS measurements, GPS satellites and GPS r...

Spatial and Dynamical Biases in Velocity Statistics of Galaxies

We present velocity statistics of galaxies and their biases inferred from the statistics of the underlying dark matter using a cosmological hydrodynamic simulation of galaxy formation in low-density and spatially flat (Ω0 = 0.3 and λ0 = 0.7) cold dark matter cosmogony. Our simulation is based on a P M N -body Poisson solver and smoothed particle hydrodynamics. Galaxies in our simulation are ide...
