The peculiar velocity field in a quintessence model
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate the evolution of matter density perturbations and some properties of the peculiar velocity field for a special class of exponential potentials in a scalar field model for quintessence, for which a general exact solution is known. The data from the 2-degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) suggest a value of the today pressureless matter density ΩM0 = 0.18±0.05.

Direct reconstruction of the quintessence potential
We describe an algorithm which directly determines the quintessence potential from observational data, without using an equation of state parametrisation. The strategy is to numerically determine observational quantities as a function of the expansion coefficients of the quintessence potential, which are then constrained using a likelihood approach. We further impose a model selection criterion...
متن کاملProbing the Large-scale Velocity Field with Clusters of Galaxies
What is the role of clusters of galaxies in probing the large-scale velocity field of the universe? We investigate the distribution of peculiar velocities of clusters of galaxies in the popular low-density (Ω = 0.3) flat Cold-Dark-Matter (CDM) cosmological model, which best fits many large-scale structure observations. An Ω = 1 CDM model is also studied for comparison. We find that clusters of ...
متن کاملApplication of Soft Computing Methods in the Analysis of Velocity Field in Dividing Channel
The simplest water diversion method in irrigation systems is using intakes. Measuring the mean velocity is one of the essential hydraulic parameters in increasing the efficiency of the intake. In this study, the mean velocity was predicted for different width ratios of an intake using ANN-MLP neural network model. In order to do that, the flow field within a 90-degree intake was first simulated...
متن کاملThe Local Velocity Field
We only see a small fraction of the matter in the universe, but the rest gives itself away by the impact of its gravity. The distortions from pure Hubble flow (or peculiar velocities) that this matter creates have the potential to be a powerful cosmological tool, but are also a nuisance for extragalactic astronomers who wish to use redshifts to estimate distances to local galaxies. We provide a...
متن کامل0 A ug 1 99 9 A Re - Examination of the Origins of the Peculiar Velocity Field Within the Local
The recent re-evaulation of the peculiar velocity field outside the Local Supercluster (Dekel et al. 1999) has permitted a re-examination of the origins of the peculiar velocity field within the Local Supercluster using the Mark III Catalog of Galaxy Peculiar Velocities. It is shown that the large-scale coherent pattern of peculiar velocities within the LSC are well-fit by a combination of the ...
