Cosmology with the Lyman-α Forest in the Wmap Era
In the WMAP era of high precision cosmology an accurate determination of the matter power spectrum from Lyman-α forest data becomes crucial. When combining the matter power spectrum derived from CMB experiments with that inferred from Lyman-α absorption an evidence for a running spectral index and a primordial index n < 1 arises (Verde et al. 2003). In this talk, I will describe some results ob...
متن کاملThe bispectrum of the Lyman - α forest at z ∼ 2 − 2 . 4 from a Large sample of UVES QSO Absorption Spectra ( LUQAS ) ⋆
We present a determination of the bispectrum of the flux in the Lyman-α forest of QSO absorption spectra obtained from LUQAS which consists of spectra observed with the high resolution Echelle spectrograph UVES. Typical errors on the observed bispectrum as obtained from a jack-knife estimator are ∼ 50 %. For wavenumbers in the range 0.03 s/km < k < 0.1 s/km the observed bis-pectrum agrees withi...
متن کاملA combined analysis of 3D weak lensing, Lyman-alpha forest and WMAP year three data
We present constraints on the amplitude and shape of the matter power spectrum and the density of dark matter within the framework of a standard ΛCDM model. We use a Markov chain Monte Carlo approach to combine independent measurements of the three-dimensional weak gravitational lensing shear field by the COSMOS survey, of lowand high-resolution Lyman-α (Lyα) forest flux power spectrum by SDSS ...
متن کاملThe Lyman-α forest as a probe of fundamental physics
We use LUQAS, a sample of 27 high resolution high signal-to-noise UVES quasar (QSO) spectra (Kim et al. 2004), and the Croft et al. (2002) sample together with a set of high resolution large box size hydro-dynamical simulations run with the code GADGET-II to recover the linear dark matter power spectrum at z > 2 and at scales of 1− 40 h Mpc. These scales cannot be probed by any other observable...
متن کاملThe power spectrum of the flux distribution in the Lyman-α forest of a Large sample of UVES QSO Absorption Spectra (LUQAS)
The flux power spectra of the Lyman-α forest from a sample of 27 QSOs taken with the high resolution echelle spectrograph UVES on VLT are presented. We find a similar fluctuation amplitude at the peak of the “3D” flux power spectrum at k ∼ 0.03 s/km as the study by Croft et al. (2002), in the same redshift range. The amplitude of the flux power spectrum increases with decreasing redshift if cor...
