چکیده
We introduce a set of four new publicly available N-body simulations, the most recent additions to the Texas P 3 M Database. Our models probe the less studied parameter space region of moderate volume (100h −1 Mpc box) combined with fine mass resolution (∝ 10 12 M⊙, roughly comparable to a L⋆ galaxy), making these simulations especially suitable for study of major large-scale structure (LSS) features such as voids, and for comparison with the largest three-dimensional redshift surveys currently available. Our cosmological models (LCDM, TOCDM, OCDM, TCDM) are all COBE-normalized, and when possible (LCDM and TOCDM) also cluster-normalized, based on the X-ray cluster M –T relation. The COBE-and cluster-normalized LCDM model reiterates the attractiveness of this currently favored model which does not require the introduction of tilt in order to fit the constraints imposed by observations of other cosmological parameters.

Received ; accepted – 2 – ABSTRACT We study the cluster mass function in mixed dark matter (MDM) models, using two COBE normalized simulations with Ω h = 0.26 and n = 1.2, and Ω h = 0.14 and n = 1.05, both with 2 massive ν's (MDM1 and MDM2, respectively). For the sake of comparison, we also simulate a CDM model with spectral index n = 0.8 (TCDM), also COBE normalized. We argue that, in our non–...

I present an analysis of the density shapes of dark matter halos in ΛCDM and ΛWDM cosmologies. The main results are derived from a statistical sample of galaxy-mass halos drawn from a high resolution ΛCDM N-body simulation. Halo shapes show significant trends with mass and redshift: low-mass halos are rounder than high mass halos, and, for a fixed mass, halos are rounder at low z. Contrary to p...
متن کاملX-ray Clusters from a High Resolution Hydrodynamic Ppm Simulation of the Cdm Universe
A new three dimensional Piecewise Parabolic Method (PPM) based hydrodynamic code is utilized to compute the distribution of hot gas in the standard COBE normalized CDM universe. Utilizing periodic boundary conditions, a box with size 85h 1 Mpc having cell size 0:31h 1 Mpc, is followed in a simulation with 270 3 = 10 7:3 cells. Adopting standard parameters determined from COBE and light element ...
متن کاملA Hydrodynamic Simulation of Cluster Formation
We have developed a hybrid cosmological code to probe the baryonic gas dynamics of large cosmological structures. An adiabatic simulation of large scale structure formation has been performed, using initial conditions speci ed by the cold dark matter (CDM) power spectrum normalized to the COBE detection. A baryon fraction of 0:06 is adopted and the simulation follows an 85h 1 Mpc box with 25 mi...

Received ; accepted – 2 – ABSTRACT We evaluate the dependence of the cluster correlation length r c on the mean intercluster separation D c , for three models with critical matter density, vanishing vacuum energy (Λ = 0) and COBE normalized: a tilted CDM (tCDM) model (n = 0.8) and two blue mixed models with two light massive neutrinos yielding Ω h = 0.26 and 0.14 (MDM1 and MDM2, respectively). ...
