Cosmological Signatures in Galaxy Cluster Structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study substructure in X-ray clusters of galaxies by application of a set of statistics, the power ratios of Buote & Tsai (1995), to a simulated cluster and in the context of a simple analytic model for merger events. The simulation involves a newly developed code for performing high resolution gravity and gas dynamics simulations in cosmological volumes.

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 کاملThe morphological and dynamical evolution of simulated galaxy clusters
We explore the morphological and dynamical evolution of galaxy clusters in simulations using scalar and vector-valued Minkowski valuations and the concept of fundamental plane relations. In this context, three questions are of fundamental interest: 1. How does the average cluster morphology depend on the cosmological background model? 2. Is it possible to discriminate between different cosmolog...
متن کاملDark Matter Signatures in the Anisotropic Radio Sky
We calculate intensity and angular power spectrum of the cosmological background of synchrotron emission from cold dark matter annihilations into electron positron pairs. We compare this background with intensity and anisotropy of astrophysical and cosmological radio backgrounds, such as from normal galaxies, radiogalaxies, galaxy cluster accretion shocks, the cosmic microwave background and wi...
متن کاملConstraining Cosmology with High Convergence Regions in Weak Lensing Surveys
We propose to use a simple observable, the fractional area of “hot spots” in weak gravitational lensing mass maps which are detected with high significance, to determine background cosmological parameters. Because these high-convergence regions are directly related to the physical nonlinear structures of the universe, they derive cosmological information mainly from the nonlinear regime of dens...
متن کاملLarge Scale Structures in the Las Campanas Redshift Survey and in Simulations
The large supercluster structures obvious in recent galaxy redshift surveys are quantified using an one-dimensional cluster analysis (core sampling) and a three-dimensional cluster analysis based on the minimal spanning tree. The comparison with the LCRS reveals promising stable results. At a mean overdensity of about ten, the supercluster systems form huge wall-like structures comprising about...
