Dark Matter and Large Scale Structure
نویسنده
چکیده
A review of the study of dark matter and large scale structure of the Universe at Tartu Observatory is given. Tartu astronomers have participated in this development, starting from Ernst Öpik and Grigori Kuzmin, and continuing with the present generation of astronomers. Our goal was to understand better the structure, origin and evolution of the Universe.

Formation of Large Structures in the Acceleration Universe with a Hybrid Expansion Law
In the current paper, we have studied the effect of dark energy on for-mation where dark energy exists in the background. For this purpose, we used both WMAP9 and Planck data to study how the radius changes with redshift in these mod-els. We used different data sets to fix the cosmological parameters to obtain a solution for a spherical region under collapse. The mechanism of structure formation f...
متن کاملMicrowave Background Anisotropy and Large Scale Structure in Warm Dark Matter Models
Large scale structure and microwave background anisotropies are studied for warm dark matter models. Two warm dark matter candidates are considered: gravitinos and sterile neutrinos. Linear large scale structure properties such as σ8 and the excess power are calculated, as well as microwave background anisotropies. A rather robust feature of warm dark matter models is that the large scale struc...
متن کاملConstraining the Dark Matter Distribution With Large-Scale Structure Observations
We discuss the use of galaxies to trace the large-scale structure of the universe and thereby to make cosmological inferences. We put special emphasis on our lack of knowledge about the relative distribution of galaxies and the dynamically important dark matter. We end with a discussion of the increasing importance of infrared astronomy to large-scale structure studies.
متن کاملIs the ΛCDM Model Consistent with Observations of Large-Scale Structure?
The claim that large-scale structure data independently prefers the Λ Cold Dark Matter model is a myth. However, an updated compilation of large-scale structure observations cannot rule out ΛCDM at 95% confidence. We explore the possibility of improving the model by adding Hot Dark Matter but the fit becomes worse; this allows us to set limits on the neutrino mass.
متن کاملThe Future of the Local Large Scale Structure: the roles of Dark Matter and Dark Energy
We study the distinct effects of Dark Matter and Dark Energy on the future evolution of nearby large scale structures using constrained N-body simulations. We contrast a model of Cold Dark Matter and a Cosmological Constant (ΛCDM) with an Open CDM (OCDM) model with the same matter density Ωm = 0.3 and the same Hubble constant h = 0.7. Already by the time the scale factor increased by a factor o...
