Cosmological constraint from QSO spatial power spectrum
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we consider constraints on the cosmological density parameters from the spatial power spectrum of QSOs. We first review an analytic approach to the spatial power spectrum of QSOs, then we compare the result of the analytic approach with a preliminary result of the power spectrum from the two-degree Field QSO redshift (2QZ) survey. From a simple χ test, we show that a finite baryon fraction better explains observation of the QSO power spectrum, which might suggest a possible detection of the baryonic oscillations in the QSO power spectrum.

Cosmological Constraint from the 2dF QSO Spatial Power Spectrum
In this paper we obtain constraints on the cosmological density parameters, Ωm and Ωb, by comparing the preliminary measurement of the QSO power spectrum from the two degree field QSO redshift survey with results from an analytic technique of power spectrum estimation, described in this paper. We demonstrate the validity of the analytic approach by comparing the results with the power spectrum ...
متن کاملMeasuring Cosmological Parameters with the SDSS QSO Spatial Power Spectrum Analysis to Test the Cosmological Principle
In this paper we emphasize the importance of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) QSO clustering statistics as a unique probe of the Universe. Because the complete SDSS QSO sample covers a quarter of the observable universe, cosmological parameters estimated from the clustering statistics have an implication as a test of the cosmological principle, by comparing with those from local galaxies and...

We revisit the power spectrum analysis of the complete sample of the two degree field (2dF) QSO redshift (2QZ) survey, as a complementary test of the work by Outram et al. (2003). A power spectrum consistent with that of the 2QZ group is obtained. Differently from their approach, fitting of the power spectrum is investigated incorporating the nonlinear effects, the geometric distortion and the ...
متن کاملCosmological and astrophysical parameters from the SDSS flux power spectrum and hydrodynamical simulations of the Lyman-α forest
The flux power spectrum of the Lyman-α forest in quasar (QSO) absorption spectra is sensitive to a wide range of cosmological and astrophysical parameters and instrumental effects. Modelling the flux power spectrum in this large parameter space to an accuracy comparable to the statistical uncertainty of large samples of QSO spectra is very challenging. We use here a coarse grid of hydrodynamica...
متن کاملRecovery of the Power Spectrum of Mass Fluctuations from Observations of the Lyman-alpha Forest
We present a method to recover the shape and amplitude of the power spectrum of mass fluctuations, P (k), from observations of the high redshift Lyα forest. The method is motivated by the physical picture that has emerged from hydrodynamic cosmological simulations and related semi-analytic models, in which typical Lyα forest lines arise in a diffuse, continuous, fluctuating intergalactic medium...
