Multiresolution Analysis of Cosmological N-Body Simulations and Comparison with Two-Dimensional Galaxy Distributions for Estimating Large-Scale Structure
نویسندگان
چکیده
A multiresolution analysis was performed to estimate the large-scale structure of cosmological N -body simulations. To explore relations between the multiresolution analysis and the galaxy distributions, a method that is familiar to image processing engineering was utilized. We proposed a new technique for quantifying the large-scale structures, and found that this is useful to discriminate differences in galaxy distributions among power-law simulations. We next applied the multiresolution analysis to CDM simulations, and also obtained a confirmation of the usefulness of this analysis; our new technique had advantages in clearly distinguishing differences in galaxy distributions in CDM models. We finally compared the galaxy distributions in the two-dimensional observational data (LEDA2d subsample) with those in CDM mock samples, and found that the standard CDM model does not reproduce the galaxy distributions in our universe.

Large 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...

Halo models of the large scale structure of the Universe are critically examined, focusing on the definition of halos as smooth distributions of cold dark matter. This definition is essentially based on the results of cosmological N-body simulations. By a careful analysis of the standard assumptions of halo models and N-body simulations and by taking into account previous studies of self-simila...

A wavelet analysis, in the context of multiresolution. is performed to study the distribution of matter in the universe at extragalactic scales. Specifically, a threedimensional Haar system is used to extract statistical properties of large-scale structure. Despite the simplicity of the wavelet form, the method is effective for identifying general properties of gravitational clustering phenomen...

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 کاملGalaxy tracers in cosmological N-body simulations
Galaxies, and the large-scale structure that they trace, grew via gravitational instability from small amplitude Gaussian density fluctuations. This nonlinear process can be studied by means of N -body simulations. The main target of this approach is to evaluate various cosmological theories of structure formation. Unfortunately, the dynamical range of current cosmological simulations is inadeq...
