  • THE NONLINEAR MATTER POWER SPECTRUM1 Online Material
    The Astrophysical Journal, 665:887– 898, 2007 August 20 A # 2007. The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved. Printed in U.S.A. THE NONLINEAR MATTER POWER SPECTRUM1 Zhaoming Ma Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics and Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL 60637; [email protected] Received 2006 October 6; accepted 2007 April 30 ABSTRACT We modify the public PM code developed by Anatoly Klypin and Jon Holtzman to simulate cosmologies with arbitrary initial power spectra and the equation of state of dark energy. With this tool in hand, we perform the follow- ing studies on the matter power spectrum. With an artificial sharp peak at k 0:2 h MpcÀ1 in the initial power spec- trum, we find that the position of the peak is not shifted by nonlinear evolution. An upper limit of the shift at the level of 0.02% is achieved by fitting the power spectrum local to the peak using a power law plus a Gaussian. We also find that the existence of a peak in the linear power spectrum would boost the nonlinear power at all scales evenly. This is contrary to what the HKLM scaling relation predicts, but roughly consistent with that of the halo model. We construct dark energy models with the same linear power spectra today but different linear growth histories. We demonstrate that their nonlinear power spectra differ at the level of the maximum deviation of the corresponding linear power spectra in the past. Similarly, two constructed dark energy models with the same growth histories result in consistent nonlinear power spectra.

  • The Effects of the Small-Scale Behaviour of Dark Matter Power Spectrum on CMB Spectral Distortion
    Prepared for submission to JCAP The effects of the small-scale behaviour of dark matter power spectrum on CMB spectral distortion Abir Sarkar,1,2 Shiv.K.Sethi,1 Subinoy Das3 1Raman Research Institute, CV Raman Ave Sadashivnagar, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560080, India 2Indian Institute of Science,CV Raman Ave, Devasandra Layout, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560012, India 3Indian Institute of Astrophysics,100 Feet Rd, Madiwala, 2nd Block, Koramangala, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560034, India E-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. After numerous astronomical and experimental searches, the precise particle nature of dark matter is still unknown. The standard Weakly Interacting Massive Particle(WIMP) dark mat- ter, despite successfully explaining the large-scale features of the universe, has long-standing small- scale issues. The spectral distortion in the Cosmic Microwave Background(CMB) caused by Silk damping in the pre-recombination era allows one to access information on a range of small scales 0.3Mpc <k< 104 Mpc−1, whose dynamics can be precisely described using linear theory. In this paper, we investigate the possibility of using the Silk damping induced CMB spectral distortion as a probe of the small-scale power. We consider four suggested alternative dark matter candidates— Warm Dark Matter (WDM), Late Forming Dark Matter (LFDM), Ultra Light Axion (ULA) dark matter and Charged Decaying Dark Matter (CHDM); the matter power in all these models deviate significantly from the ΛCDM model at small scales. We compute the spectral distortion of CMB for these alternative models and compare our results with the ΛCDM model. We show that the main arXiv:1701.07273v3 [astro-ph.CO] 7 Jul 2017 impact of alternative models is to alter the sub-horizon evolution of the Newtonian potential which affects the late-time behaviour of spectral distortion of CMB.

  • Cosmic Microwave Background
    1 29. Cosmic Microwave Background 29. Cosmic Microwave Background Revised August 2019 by D. Scott (U. of British Columbia) and G.F. Smoot (HKUST; Paris U.; UC Berkeley; LBNL). 29.1 Introduction The energy content in electromagnetic radiation from beyond our Galaxy is dominated by the cosmic microwave background (CMB), discovered in 1965 [1]. The spectrum of the CMB is well described by a blackbody function with T = 2.7255 K. This spectral form is a main supporting pillar of the hot Big Bang model for the Universe. The lack of any observed deviations from a 7 blackbody spectrum constrains physical processes over cosmic history at redshifts z ∼< 10 (see earlier versions of this review). Currently the key CMB observable is the angular variation in temperature (or intensity) corre- lations, and to a growing extent polarization [2–4]. Since the first detection of these anisotropies by the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite [5], there has been intense activity to map the sky at increasing levels of sensitivity and angular resolution by ground-based and balloon-borne measurements. These were joined in 2003 by the first results from NASA’s Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP)[6], which were improved upon by analyses of data added every 2 years, culminating in the 9-year results [7]. In 2013 we had the first results [8] from the third generation CMB satellite, ESA’s Planck mission [9,10], which were enhanced by results from the 2015 Planck data release [11, 12], and then the final 2018 Planck data release [13, 14]. Additionally, CMB an- isotropies have been extended to smaller angular scales by ground-based experiments, particularly the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) [15] and the South Pole Telescope (SPT) [16].

  • 6 Structure Formation – I
    6 Structure formation – I 6.1 Newtonian equations of motion We have decided that perturbations will in most cases effectively be described by the Newtonian potential, Φ. Now we need to develop an equation of motion for Φ, or equivalently for the density fluctuation ρ (1 + δ)¯ρ. In the Newtonian approach, we treat dynamics of cosmological≡ matter exactly as we would in the laboratory, by finding the equations of motion induced by either pressure or gravity. We begin by casting the problem in comoving units: x(t) = a(t)r(t) (177) δv(t) = a(t)u(t), so that x has units of proper length, i.e. it is an Eulerian coordinate. First note that the comoving peculiar velocity u is just the time derivative of the comoving coordinate r: x˙ =a ˙r + ar˙ = Hx + ar˙, (178) where the rhs must be equal to the Hubble flow Hx, plus the peculiar velocity δv = au. The equation of motion follows from writing the Eulerian equation of motion as x¨ = g0 + g, where g = Φ/a is the peculiar −∇∇∇∇∇∇∇ acceleration, and g0 is the acceleration that acts∇∇∇ on a particle in a homogeneous universe (neglecting pressure forces to start with, for simplicity). Differentiating x = ar twice gives a¨ x¨ = au˙ + 2˙au + x = g0 + g. (179) a The unperturbed equation corresponds to zero peculiar velocity and zero peculiar acceleration: (¨a/a) x = g0; subtracting this gives the perturbed equation of motion u˙ + 2(˙a/a)u = g/a = Φ/a. (180) −∇∇∇∇∇∇∇∇∇∇ This equation of motion for the peculiar velocity shows that u is affected by gravitational acceleration and by the Hubble drag term, 2(˙a/a)u.

  • Retrieving the Three-Dimensional Matter Power Spectrum and Galaxy Biasing Parameters from Lensing Tomography
    A&A 543, A2 (2012) Astronomy DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201118224 & c ESO 2012 Astrophysics Retrieving the three-dimensional matter power spectrum and galaxy biasing parameters from lensing tomography P. Simon Argelander-Institut für Astronomie, Universität Bonn, Auf dem Hügel 71, 53121 Bonn, Germany e-mail: [email protected] Received 7 October 2011 / Accepted 19 February 2012 ABSTRACT Aims. With the availability of galaxy distance indicators in weak lensing surveys, lensing tomography can be harnessed to constrain the three-dimensional (3D) matter power spectrum over a range of redshift and physical scale. By combining galaxy-galaxy lensing and galaxy clustering, this can be extended to probe the 3D galaxy-matter and galaxy-galaxy power spectrum or, alternatively, galaxy biasing parameters. Methods. To achieve this aim, this paper introduces and discusses minimum variance estimators and a more general Bayesian ap- proach to statistically invert a set of noisy tomography two-point correlation functions, measured within a confined opening angle. Both methods are constructed such that they probe deviations of the power spectrum from a fiducial power spectrum, thereby en- abling both a direct comparison of theory and data, and in principle the identification of the physical scale and redshift of deviations. By devising a new Monte Carlo technique, we quantify the measurement noise in the correlators for a fiducial survey, and test the performance of the inversion techniques. Results. For a relatively deep 200 deg2 survey (¯z ∼ 0.9) with 30 sources per square arcmin, the matter power spectrum can be probed with 3 − 6σ significance on comoving scales 1 kh−1 Mpc 10 and z 0.3.

  • Bias in Matter Power Spectra?

We review the constraints given by the linear matter power spectra data on cosmological and bias parameters, comparing the data from the PSCz survey (Hamilton et al. 2000) and from the matter power spectrum infered by the study of Lyman alpha spectra at z =2.72 (Croft et al. 2000). We consider flat–Λ cosmologies, 2 Pi(k) allowing Λ, H0 and n to vary, and we also let the two ratio factors rpscz and rLyman (r = )vary i PCMB(k) independently. Using a simple χ2 minimisation technique, we find confidence intervals on our parameters for each dataset and for a combined analysis. Letting the 5 parameters vary freely gives almost no constraints on cosmology, but the requirement of a universal ratio for both datasets implies unacceptably low values of H0 and Λ. Adding some reasonable priors on the cosmological parameters demonstrates that the power derived by the PSCz survey is higher by a factor of ∼1.75 compared to the power from the Lyman α forest survey. Key words. cosmology: observations – cosmology: theory 1.
