  • Gravitational Time Delay Effects on Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies
    PHYSICAL REVIEW D, VOLUME 63, 023504 Gravitational time delay effects on cosmic microwave background anisotropies Wayne Hu* Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, New Jersey 08540 and Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637 Asantha Cooray† Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637 ͑Received 2 August 2000; published 18 December 2000͒ We study the effect of gravitational time delay on the power spectra and bispectra of the cosmic microwave background ͑CMB͒ temperature and polarization anisotropies. The time delay effect modulates the spatial surface at recombination on which temperature anisotropies are observed, typically by ϳ1 Mpc. While this is a relatively large shift, its observable effects in the temperature and polarization fields are suppressed by geometric considerations. The leading order effect is from its correlation with the closely related gravitational lensing effect. The change to the temperature-polarization cross power spectrum is of order 0.1% and is hence comparable to the cosmic variance for the power in the multipoles around lϳ1000. While unlikely to be extracted from the data in its own right, its omission in modeling would produce a systematic error comparable to this limiting statistical error and, in principle, is relevant for future high precision experiments. Contributions to the bispectra result mainly from correlations with the Sachs-Wolfe effect and may safely be neglected in a low density universe.

  • Probes of Cosmological Structure and Galaxy Evolution Edited by John S
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-14352-3 - Clusters of Galaxies: Probes of Cosmological Structure and Galaxy Evolution Edited by John S. Mulchaey, Alan Dressler and Augustus Oemler Frontmatter More information Clusters of Galaxies Probes of Cosmological Structure and Galaxy Evolution Clusters of galaxies are the largest and most massive collapsed systems in the universe, and as such they are valuable probes of cosmological structure and galaxy evolution. The advent of extensive galaxy surveys, large ground-based facilities, space-based missions such as HST, Chandra,andXMM-Newton and detailed numerical simulations makes now a particularly exciting time to be involved in this field. The review papers in this volume span the full range of current research in this area, including theoretical expectations for the growth of structure, survey techniques to identify clusters, metal production and the intracluster medium, galaxy evolution in the cluster environment and group–cluster connections. With contributions from leading authorities in the field, this volume is appropriate both as an introduction to this topic for physics and astronomy graduate students, and as a reference source for professional research astronomers. JOHN S. MULCHAEY’s research has focused on groups of galaxies. In 1993, he provided some of the strongest evidence to date that galaxy groups are dominated by dark matter. More recently he has played an important role in the discovery and study of “fossil groups,” massive systems that contain very few galaxies. ALAN DRESSLER has made many fundamental contributions to the study of large-scale structure in the Universe over the last 30 years. Recently, he participated in the MORPHS project, using Hubble Space Telescope images to show that bursts of star formation were much more common in galaxies 5 billion years ago than they are today.

  • Travelling Back Through Time COORAYDR ASANTHA
    Travelling back through time DR ASANTHA COORAY With Drs Julie Wardlow and Joseph Smidt from his research group, Professor Asantha Cooray describes the areas of study by which they are seeking to expand knowledge of far distant galaxies and star formation Can you begin by outlining your research goals? Cooray: The fi rst goal for my team is to search for the fi rst galaxies in the distant, early Universe. The fi rst galaxies are expected to be small in size and mass compared to later ones and their distance at almost the edge of the observable Universe makes them hard to see individually with existing observatories. So we look for signals in the sky that suggest their presence through aggregate effects, such as small variations in the total light emitted by them. Such searches for fi rst galaxies are best done at short infrared (like a galaxy), a foreground mass (such as wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. another galaxy, or a cluster of galaxies) and A second research goal is to study the dust- our telescopes on Earth. The light from the enshrouded star formation in distant galaxies. background source has to pass through, or Since optical light is absorbed by dust, such very close to, the foreground mass in order observations are best done at long infrared to reach us. However, as Einstein theorised, wavelengths again from space. Why is there a need to investigate zodiacal the path that light takes is affected by the dust cloud?

    The Astrophysical Journal, 557:L7–L10, 2001 August 10 ൴ ᭧ 2001. The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved. Printed in U.S.A. MEASURING ANGULAR DIAMETER DISTANCES THROUGH HALO CLUSTERING Asantha Cooray,1,2 Wayne Hu,1 Dragan Huterer,3 and Michael Joffre1 Received 2001 May 7; accepted 2001 July 13; published 2001 July 20 ABSTRACT Current and upcoming wide-field surveys for weak gravitational lensing and the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect will generate mass-selected catalogs of dark matter halos with internal or follow-up photometric redshift information. Using the shape of the linear power spectrum as a standard ruler that is calibrated by cosmic microwave background 2 14 measurements, we find that a survey of 4000 deg and a mass threshold of 10 M, can be used to determine the comoving angular diameter distance as a function of redshift. In principle, this test also allows an absolute calibration of the distance scale and measurement of the Hubble constant. This test is largely insensitive to the details of halo mass measurements, mass function, and halo bias. Determination of these quantities would further allow a measurement of the linear growth rate of fluctuations. Subject headings: cosmology: theory — large-scale structure of universe On-line material: color figures 1. INTRODUCTION to uncertainties in the mass function and the relationship be- tween the halo masses and the actual observables, e.g., the SZ A number of observational efforts are now underway or temperature decrement or lensing aperture mass. The bias of being planned to image the large-scale structure of the universe the halos is scale-dependent only on small (nonlinear) scales spanning a range of redshifts.

Her name was Nettie Stevens. Interestingly, Stevens, a biologist, studied gender differences. Her work revolu- tionized our notion of what determines sex by showing that the X and Y chromosomes are involved, changing conventional thinking that environment was the cause. Since that time, Carnegie has fostered the genius of a succession of extraordinary women—geneticists Barbara McClintock and Nina Fedoroff, embryologist Elizabeth Ramsey, archaeologist Anna Shepard, and astronomer Vera Rubin, to name a few. In 2001, the National Research Council issued a report about women scientists and engineers in the workforce. It caught my eye, and I wondered how Carnegie compared with the national figures.

NASA History Program Office, publisher. Title: Not Yet Imagined : A study of Hubble Space Telescope Operations / Christopher Gainor. Description: Washington, DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Office of Communications, NASA History Division, [2020] | Series: NASA history series ; sp-2020-4237 | Includes bibliographical references and index. | Summary: “Dr. Christopher Gainor’s Not Yet Imagined documents the history of NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope (HST) from launch in 1990 through 2020. This is considered a follow-on book to Robert W. Smith’s The Space Telescope: A Study of NASA, Science, Technology, and Politics, which recorded the development history of HST. Dr. Gainor’s book will be suitable for a general audience, while also being scholarly. Highly visible interactions among the general public, astronomers, engineers, govern- ment officials, and members of Congress about HST’s servicing missions by Space Shuttle crews is a central theme of this history book. Beyond the glare of public attention, the evolution of HST becoming a model of supranational cooperation amongst scientists is a second central theme. Third, the decision-making behind the changes in Hubble’s instrument packages on servicing missions is chronicled, along with HST’s contributions to our knowledge about our solar system, our galaxy, and our universe.
