Non-Linear Evolution of the Bispectrum of Cosmological Perturbations
Roman Scoccimarro, Stephane Colombi, J. N. Fry +3
The bispectrum, the three-point function of density fluctuations in Fourier space, is the lowest order statistic that carries information about the spatial coherence of large-scale…
Eccentricity Evolution in Simulated Galaxy Clusters
Stephen Floor, Adrian Melott, Christopher Miller +1
Strong cluster eccentricity evolution for has appeared in a variety of observational data sets. We examine the evolution of eccentricity in simulated galaxy clusters u…
Modeling atmospheric effects of the September 1859 Solar Flare
Brian Thomas, Charles Jackman, Adrian Melott
We have modeled atmospheric effects, especially ozone depletion, due to a solar proton event which probably accompanied the extreme magnetic storm of 1-2 September 1859. We use an…
Universal Behavior of Phase Correlations in Non-linear Gravitational Clustering
Peter Watts, Peter Coles, Adrian Melott
The large-scale structure of the Universe is thought to evolve by a process of gravitational amplification from low-amplitude Gaussian noise generated in the early Universe. The la…
Book review of SUPERSTITION by Robert Park
Adrian Melott
The 2008 book Superstition: Belief in the age of science, by Robert Park, published by Princeton University Press is briefly reviewed.
Optimal Moments for Velocity Fields Analysis
Hume A Feldman, Richard Watkins, Adrian Melott +1
We describe a new method of overcoming problems inherent in peculiar velocity surveys by using data compression as a filter with which to separate large-scale, linear flows from sm…
