Quantification of the multi-streaming effect in Redshift Space Distortion

Yi Zheng, Pengjie Zhang, Minji Oh

Both multi-streaming (random motion) and bulk motion cause the Finger-of-God (FoG) effect in redshift space distortion (RSD). We apply a direct measurement of the multi-streaming e…

The cosmological principle is not in the sky

Chan-Gyung Park, Hwasu Hyun, Hyerim Noh +1

The homogeneity of matter distribution at large scales, known as the cosmological principle, is a central assumption in the standard cosmological model. The case is testable though…

Metastable Dark Energy with Radioactive-like Decay

Arman Shafieloo, Dhiraj Kumar Hazra, Varun Sahni +1

We propose a new class of metastable dark energy (DE) phenomenological models in which the DE decay rate does not depend on external parameters such as the scale factor or the curv…

Turbulence and Vorticity in Galaxy Clusters Generated by Structure Formation

F. Vazza, T. W. Jones, M. Brüggen +4

Turbulence is a key ingredient for the evolution of the intracluster medium, whose properties can be predicted with high resolution numerical simulations. We present initial result…

Growth of perturbations in nonlocal gravity with non-CDM background

Sohyun Park, Arman Shafieloo

We re-analyze the nonlocal gravity model of Deser and Woodard which was proposed to account for the current phase of cosmic acceleration. We show that the growth of perturbations p…

Beyond Kaiser bias: mildly non-linear two-point statistics of densities in distant spheres

C. Uhlemann, S. Codis, J. Kim +5

Simple parameter-free analytic bias functions for the two-point correlation of densities in spheres at large separation are presented. These bias functions generalize the so-called…

Primordial features and Planck polarization

Dhiraj Kumar Hazra, Arman Shafieloo, George F. Smoot +1

With the Planck 2015 Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature and polarization data, we search for possible features in the primordial power spectrum (PPS). We revisit the Wig…

Discovery of a Supercluster at 0.91 and Testing the CDM Cosmological Model

J. -W. Kim, M. Im, S. -K. Lee +13

The CDM cosmological model successfully reproduces many aspects of the galaxy and structure formation of the universe. However, the growth of large-scale structures (LSSs) in th…
