Statistical properties of the convergence due to weak gravitational lensing by non-linear structures
P. Valageas
Density fluctuations in the matter distribution lead to distortions of the images of distant galaxies through weak gravitational lensing effects. This provides an efficient probe o…
Multiplicity Functions and X-ray emission of Clusters and Groups versus Galaxies and Quasars
P. Valageas, R. Schaeffer
We use a unified analytical formulation for the multiplicity functions of clusters and galaxies which is free from the cloud-in-cloud problem encountered in earlier approaches and…
The entropy history of the universe
P. Valageas, J. Silk
Using a unified analytic model for quasars, galaxies, Lyman-alpha absorbers and the IGM, we obtain the redshift evolution of the temperature and the entropy of the gas and the corr…
Non-linear gravitational clustering: smooth halos, substructures and scaling exponents
P. Valageas
Within the framework of hierarchical clustering scenarios, we investigate the consequences for the properties of virialized halos of the constraints provided by numerical simulatio…
The reheating and reionization history of the universe
P. Valageas, J. Silk
We incorporate quasars into an analytic model to describe the reheating and reionization of the universe. In combination with a previous study of galaxies and Lyman- clouds, we…
The redshift evolution of Lyman- absorbers
P. Valageas, R. Schaeffer, J. Silk
We present a model for the Lyman-alpha absorbers that treats all objects (from the low-density forest clouds to the dense damped systems) in a unified description. This approach is…
