Reconstructing cosmological initial conditions from galaxy peculiar velocities. III. Constrained simulations
Timur Doumler, Stefan Gottloeber, Yehuda Hoffman +1
In previous works we proposed the Reverse Zeldovich Approximation (RZA) method, which can be used to estimate the cosmological initial conditions underlying the galaxy distribution…
Reconstructing cosmological initial conditions from galaxy peculiar velocities. II. The effect of observational errors
Timur Doumler, Helene Courtois, Stefan Gottloeber +1
The Reverse Zeldovich Approximation (RZA) is a reconstruction method which allows to estimate the cosmic displacement field from galaxy peculiar velocity data and to constrain init…
Reconstructing cosmological initial conditions from galaxy peculiar velocities. I. Reverse Zeldovich Approximation
Timur Doumler, Yehuda Hoffman, Helene Courtois +1
We propose a new method to recover the cosmological initial conditions of the presently observed galaxy distribution, which can serve to run constrained simulations of the Local Un…
Cosmic vorticity and the origin of halo spins
Noam I Libeskind, Yehuda Hoffman, Matthias Steinmetz +3
In the standard model of cosmology, structure emerges out of non-rotational flow and the angular momentum of collapsing halos is induced by tidal torques. The growth of halo angula…
Dwarf Galaxies and the Cosmic Web
Alejandro Benitez-Llambay, Julio F. Navarro, Mario G. Abadi +4
We use a cosmological simulation of the formation of the Local Group of Galaxies to identify a mechanism that enables the removal of baryons from low-mass halos without appealing t…
The MUSIC of Galaxy Clusters I: Baryon properties and Scaling Relations of the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect
Federico Sembolini, Gustavo Yepes, Marco De Petris +3
We introduce the Marenostrum-MultiDark SImulations of galaxy Clusters (MUSIC) Dataset, one of the largest sample of hydrodynamically simulated galaxy clusters with more than 500 cl…
Size matters: the non-universal density profile of subhaloes in SPH simulations and implications for the Milky Way's dSphs
Arianna Di Cintio, Alexander Knebe, Noam I. Libeskind +4
We use dark matter only and full hydrodynamical Constrained Local UniversE Simulations (CLUES) of the formation of the Local Group to study the density profile of subhaloes of the…
Applying scale-free mass estimators to the Local Group in Constrained Local Universe Simulations
Arianna Di Cintio, Alexander Knebe, Noam I. Libeskind +3
We use the recently proposed scale-free mass estimators to determine the masses of the Milky Way (MW) and Andromeda (M31) galaxy in a dark matter only Constrained Local UniversE Si…
The clustering of galaxies at z~0.5 in the SDSS-III Data Release 9 BOSS-CMASS sample: a test for the LCDM cosmology
Sebastian E. Nuza, Ariel G. Sanchez, Francisco Prada +28
We present results on the clustering of 282,068 galaxies in the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) sample of massive galaxies with redshifts 0.4<z<0.7 which is part of…
The cosmic web and the orientation of angular momenta
Noam I. Libeskind, Yehuda Hoffman, Alexander Knebe +4
We use a 64Mpc dark matter (DM) only cosmological simulation to examine the large scale orientation of haloes and substructures with respect the cosmic web. A web classific…
A kinematic classification of the cosmic web
Yehuda Hoffman, Ofer Metuki, Gustavo Yepes +4
A new approach for the classification of the cosmic web is presented. In extension of the previous work of Hahn et al. (2007) and Forero-Romero et al. (2009) the new algorithm is b…
