La frontera a alto corrimiento al rojo: historia de la formacio'n de las galaxias
Jordi Miralda-Escude
This review presents a brief discussion of the theory of Cold Dark Matter of structure formation in the universe, describing the main processes determining the power spectrum, the…
Cosmology with the Lyman-alpha Forest
David H. Weinberg, Scott Burles, Rupert A. C. Croft +11
We outline the physical picture of the high-redshift Ly-alpha forest that has emerged from cosmological simulations, describe statistical characteristics of the forest that can be…
Gaseous Galactic Halos and QSO Absorption Line Systems
H. J. Mo
Recent observations have shown that (some) metal line absorption systems in QSO spectra arise from gas in galactic halos with radii much larger than the optical radii of galaxies.…
New Statistical Measures of the Lya Forest Spectra for Accurate Comparison to Theoretical Models
J. Miralda-Escude, M. Rauch, W. L. W. Sargent +6
We propose a new method of analysis for the \lya forest, namely to measure the 1-point and 2-point joint probability distribution of the transmitted flux. The results for a sample…
The Mass Distribution in Clusters of Galaxies from Weak and Strong Lensing
Jordi Miralda-Escude
This paper is intended as an introduction to the theory of weak lensing. A review of the inversion formula introduced by Kaiser and Squires is presented. We then prove the formula…
