A New Object-Weighted Measure of the Small-Scale Velocity Dispersion
Jonathan E. Baker, Marc Davis
We describe a new statistic for measuring the small-scale velocity dispersion of galaxies directly from redshift surveys. This statistic is based on the object-weighted statistic p…
The Galaxy-Weighted Small-Scale Velocity Dispersion of the Las Campanas Redshift Survey
Jonathan E. Baker, Marc Davis, Huan Lin
The pair-weighted relative velocity dispersion of galaxies provides a measure of the thermal energy of fluctuations of the observed galaxy distribution, but the measure is difficul…
Evolution of the cluster abundance in non-Gaussian models
James Robinson, Jonathan E. Baker
We carry out N-body simulations of several non-Gaussian structure formation models, including Peebles' isocurvature cold dark matter model, cosmic string models, and a model with p…
The Velocity Field Predicted by the Optical Redshift Survey
Jonathan E. Baker, Marc Davis, Michael A. Strauss +2
We have used the Optical Redshift Survey (ORS; Santiago et al. 1995) to construct the gravity field due to fluctuations in the galaxy density field out to distances of 8000 km/s. A…
The Velocity Field from Type Ia Supernovae Matches the Gravity Field from Galaxy Surveys
Adam G. Riess, Marc Davis, Jonathan Baker +1
We compare the peculiar velocities of nearby SNe Ia with those predicted by the gravity fields of full sky galaxy catalogs. The method provides a powerful test of the gravitational…
