On the radiative efficiencies, Eddington ratios, and duty cycles of luminous high-redshift quasars
Francesco Shankar, Martin Crocce, Jordi Miralda-Escude' +2
We investigate the characteristic radiative efficiency ε, Eddington ratio λ, and duty cycle P_0 of high-redshift active galactic nuclei (AGN), drawing on measurements of the AGN lu…
Clustering of Luminous Red Galaxies III: Detection of the Baryon Acoustic Peak in the 3-point Correlation Function
E. Gaztanaga, A. Cabre, F. Castander +2
We present the 3-point function ξ_3 and Q_3=ξ_3/ξ_2^2 for a spectroscopic sample of luminous red galaxies (LRG) from SDSS DR6 & DR7. We find a strong (S/N6) detection of o…
Measuring Baryon Acoustic Oscillations along the line of sight with photometric redshifs: the PAU survey
N. Benitez, E. Gaztanaga, R. Miquel +24
Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) provide a standard ruler of known physical length, making it a promising probe of the nature of dark energy. The detection of BAO requires measur…
Multi-Point Propagators in Cosmological Gravitational Instability
Francis Bernardeau, Martin Crocce, Roman Scoccimarro
We introduce the concept of multi-point propagators between linear cosmic fields and their nonlinear counterparts in the context of cosmological perturbation theory. Such functions…
Nonlinear Evolution of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations
M. Crocce, R. Scoccimarro
We study the nonlinear evolution of the baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the dark matter power spectrum and correlation function using renormalized perturbation theory (RPT).…
Transients from Initial Conditions in Cosmological Simulations
M. Crocce, S. Pueblas, R. Scoccimarro
We study the impact of setting initial conditions in numerical simulations using the standard procedure based on the Zel'dovich approximation (ZA). As it is well known from perturb…
