Halo Counts-in-cells for Cosmological Models with Different Dark Energy
Di Wen, Athol J. Kemball, William C. Saslaw
We examine the counts-in-cells probability distribution functions that describe dark matter halos in the Dark Energy Universe Simulations (DEUS). We describe the measurements betwe…
Shapes and Probabilities of Galaxy Clusters II: Comparisons with observations
Abel Yang, William C. Saslaw
We identify low redshift clusters and groups in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and estimate their kinetic and correlation potential energies. We compare the distribution of th…
Shapes and Probabilities of Galaxy Clusters
Abel Yang, William C. Saslaw
We develop a general theory for estimating the probability that a galaxy cluster of a given shape exists. The theory is based on the observed result that the distribution of galaxi…
The robustness of the galaxy distribution function to effects of merging and evolution
Abel Yang, William C. Saslaw, Aik Hui Chan +1
We examine the evolution of the spatial counts-in-cells distribution of galaxies and show that the form of the galaxy distribution function does not change significantly as galaxie…
The galaxy counts-in-cells distribution from the SDSS
Abel Yang, William C. Saslaw
We determine the galaxy counts-in-cells distribution from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) for 3D spherical cells in redshift space as well as for 2D projected cells. We find th…
The Spatial Distribution Function of Galaxies at High Redshift
Hadi Rahmani, William C. Saslaw, Saeed Tavasoli
This is the first exploration of the galaxy distribution function at redshifts greater than about 0.1. Redshifts are based on the North and South GOODS Catalogs. In each catalog we…
Statistical Mechanics of the Cosmological Many-body Problem and its Relation to Galaxy Clustering
W. C. Saslaw, A. Yang
The cosmological many-body problem is effectively an infinite system of gravitationally interacting masses in an expanding universe. Despite the interactions' long-range nature, an…
The Galaxy Distribution Function from the 2MASS Survey
Gregory R. Sivakoff, William C. Saslaw
We determine the spatial distribution function of galaxies from a wide range of samples in the 2MASS survey. The results agree very well with the form of the distribution predicted…
Gravitational Binding, Virialization and the Peculiar Velocity Distribution of the Galaxies
Bernard Leong, William Saslaw
We examine the peculiar velocity distribution function of galaxies in cosmological many-body gravitational clustering. Our statistical mechanical approach derives a previous basic…
The observed distribution function of peculiar velocities of galaxies
Somak Raychaudhury, William C. Saslaw
We give the first determination of the observed peculiar velocity distribution function for a representative sample of galaxies (within 50 Mpc (H=100) of the Local Group), which in…
