Measuring the Cosmic Equation of State with Counts of Galaxies
Jeffrey A. Newman, Marc Davis
The classical dN/dz test allows the determination of fundamental cosmological parameters from the evolution of the cosmic volume element. This test is applied by measuring the reds…
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…
A Cepheid distance to NGC 4258
Eyal Maoz, Jeffrey A. Newman, Laura Ferrarese +5
Distances measured using Cepheid variable stars have been essential for establishing the cosmological distance scale and the value of the Hubble constant. These stars have remained…
Extrapolation of Galactic Dust Emission at 100 Microns to CMBR Frequencies Using FIRAS
Douglas P. Finkbeiner, Marc Davis, David J. Schlegel
We present predicted full-sky maps of submillimeter and microwave emission from the diffuse interstellar dust in the Galaxy. These maps are extrapolated from the 100 micron emissio…
Measuring Omega with Galaxy Streaming Velocities
P. G. Ferreira, M. Davis, H. A. Feldman +2
The mean pairwise velocity of galaxies has traditionally been estimated from the redshift space galaxy correlation function. This method is notorious for being highly sensitive to…
