Alignments of galaxy group shapes with large scale structure

In this thesis we have presented several modelling techniques that can improve the cur- rent state-of-art of statistical cosmology: an improved halo modelling, a more realistic

The fluctuations of the complex amplitude, measured for a given spatial frequency as a function of wavelength (top panel), can be related to the different values of the corresponding

In the previous sections we have shown how astronomical alignments and solar hierophanies – with a common interest in the solstices − were substantiated in the

The study of the calibration vectors indicate that the square-root of the vari- ance is less than 20% of the mean Balmer artifact deviations and the study of quasar spectra

The results have been used to constrain the pair production of dark matter particles in models with a heavy mediator, and large extra dimensions in the context of the

Let us now explore the consequences of (6.10); we will take τ = 2π iβ in what follows, so that we have an ordinary partition function. In other words, in the high temperature

Paper I: The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: modelling the clustering and halo occupation distribution of BOSS CMASS galaxies in

As a means to probe the possible fractal structure of the galaxy distribution we have studied the scaling of the num- ber density and angular correlation function of galaxies
