    Descripción

    El Fondo Cósmico de Microondas (FCM) contiene la información estadística de las semillas primigenias que han dado lugar a la formación de todas las estructuras en el Universo. Su contrapartida natural en el Universo local es la distribución de las galaxias que surgen como resultado del crecimiento gravitatorio de aquellas fluctuaciones de densidad primigenias. La caracterización de la distribución de inhomogeneidades a gran escala en el Universo local proporciona una herramienta muy poderosa, y complementaria al FCM, para determinar el origen y el contenido energético del Universo, el ritmo de expansión del mismo durante la evolución cósmica, los detalles del proceso de formación de todas las estructuras a gran escala que observamos en el Universo hoy día. Esta es la página web del grupo de Cosmología con trazadores de la Estructura a Gran Escala (LSS de sus siglas en inglés), en el IAC.

    • A common explanation of the Hubble tension and anomalous cold spots in the CMB

      The standard cosmological paradigm narrates a reassuring story of a universe currently dominated by an enigmatic dark energy component. Disquietingly, its universal explaining power has recently been challenged by, above all, the ∼4σ tension in the values of the Hubble constant. Another, less studied anomaly is the repeated observation of

    • Biases in galaxy cluster velocity dispersion and mass estimates in the small N<SUB>gal</SUB> regime

      Aims: We present a study of the statistical properties of three velocity dispersion and mass estimators: biweight, gapper, and standard deviation for a small number of galaxies (Ngal ≤ 75). Methods: Using a set of 73 numerically simulated galaxy clusters, we first characterised the statistical bias and the variance for each one of the three

    • The bias of dark matter tracers: assessing the accuracy of mapping techniques

      We present a comparison between approximated methods for the construction of mock catalogues based on the halo-bias mapping technique. To this end, we use as reference a high-resolution N-body simulation of 38403 dark matter particles on a 400 h-1 Mpc cube box from the Multidark suite. In particular, we explore parametric versus non-parametric bias

    • One simulation to have them all: performance of the Bias Assignment Method against N-body simulations

      In this paper, we demonstrate that the information encoded in one single (sufficiently large) N-body simulation can be used to reproduce arbitrary numbers of halo catalogues, using approximated realizations of dark matter density fields with different initial conditions. To this end, we use as a reference one realization (from an ensemble of 300)

      We provide predictions of the yield of 7 < z < 9 quasars from the Euclid wide survey, updating the calculation presented in the Euclid Red Book in several ways. We account for revisions to the Euclid near-infrared filter wavelengths; we adopt steeper rates of decline of the quasar luminosity function (QLF; Φ) with redshift, Φ ∝ 10k(z - 6), k = -0

    • Improving baryon acoustic oscillation measurement with the combination of cosmic voids and galaxies

      We develop a methodology to optimize the measurement of baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) from a given galaxy sample. In our previous work, we demonstrated that one can measure BAO from tracers in underdense regions (voids). In this study, we combine the overdense and underdense tracers (galaxies and voids) to obtain better constraints on the BAO

      Context. The second legacy catalog of Planck Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) sources, hereafter PSZ2, provides the largest galaxy cluster sample selected by means of the SZ signature of the clusters in a full sky survey. In order to fully characterize this PSZ2 sample for cosmological studies, all the members should be validated and the physical properties

    • Dark Energy Survey year 1 results: the relationship between mass and light around cosmic voids

      What are the mass and galaxy profiles of cosmic voids? In this paper, we use two methods to extract voids in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Year 1 redMaGiC galaxy sample to address this question. We use either 2D slices in projection, or the 3D distribution of galaxies based on photometric redshifts to identify voids. For the mass profile, we measure
