COBE-normalized flat (matter plus cosmological constant) and open Cold Dark Matter (CDM) models are tested by comparing their expected Hubble flow variations and the observed variations in a Type Ia supernova sample and a Tully Fisher…
We study the cluster mass function in mixed dark matter (MDM) models, using two COBE normalized simulations with Omega_h = 0.26 and n=1.2, and Omega_h = 0.14 and n = 1.05, both with 2 massive nu's (MDM1 and MDM2, respectively). For the sake…
Using numerical simulations, we investigate the large-scale gravitational clustering in a flat universe dominated by cold plus hot dark matter (i.e., $\Omega_0=\ocdm+\ohdm+\obaryon=1$). Primordial density fluctuation spectrum is taken to…
We report on work in progress by the Virgo consortium, a collaboration set up to carry out large simulations of the formation of galaxies and large-scale structure exploiting the latest generation of parallel supercomputers. We show results…
We investigate galaxy clustering and galaxy-mass correlations in the LCDM cosmological model using a large volume SPH simulation. For the most part, the predicted biases between galaxies and dark matter lead to good agreement with current…
Goodness-of-fit statistics are used to quantitatively establish the compatibility of CMB anisotropy predictions in a wide range of DMR-normalized, open and spatially-flat $\Lambda$, CDM cosmogonies with the set of all presently available…
This paper investigates whether nonlinear gravitational instability can account for the clustering of galaxies on large and small scales, and for the evolution of clustering with epoch. No CDM-like spectrum is consistent with the shape of…
We use data from the ARGO cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy experiment to constrain cosmogonies. We account for the ARGO beamwidth and calibration uncertainties, and marginalize over the offset removed from the data. Our derived…
Standard $\Omega_0=1$ cold dark matter (CDM) needs $0.27 < \sigma_8 < 0.63$ ($2\sigma$) to fit the observed number of large separation lenses, and the constraint is nearly independent of $H_0=100h^{-1}\kms$ Mpc$^{-1}$. This range is…
We consider structure formation and CMB anisotropies in a closed universe, both with and without a cosmological constant. The CMB angular power spectrum and the matter transfer function are presented, along with a discussion of their…
I discuss the Hubble parameter $H_0$, the age of the universe $t_0$, the density $\Omega_0$, and the cosmological constant $\Lambda$. To focus the discussion, I concentrate on the issue of the value of the density $\Omega_0$ in currently…
We present results of N-body/gasdynamical simulations designed to investigate the evolution of X-ray clusters in a flat, low-density, cold dark matter (CDM) cosmogony. The density profile of the dark matter component can be fitted rather…
We generalize previous work on early photoionization to CDM models with Omega<1. Such models have received recent interest because the excess power in the large-scale galaxy distribution is phenomenologically fit if the ``shape parameter"…
We present an analysis of cosmological models with mixed dark matter (spectrum slope of density perturbations $n_S \in [0.6, 1.6]$, hot dark matter abundance $\Omega_\nu \in [0.0, 0.6]$) in spatially flat Universe, based on Press-Schechter…
Because the baryon-to-photon ratio eta_{10} is in some doubt, we drop nucleosynthetic constraints on eta_{10} and fit the three cosmological parameters (h, Omega_M, eta_{10}) to four observational constraints: Hubble parameter h_o =…
We use N-body simulations to investigate the structure of dark halos in the standard Cold Dark Matter cosmogony. Halos are excised from simulations of cosmologically representative regions and are resimulated individually at high…
We place constraints on the average density (Omega_m) and clustering amplitude (sigma_8) of matter using a combination of two measurements from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: the galaxy two-point correlation function, w_p, and the…
We use N-body simulations to study the shape of mean cluster density and velocity profiles formed via gravitational instability. The dependence of the final structure on both cosmology and initial density field is examined, using a grid of…
We use large-scale cosmological simulations to estimate the mass-to-light ratio of galaxy systems as a function of scale, and compare the results with observations of galaxies, groups, clusters, and superclusters of galaxies. We find…
The population of rich galaxy clusters evolves much more rapidly in a universe with critical density than one with low density, thus offering the possibility of determining the cosmological density parameter, Omega_0. We quantify this…
