Observed power spectrum of matter found in Papers I and II is compared with analytical power spectra. Spatially flat cold and mixed dark matter models with cosmological constant and open models are considered. The primordial power spectrum…

To test the primordial power spectra predicted by a double inflationary model with a break of amplitude $\Delta=3$ at a scale of $2\pi/k\approx 10 \hm$ and CDM as dominant matter content, we perform PM simulations with 128$^3$ particles on…
A new method to determine the bias parameter of galaxies relative to matter is suggested. The method is based on the assumption that gravity is the dominating force which determines the formation of the structure in the Universe. Due to…
We introduce the cosmic momentum field as a new measure of the large-scale peculiar velocity and matter fluctuation fields. The momentum field is defined as the peculiar velocity field traced and weighted by galaxies, and is equal to the…
A phenomenological power spectrum of primordial density perturbations has been constructed by using both COBE data to probe the large wavelength region, and a double power law, locally deduced from galaxy catalogs, which describes the…
Measurements of the galaxy power spectrum contain a wealth of information about the Universe. Its optimal extraction is vital if we are to truly understand the micro-physical nature of dark matter and dark energy. In Smith & Marian (2015)…
We present an analysis of the redshift-space power spectrum, $P(k)$, of rich clusters of galaxies based on an automated cluster catalogue selected from the APM Galaxy Survey. We find that $P(k)$ can be approximated by a power law,…
We measure the power spectrum of galaxy clustering in real space from the APM Galaxy Survey. We present an improved technique for the numerical inversion of Limber's equation that relates the angular clustering of galaxies to an integral…
We estimate the three-dimensional power spectrum of IRAS galaxies from the QDOT and $1.2$Jy redshift surveys. We use identical estimators for both surveys and show how the results depend on the weights assigned to the galaxies. The power…
The primordial matter power spectrum quantifies fluctuations in the distribution of dark matter immediately following inflation. Over cosmic time, over-dense regions of the primordial density field grow and collapse into dark matter halos,…
The APM Galaxy Survey maps the angular positions of more than one million galaxies to $b_{J} = 20$, covering a volume comparable to the forthcoming Sloan Digital Sky Survey. A numerical algorithm has been developed to estimate the power…

The distribution of Abell-ACO clusters of galaxies shows that clusters located in rich superclusters form a quasiregular network with step size 120 Mpc. The power spectrum of clusters of galaxies has a sharp peak at a wavelength equal to…
The peculiar motions of galaxies can be used to infer the distribution of matter in the Universe. It has recently been shown that measurements of the peculiar velocity field indicates an anomalously high bulk flow of galaxies in our local…
