Large Scale Structure
of the Universe
Evolution of the LSS – a brief history
Somewhat after recombination -density perturbations are small on nearly all spatial scales.
Dark Ages, prior to z=10 -density perturbations in dark matter and baryons grow;
on smaller scales perturbations have gone non-linear, d>>1;
small (low mass) dark matter halos form; massive stars
form in their potential wells and reionize the Universe.
z=2 -Most galaxies have formed; they are bright with stars;
this is also the epoch of highest quasar activity;
galaxy clusters are forming. In LCDM growth of structure
on large (linear) scales has nearly stopped, but smaller
non-linear scales continue to evolve.
z=0 -Small galaxies continue to get merged to form larger ones;
in an open and lambda universes large scale (>10-100Mpc)
potential wells/hill are decaying, giving rise to late ISW.

Growth rate of a density perturbation depends on epoch log(rcomov)
(i.e. what component dominates global expansion dynamics at that time),
and whether a perturbation k-mode is super- or sub-horizon.

Look for correlation between CMB temperature fluctuations and nearby structure.
Detection of late ISW effect in a flat universe is direct evidence of Dark Energy
Detecting late ISW
Late ISW is detected as a cross-correlation, CCF
on the sky between nearby large scale structure
and temperature fluctuations in the CMB.

Quantifying LSS on linear and non-linear scales
The power spectrum
quantifies clustering
on spatial scales larger
than the sizes of
individual collapsed
halos
The 2pt correlation fcn
is another way to quantify
clustering of a continuous
fluctuating density field, or
a distribution of discrete
objects, like collapsed DM
halos.
these are Fourier transforms
of each other
The mass function of
discrete objects is
the number density of
collapsed dark matter
halos as a function of
mass - n(M)dM.
This was evaluated
analytically by
Press & Schechter (1974)
Picture credit: A. Kravtsov, http://cosmicweb.uchicago.edu/filaments.html
Internal structure of
individual collapsed halos:
one can use an analytical
description for mildly nonlinear regimes, but numerical
N-body simulations are
needed to deal with fully
non-linear regimes.
Correlation functions
Two-point correlation function is a
measure of the degree of clustering.
It is a function of distance r only,  (r ) .
Suppose we are told that
 (r )  (r / 5Mpc)-1.8.
What does that mean?
If you are sitting on a galaxy, the probability dP
that you will find another galaxy in a volume
dV a distance r away from you is given by
dP  n dV [1   (r )]
where n = average number density
of galaxies.
best fit line
Alternative definition:
take two small volumes distance r apart;
the joint probability that you will find a galaxy
in either one of the two dV volumes a distance r
apart is given by.
dP  n2 dV1 dV2 [1  (r )]

dV2
r

dP is the number of galaxies you expect to find
in a volume dV.

Estimating 2pt correlation function
How does one calculate the 2pt correlation function given a distribution
of galaxies is space? – Count the number of pairs of galaxies for every  ( r )
value of separation r. Then divide this histogram by the number of pairs
expected if the spatial distribution of galaxies were random, and subtract 1.

For galaxies, correlation length is ~5 Mpc,
for rich galaxy clusters it is ~25 Mpc.

Mass function of collapsed halos: Press-Schechter
Smoothly fluctuating density field; randomly scattered
equal volume spheres, each has some overdensity d.
Some of these volumes will have a large enough
overdensity (dc>1.69) that they will eventually
collapse and form gravitationally bound objects.

given cosmic epoch?

So far we have been mostly concerned with dark matter halos. The distribution
DM halos in mass is continuous from ~109 to ~1015 Msun. But, DM halos with
M>few x 1012Msun are not observed to host galaxies, only clusters of galaxies. Why?
