Cosmological results from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey | | Matthew Colless
; | | Date: |
5 May 2003 | | Subject: | astro-ph | | Abstract: | The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) has produced a three-dimensional map of the distribution of 221,000 galaxies covering 5% of the sky and reaching out to a redshift z=0.3. This is first map of the large-scale structure in the local Universe to probe a statistically representative volume, and provides direct evidence that the large-scale structure of the Universe grew through gravitational instability. Measurements of the correlation function and power spectrum of the galaxy distribution have provided precise measurements of the mean mass density of the Universe and the relative contributions of cold dark matter, baryons, and neutrinos. The survey has produced the first measurements of the galaxy bias parameter and its variation with galaxy luminosity and type. Joint analysis of the 2dFGRS and cosmic microwave background power spectra gives independent new estimates for the Hubble constant and the vacuum energy density, and constrains the equation of state of the vacuum. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0305051 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
