Analysis of the Large Scale Structure with Deep Pencil Beam Surveys

摘要: Recent observations of the large scale structure universe suggest inhomogeneities on scales larger than previously thought. A deep redshift survey with a ‘pencil beam’ geometry galaxies at Galactic Poles indicates strong clustering, provocative regularity exceeding 100 h -1 Mpc. We examine in detail role such surveys studies using 1-D power spectrum distribution to illustrate statistical significance feature claimed by Broadhurst etal (1990). demonstrate how probes complement sparse-sampled wide angle local providing new information scales. To test results found from our original survey, we future sampling strategies that would delineate topology more clearly and briefly discuss implications theories accounting for origin structure. quantify sensitivity pencil beam large-scale structures compare them sparse sampled wide-angle surveys. In particular, also present detailed analysis Pole data set, show it remains significant 2×10-4 level.
