AbstractWe propose a new method to explore a possible departure from the standard time evolution law for the dark matter density. We looked for a violation of this law by using a deformed evolution law, given by $$\rho _c(z) \propto (1+z)^{3+\epsilon }$$ ρ c ( z ) ∝ ( 1 + z ) 3 + ϵ , and then constrain $$\epsilon $$ ϵ . The dataset used for this purpose consists of Strong Gravitational Lensing data obtained from SLOAN Lens ACS, BOSS Emission-line Lens Survey, Strong Legacy Survey SL2S, and SLACS; along with galaxy cluster X-ray gas mass fraction measurements obtained using the Chandra Telescope. Our analyses show that $$\epsilon $$ ϵ is consistent with zero within 1 $$\sigma $$ σ c.l., but the current dataset cannot rule out with high confidence level interacting models of dark matter and dark energy.

AbstractIn this paper, we implement a test of the standard law for the dark matter density evolution as a function of redshift. For this purpose, only a flat universe and the validity of the FRW metric are assumed. A deformed dark matter density evolution law is considered, given by $$\rho _c(z) \propto (1+z)^{3+\epsilon }$$ ρ c ( z ) ∝ ( 1 + z ) 3 + ϵ , and constraints on $$\epsilon $$ ϵ are obtained by combining the galaxy cluster gas mass fractions with cosmic chronometers measurements. We find that $$\epsilon =0$$ ϵ = 0 within 2$$\sigma $$ σ c.l., in full agreement with other recent analyses.

The evidence for the existence of very large scale structures, ∼ 100h−1Mpc in size, as derived from the spatial distribution of clusters of galaxies is summarized. Detection of a ∼ 2000 kms−1 elongation in the redshift direction in the distribution of the clusters is also described. Possible causes of the effect are peculiar velocities of clusters on scales of 10–100h−1Mpc and geometrical elongation of superclusters. If the effect is entirely due to the peculiar velocities of clusters, then superclusters have masses of order 1016.5M⊙ and may contain a larger amount of dark matter than previously anticipated.

ABSTRACT The standard cosmological paradigm currently lacks a detailed account of physics in the dark sector, the dark matter and energy that dominate cosmic evolution. In this paper, we consider the distinguishing factors between three alternative models – warm dark matter, quintessence, and coupled dark matter–energy – and lambda cold dark matter (ΛCDM) through numerical simulations of cosmological structure formation. Key halo statistics – halo spin/velocity alignment between large-scale structure and neighbouring haloes, halo formation time, and migration – were compared across cosmologies within the redshift range 0 ≤ z ≤ 2.98. We found the alignment of halo motion and spin to large-scale structures and neighbouring haloes to be similar in all cosmologies for a range of redshifts. The search was extended to low-density regions, avoiding non-linear disturbances of halo spins, yet very similar alignment trends were found between cosmologies, which are difficult to characterize and use as a probe of cosmology. We found that haloes in quintessence cosmologies form earlier than their ΛCDM counterparts. Relating this to the fact that such haloes originate in high-density regions, such findings could hold clues to distinguishing factors for the quintessence cosmology from the standard model. However, in general, halo statistics are not an accurate probe of the dark sector physics.

A statistically significant (99.1%) excess of red galaxies from the APM Sky Catalogue is found around a sample of z ∼ 1 1Jy radio sources. The most plausible explanation for this result seems to be the magnification bias caused by the weak gravitational lensing of large scale structures at intermediate redshifts.

AbstractFocus Meeting 6 of the IAU 2015 Symposium centered around the topic of “X-ray Surveys of the Hot and Energetic Universe.” Within this two-day meeting seven sessions (31 total talks) were presented, whose topics included galaxy cluster physics and evolution, cluster cosmological studies, AGN demographics and X-ray binary populations, first quasars, accretion and feedback, large-scale structures, and normal and starburst galaxies. Herein, I summarize the results presented during session #5, which focused on AGN accretion and feedback. Six authors contributed their work to our session: Laura Brenneman, Kazushi Iwasawa, Massimo Gaspari, Michaela Hirschmann, Franz Bauer and Yuan Liu. I provide a brief introduction below, followed by the details of the presentations of each author in the order in which the presentations were given.
