Halo Models of Large Scale Structure

TLDR
In this paper, the authors review the formalism and applications of the halo-based description of non-linear gravitational clustering, and demonstrate its accuracy by comparing its predictions with exact results from numerical simulations of nonlinear gravity clustering.

Planck 2013 results. XVI. Cosmological parameters

Peter A. R. Ade, +327 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the first cosmological results based on Planck measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and lensing-potential power spectra, which are extremely well described by the standard spatially-flat six-parameter ΛCDM cosmology with a power-law spectrum of adiabatic scalar perturbations.

Detection of the baryon acoustic peak in the large-scale correlation function of SDSS luminous red galaxies

Daniel J. Eisenstein, +51 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a large-scale correlation function measured from a spectroscopic sample of 46,748 luminous red galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey is presented, which demonstrates the linear growth of structure by gravitational instability between z ≈ 1000 and the present and confirms a firm prediction of the standard cosmological theory.

f(R) theories

TL;DR: Various applications of f(R) theories to cosmology and gravity — such as inflation, dark energy, local gravity constraints, cosmological perturbations, and spherically symmetric solutions in weak and strong gravitational backgrounds are reviewed.

The Structure of cold dark matter halos

TL;DR: In this article, high-resolution N-body simulations show that the density profiles of dark matter halos formed in the standard CDM cosmogony can be fit accurately by scaling a simple universal profile.

The Early Universe

TL;DR: In this article, the Robertson-Walker Metric is used to measure the radius of the Planck Epoch in the expanding universe, which is a measure of the number of atoms in the universe.

The large-scale structure of the universe

TL;DR: Peebles as discussed by the authors argues that the evolution of the early universe went from a nearly uniform initial state to a progressively more irregular and clumpy universe, based on the largest known structures of the universe.
