[Gabriella Schiulaz]

I announce you Thursday’s special seminar at OATs:

*********************************************************** 
                 SEMINARIO ECCEZIONALE 
*********************************************************** 

Speaker: Daniele Bertacca (Physics Department, University of the Western Cape, South Africa)

Title: Correlation function on very large scales 

Date: Thursday, December 12th, 2013 
Time: 11:30 
Venue: Villa Bazzoni (Via Bazzoni, 2)

*********************************************************** 
Abstract We extend previous analyses of wide-angle correlations in the galaxy power spectrum in redshift space to include all general relativistic effects. These general relativistic corrections to the standard approach become important on large scales and at high redshifts, and they lead to new terms in the wide-angle correlations. We show that in principle the new terms can produce corrections of nearly 10% on Gpc scales over the usual Newtonian approximation. General relativistic corrections will be important for future large-volume surveys such as SKA and Euclid.
