"What Can Galaxy Cluster Evolution Tell Us About The Universe?"


James Robinson
University of California at Berkeley

Abstract:

I will show that a modified version of the Press-Schechter formalism can give a good fit to the cluster evolution observed in N-body simulations of non-gaussian stucture formation models. Using this fact, I will discuss the constraints which cluster observations can place on primordial non-gaussianity and the matter content of the universe.
