Third-order Perturbation Theory With Non-linear Pressure (2009)

Shoji, Masatoshi, Komatsu, Eiichiro

We calculate the non-linear matter power spectrum using the 3rd-order perturbation theory without ignoring the pressure gradient term. We consider a semi-realistic system consisting of two matter...

Extracting Angular Diameter Distance and Expansion Rate of the Universe from Two-dimensional Galaxy Power Spectrum at High Redshifts: Baryon Acoustic Oscillation Fitting versus Full Modeling (2008)

Shoji, Masatoshi, Jeong, Donghui, Komatsu, Eiichiro

We present a method for extracting the angular diameter distances, $D_A$, and the expansion rates, $H$, of the universe from the {\it two-dimensional} Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) in the galaxy...

Discovery of Polarization Reverberation in NGC 4151 (2007)

Gaskell, C. Martin, Goosman, Rene W., Merkulova, Nelly I., Shakhovskoy, Nikolay M., Shoji, Masatoshi

Observations of the optical polarization of NGC 4151 in 1997-2003 show variations of an order of magnitude in the polarized flux while the polarization position angle remains constant. The amplitude...

DISCOVERY OF POLARIZATION REVERBERATION IN NGC 4151 (2007)

Gaskell, C. M., Goosmann, Rene W., Merkulova, Nelly I., Shakhovskoy, Nikolay M., Shoji, Masatoshi

Observations of the optical polarization of NGC 4151 in 1997-2003 show variations of an order of magnitude in the polarized flux while the polarization position angle remains constant. The amplitude...

Modeling the Polarization of Dusty Scattering Cones in Active Galactic Nuclei (2007)

Goosmann, René W., Gaskell, C. M., Shoji, Masatoshi

We have used the STOKES radiative transfer code, to model polarization induced by dust scattering in the polar regions of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). We discuss the wavelength-dependence of the...
