The Power Spectrum of Clusters of Galaxies and the Press-Schechter approximation

M. Gramann and Ivan Suhhonenko

ApJ 519, 433, 1999

The power spectrum of clusters in the Press-Schechter theory and in N-body simulations is examined to see how the power spectrum of clusters is related to the power spectrum of matter density fluctuations in the Universe. One possible explanation for the observed power spectra of clusters is an inflationary scenario with a scalar field with potential that has a localized steplike feature.
