V assanji, M. G.

Abstract: Author of six novels and two collections of short stories, and the only two‐time winner of Canada's prestigious Giller Prize for fiction, M. G. Vassanji engages themes that include multiple diasporas, interracial tension and religious intolerance, immigrant communities, history and memory, the relationship between the personal and the political, and the use of stories to link people to their past. His only non‐fiction work so far, A Place Within: Rediscovering India (2008), is both trav… Show more

“…We estimate values of Ωm in line with previous measurements. We also find a growth rate of structure of ∼ 0.3, in line with the estimate by Davis et al (2011), but somewhat lower than most other estimates. Hong et al (2014) used a χ 2 minimization technique with Gaussian window function at depths of 20, 30, and 40 h −1 Mpc to measure the bulk flow of the 2MTF velocity field.…”

“…This then gives us f σ8 = βσ8,g = 0.30 ± 0.04 and 0.34 ± 0.04 for the 'fixed' and 'fit' cases respectively. These values are comparable to f σ8 = 0.31 ± 0.05, as found by Davis et al (2011), but somewhat lower than the f σ8 = 0.42 ± 0.07 found by Turnbull et al (2012), the f σ8 = 0.42 ± 0.06 found by Beutler et al (2012), and the f σ8 = 0.418 ± 0.065 found by Johnson et al (2014). The value also falls below both the WMAP-9yr value of 0.41 ± 0.02 and the Planck 2015 data release value of 0.44 ± 0.01.…”

“…The density/velocity field reconstructions have also been derived using galaxy samples selected from the 2MASS XSC catalog (Jarrett et al 2000), e.g. Pike & Hudson (2005), Erdogdu et al (2006), Lavaux et al (2010), Davis et al (2011). Recently Erdogdu et al (2014, submitted), using the deeper Ks = 11.75 limited version of the 2MASS Redshift Survey (2MRS, Huchra et al 2012), have derived an updated reconstruction of the 2MASS density/velocity field.…”
