Effects of the size of cosmological N-Body simulations on physical quantities - III: Skewness

Understand

N-Body simulations are an important tool in the study of formation of large scale structures.

• Much of the progress in understanding the physics of galaxy clustering and comparison with observations would not have been possible without N-Body simulations.
• Given the importance of this tool, it is essential to understand its limitations as ignoring these can easily lead to interesting but unreliable results.
• In this paper we study the limitations due to the finite size of the simulation volume.
