Cosmic Crystallography of the Second Order

The cosmic crystallography method of Lehoucq et al. [1] produces sharp peaks in the distribution of distances between the images of cosmic sources. But the method cannot be applied to universes with compact spatial sections of negative curvature. We apply to these a second order crystallographic effect, as evidenced by statistical parameters.

Cosmic Crystallography in Compact Hyperbolic Universes

We try to apply the cosmic crystallography method of Lehoucq, Lachieze-Rey, and Luminet to a universe model with closed spatial section of negative curvature. But the sharp peaks predicted for Einstein-de Sitter closed models do not appear in our hyperbolic example. So we turn to a variant of that method, by subtracting from the distribution of distances between images in the closed model, the similar distribution in Friedmann's open model. The result is a plot with much oscillation in small scales, modulated by a long wavelength quasi-sinusoidal pattern.
