We find that the observed log N - log S relation of X-ray clusters can be reproduced remarkably well with a certain range of values for the fluctuation amplitude $sigma_8$ and the cosmological density parameter $Omega_0$ in cold dark matter (CDM) universes. The $1sigma$ confidence limits on $sigma_8$ in the CDM models with $n=1$ and $h = 0.7$ are expressed as $(0.54 pm 0.02) Omega_0^{-0.35-0.82Omega_0+0.55Omega_0^2}$ ($lambda_0=1-Omega_0$) and $(0.54 pm 0.02) Omega_0^{-0.28-0.91Omega_0+0.68Omega_0^2}$ ($lambda_0=0$), where $n$ is the primordial spectral index, and $h$ and $lambda_0$ are the dimensionless Hubble and cosmological constants. The errors quoted above indicate the statistical ones from the observed log N - log S only, and the systematic uncertainty from our theoretical modelling of X-ray flux in the best-fit value of $sigma_8$ is about 15%. In the case of $n=1$, we find that the CDM models with $(Omega_0,lambda_0,h,sigma_8) simeq (0.3,0.7,0.7,1)$ and $(0.45, 0, 0.7, 0.8)$ simultaneously account for the cluster log N - log$S$, X-ray temperature functions, and the normalization from the COBE 4 year data. The derived values assume the observations are without systematic errors, and we discuss in details other theoretical uncertainties which may change the limits on $Omega_0$ and $sigma_8$ from the log N - log S relation. We have shown the power of this new approach which will become a strong tool as the observations attain more precision.
Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) surveys are promising probes of cosmology - in particular for Dark Energy (DE) -, given their ability to find distant clusters and provide estimates for their mass. However, current SZ catalogs contain tens to hundreds of objec
We use the number counts of X-ray selected normal galaxies to explore their evolution by combining the most recent wide-angle shallow and pencil-beam deep samples available. The differential X-ray number counts, dN/dS, for early and late-type normal
We revisit a cosmological constraint on dark matter decaying into dark radiation at late times. In Enqvist et al. (2015), we mainly focused on the effects of decaying dark matter (DDM) on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and nonlinear matter pow
The behaviour of the X-ray number counts of normal galaxies at faint (-18<Log F<-15 cgs in the 0.5-2.0 keV band) fluxes is investigated. The joint use of information from radio, far infrared and X-ray surveys allows the determination of the LogN-LogS
Radio source counts constrain galaxy populations and evolution, as well as the global star formation history. However, there is considerable disagreement among the published 1.4-GHz source counts below 100 microJy. Here we present a statistical metho
