MAMMOTH-Subaru. V. Effects of Cosmic Variance on Lyα Luminosity Functions at z = 2.2–2.3
Cosmic variance introduces significant uncertainties into galaxy number density properties when surveying the high-redshift Universe with a small volume. Such uncertainties produce the field-to-field variance σ _g of galaxy numbers in observational astronomy, which significantly affects the luminosi...
