1 The Metric and The Dynamics r τ c t a () t + r + Sin φ ( kr ) The RW metric tell us where in a 3 dimension space is an event and at which proper time. The coordinates of the event do not change as a function of time but the coordinate system will change as a function of the proper time because of the expansion factor a(t). The geometry is determined by the value of k -,, +. Cosmology 4_5

4 The Models and The Cosmological Parameters Here we derive the observable as a function of different cosmological parameters. The goal is to derive a fairly complete set of equations useful for data reduction. See also the following set discussing the relation to geometry and some applications. Cosmology 4_5 4

27 Integration, Mattig solution see transparencies The problem is to derive the solution of the Friedmann equations. In other words we want to have r or better a r as a function of observable as z, Ω, H We assume for now Λ.

39 Generalities As we have seen we can integrate for a dust Universe. We can derive a compact equation also when we account for a Matter + Radiation Universe. It is impossible to integrate if we account also for the cosmological constant or Vacuum Energy. In this case we must integrate numerically. On the other hand we must also remember, as we will see shortly that the present Universe is a Dust Universe so that what is needed to the observer are the equations we are able to integrate. Recent results, however, both on the Hubble relation using Supernovae and on the MWB, with Boomeramg and WMAP, have shown that the cosmological constant is dominant and Ω tot so that we should use such relations.

42 Distance In a different way I have a standard source emitting a flash of light at the time t em. If the photons emitted are N em a telescope of Area A would receive, disregarding expansion and considering the physical distance is a(t em ) r, A / 4 π (a(t em ) r) photons. However the Universe is expanding and at the time of detection the area of the sphere where the photons arrive as expanded to 4 π (a(t obs ) r). That is N em /N detected A / (a(t obs ) r) We have to take into account of two more factors:. Photons are redshifted so that their energy changes by a factor za(t obs )/a(t em ). The time between flashes δt at the source increases by a factor (+z). This also corresponds to a loss of Energy per Unit Area of the telescope. The Luminosity distance can be defined as: L Flux 4π a t r z ( + ) Ω ( + ) L ( + ) Ω ( + ) Ω L L 4π d L dl a( t) r ( + z) for dust 4π Flux ar Ωz+ Ω Ωz c + + H z zsmall + Ωz + Ωz Ωz+ Ω z Ωz c c Ω z ar H z H z d c v z H H Cosmology 4_5 4
