4 Cosmic energy budget 2011 dark energy 72 neutrinos 1 atoms 4 dark matter 23 Standard model of cosmology indicates that the universe consists of 95% dark physics What do these numbers mean? Where do we get them from? Is this a measurement of the energy content of the universe? A. Wiegand (Universität Bielefeld) Fluctuations of cosmic parameters Kosmologietag / 21
5 Parameters of the standard model Perhaps. A priori they are the values of the global standard model parameters Ω m := 8πG 3H 2 ϱ Ω k := k a 2 H 2 Ω Λ := Λ 3H 2 Sloan Digital Sky Survey that, by the Friedmann equation, add up to one Ω m + Ω k + Ω Λ = 1 Basic model assumption: homogeneity and isotropy. But locally the universe is inhomogeneous A. Wiegand (Universität Bielefeld) Fluctuations of cosmic parameters Kosmologietag / 21

7 Measurement of cosmic parameters Parameters determined from the concordant results of dierent measurements Main experimental probes: CMB, SN IA, BAO/structure, H 0 Only the CMB is a global in that it probes the largest scales Particle Data Group Physics Letters B 667 (2008) A.

8 Importance of local parameter measurements WMAP 5 arxiv: HST Key Project arxiv:astro-ph/ WMAP has to be complemented with local measurements to give non degenerate results One possibility: H 0 Measurement in the local universe. A. Wiegand (Universität Bielefeld) Fluctuations of cosmic parameters Kosmologietag / 21
9 Why consider uctuations? Basic question: How typical is our local environment where we draw our data from? To address this question: Describe the local environment as average over inhomogeneous distribution A. Wiegand (Universität Bielefeld) Fluctuations of cosmic parameters Kosmologietag / 21
