9 Some basic cosmology Deducing cosmological parameters Temperature derived from the WMAP 5-year data. Data are represented as points. All lines are for ΛCDM model with dierent parameters. Blue corresponds to Ωm = 0.27, Ωk = 0. Dark gray is made with Ωm = 0.27, Ωk = 0.1, while light curve corresponds to choice of Ωm = 0.17, Ωk = 0.1 Cosmological parameter bounds, calculated from dierent observations. Lines represent 99.7%, 95.4% and 68.3% condence. Neven ƒaplar () Unication models March 14, / 25

10 Some basic cosmology Age of Universe, t 0 in units of H 1 0 in relation to Ωm0. Full line represents at Universe in which Λ is present, so relation Ωm0 + Ω Λ0 = 1. Dashed line corresponds to Universe without cosmological constant. Full horizontal line bounds minimal age of Universe, as suggested by observations ( 11 Gyr). Age deduced by WMAP-5 measurements is also drawn (h 0 =0.7). Flat universe with Λ is in agreement with WMAP measurement for < Ωm < Neven ƒaplar () Unication models March 14, / 25
