20 Results: weighing the universe baryons ordinary matter makes up merely 4 percent of the entire mass of the universe dark matter dark energy galaxies and clusters are surrounded by invisible mass an order-of-magnitude more massive than their visible part unknown elementary particles? universe is dominated by even more exotic component! homogeneously fills the universe (unclustered) repulsive force (negative pressure; equation of state:p= ) Einstein s cosmological constant?

Univ. A dedicated small satellite with cost < 40M USD. Proposed launch in 2008 (not yet approved). Unprecedented energy spectral resolution: E=2eV in soft X-ray band (0.1-1keV) Aim at detection of 30 percent of the total cosmic baryons via Oxygen emission lines. Weighing the universe 27

36 Conclusion: 99% of the universe is DARK Quite frustrating We finally realized that we have not yet understood 99% of the universe at all! (dark baryons 3%) cosmological observations in the 20 th century have identified previously unknown hierarchy of matter beyond the standard model of particle physics one needs to understand the meaning of cosmological parameters beyond mere precise estimates of their values from how much to why ( Weighing the universe 36
