1 Testing gravity on cosmological scales with the observed abundance of massive clusters David Rapetti, KIPAC (Stanford/SLAC) In collaboration with Steve Allen (KIPAC), Adam Mantz (KIPAC), Harald Ebeling (Hawaii)

2 Outline * We have pursued/developed two different and complementary experiments that use X-ray luminous galaxy clusters to constrain cosmology: 1. Gas mass fraction (f gas ): distances to galaxy clusters 2. Abundance of massive galaxy clusters: growth of cosmic structure * We measure properties of: 1. Dark matter, dark energy 2. Cluster astrophysics 3. Gravity on large scales 4. Neutrinos 5. Etc * Current observations are in agreement with the cosmological constant plus cold dark matter (ΛCDM) paradigm (constant w=-1). We perform a number of (complementary) tests on different properties of this paradigm: 1. Evolution of the dark energy equation of state, w(z). 2. The growth rate of General Relativity. 3. Etc

3 The growth of structure experiment e.g. Henry 00, 04, 08; Borgani et al 01, 06; Reiprich & Bohringer 02; Seljak 02; Viana et al 02; Allen et al 03; Pierpaoli et al 03; Schuecker et al 03; Voevodkin &Vikhlinin 04; Kravtsov et al 06; Dahle 06; Mantz et al 08; Vikhlinin et al 08, 09; Mantz et al 09a, 09b

6 Mantz et al 09b Scaling relations data Best fit for all the data (survey+follow-up+other data). Both, power law, self-similar, constant log-normal scatter. * Crucial: self-consistent and simultaneous analysis of survey+follow-up data, accounting for selection biases, degeneracies, covariances, and systematic uncertainties. * Data does not require additional evolution beyond self-similar (see tests in Mantz et al 09b) * Important cluster astrophysics conclusions (see Mantz et al 09b)

12 Testing General Relativity Rapetti et al 09a, 09b

13 Motivation: Theory 1. Cosmic acceleration measurement + cosmological constant problem (from fundamental theory) 2. In the Friedmann equation: we can either include a new component, dark energy, or modify the theory of gravity [e.g. DGP, f(r), etc.]. (There are also other possibilities such as non-frw metrics, etc.) 3. Test General Relativity (GR). 4. Note that GR has been very well tested from small to Solar system scales. Here we test modifications of GR at cosmological scales.

14 Motivation: Data 1. Abundance of massive clusters (XLF) to measure cosmic growth of matter fluctuations with respect to the mean density. 2. SNIa, fgas, CMB, BAO to measure the cosmic expansion of the background density. We use three expansion histories well fitted by these data sets. E(a) = H(a)/H 0 i) flat ΛCDM w=-1, Ω k =0 ii) flat wcdm w constant, Ω k =0 iii) non-flat ΛCDM w=-1, Ω k constant

15 Modeling linear, time-dependent departures from GR variance of the density fluctuations Linear power spectrum General Relativity Phenomenological parameterization GR γ~0.55 Scale independent in the synchronous gauge Growth rate

16 Consistency test of the growth rate of General Relativity 1. We use a time-dependent parameterization (growth rate as a function of redshift). 2. We assume the same scale-dependence as GR. 3. We test only for linear effects (not for non-linear effects). We use the universal dark matter halo mass function (Tinker et al 08). 4. We match GR at early times and small scales.

17 Integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect Rapetti et al 09a The ISW effect is also sensitive to the growth rate. For CMB data we consistently account for the ISW, but currently the constraints on γ are not competitive with XLF

18 Investigating luminosity-mass evolution Within the 238 flux-selected clusters we used pointed observations for 23 clusters (z<0.2) from ROSAT 71 clusters (z>0.2) from Chandra Mass-luminosity and its intrinsic scatter "l(m)# = $ 0 lm + $ 1 lm m + $ 2 lm log 10 (1+ z) " lm (z) = " lm (1+ # " lm z) # L l = log 500 & # M 10 % (; m = log 500 E(z) & $ E(z)10 44 erg s "1 10 % ( ' $ M solar '

19 flat ΛCDM + growth index γ Rapetti et al 09b XLF: BCS+REFLEX+MACS (z<0.5) 238 survey with 94 X-ray follow-up CMB (WMAP5) SNIa (Kowalski et al 08, UNION) cluster f gas (Allen et al 08) For General Relativity γ~0.55 Gold: Self-similar evolution and constant scatter Blue: Marginalizing over β lm 2 and σ lm Remarkably these constraints are only a factor of ~3 weaker than those forecasted for JDEMtype experiments (e.g. Thomas 08, Linder 09).

20 GR results robust w.r.t evolution in the luminosity-mass relation Rapetti et al 09b "l(m)# = $ 0 lm + $ 1 lm m + $ 2 lm log 10 (1+ z) " lm (z) = " lm (1+ # " lm z) Current data do not require (i.e. acceptable fit) additional evolution beyond selfsimilar and constant scatter nor asymmetric scatter (Mantz et al 09b).

23 The impacts of the different data sets Rapetti et al 09a Green, dotted-dashed line: XLF alone Red, dashed line: SNIa+fgas+BAO+CMB(ISW) Blue, solid line: XLF+SNIa+fgas+BAO+CMB

25 The impacts of the different data sets Rapetti et al 09b Red: clusters (XLF+fgas) Green: clusters+snia Blue: clusters+snia+bao Gold: clusters+snia+bao+cmb Adding the CMB leads to a tight correlation between σ 8 and γ thanks to the constraints on several cosmological parameters: $ " # ' 8 & ) % 0.8( = 0.55 *0.10 Tight correlation between σ 8 and γ: " = #0.87

26 Conclusions For the first time, simultaneous and self-consistent analysis of the X-ray survey and follow-up data accounting for survey biases, systematic uncertainties and parameter degeneracies. We use follow-up Chandra and ROSAT data within a wide redshift range and the gas mass as total mass proxy (f gas low scatter). We obtain the tightest constraints on w for a single experiment from measurements of the growth of cosmic structure in clusters (flat wcdm): w = Combining XLF+f gas +SNIa+CMB+BAO we obtain: w 0 = , w et = We have performed a consistency test of General Relativity (growth rate) using cluster growth data: BCS+REFLEX+Bright MACS, T08 mass function, 94 clusters with X-ray follow-up observations; and cosmological (background) data from f gas +SNIa+CMB+BAO. We obtain a tight correlation γ(σ 8 /0.8) 6.8 = for the flat ΛCDM model. This promises significant improvements on γ by using independent constraints on σ 8. Our results are robust when allowing additional evolution in the luminosity-mass relation and its scatter. Simultaneously fitting γ and w and data is consistent with GR+ΛCDM. Our results highlight the importance of X-ray cluster data to test dark energy and modified gravity models. Future: more MACS and Chandra data, Spectrum-RG/eROSITA and WFXT, Astro-H, IXO, plus SZ and optical surveys (the same techniques developed here can be applied).
