1 Lecture 7:Our Universe 1. Traditional Cosmological tests Theta-z Galaxy counts Tolman Surface Brightness test 2. Modern tests HST Key Project (H o ) Nucleosynthesis (Ω b ) BBN+Clusters (Ω M ) SN1a (Ω M & Ω Λ ) CMB (Ω k & Ω R ) 3. Latest parameters 4. Advanced tests (conceptually) CMB Anisotropies Galaxy Power Spectrum Course Text: Chapter 6 & 7 Wikipedia: Dark Energy, Cosmological constant, Age of Universe
2 Cosmological tests The proper distance, d p, is the critical expression to test in all experiments Find a standard candle in luminosity or size. Measure that quantity to a large redshift Compare distance or angle and redshift to constrain Ωs Tests geometry not dynamics Typically we test either: Angular size v distance, e.g., cluster size, radio lobes, CMB anisotropy Luminosity v distance, e.g., SNIa, Bright Cluster Galaxies Number-density v distance, e.g., Space-density of galaxies, galaxy counts Above all test geometric effects not dynamics: Test in planning with ELT which will look at dynamics (i.e., re-measure redshift after a small time interval to measure change with time).
3 Theta-z Assume radio lobes of radio galaxies are constant in size. Popular test in s Provided first indication that model makes sense Idea: In a Euclidean Universe:!! 1 d θ Fixed Rod In a curved Universe:! 1, d a = f (" M " R " k " #, z) d a θ Fixed Rod
4 Curvature
5 Theta-z relation
6 Radio lobe data While demonstrating the effect expected the radio lobe data was never accurate enough to distinguish between models. Main concern was evolution of the radio lobes. However test was reborn when CMB anisotropies were discovered. Radio Lobes Quasar
7 Current Theta-z Recent observations use compact radio sources
8 Galaxy Number Counts In 1936 Hubble proposed using galaxy counts to measure geometry If galaxies uniformly distributed then expect differential number v magnitude to be different. 200 telescope at Mt Palomar constructed FLAT CONTRACTING EUCLIDEAN Number-counts per dm interval OPEN EXPANDING FLAT EXPANDING CLOSED EXPANDING Apparent magnitude
9 Volumes in expanding space For very small triangle number of squares is roughly the same. As the triangle grows the number of squares sampled becomes noticeably different: closed = increase in squares falls off flat = squares increase linearly open=squares increase faster than linear.
10
11 Galaxy counts EUCLIDEAN Ω M =1 Ω Λ =0
12 Galaxy Counts Main problem again evolution (Tinsley et al) Attempts made to isolate elliptical Galaxies which should have least evolution but then Errors dominated by ability to identify Ellipticals. Neuschaefer et al. G-Based Casertano et al. HST(WF/PC) Driver et al. HST(WFPC2) Classification uncertainty Galaxy count work no longer used for Cosmology but to study galaxy evolution Fig. 2
13 Tolman SB test Proposed in 1930s In static Euclidean Universe SB is distance independent In an expanding Universe it depends on the curvature (1+z) -4 in a flat Universe Results supported notion of expansion but once again test too crude for precision cosmology
14 Classical tests All three tests showed the general effect expected Sizes fall more slowly than expected Galaxy counts not linear but drop off Surface brightness not distance independent But all were plagued by evolution of the standard candle Radio lobes will evolve and grow with time Galaxies evolve getting brighter/fainter/more numerous etc. Because galaxies get brighter SB is also affected. From 1980s the era of discovery cosmology began powered by new facilities and supercomputers By 2000 the Concordance Model emerged But its an odd set of params. in many ways
15 Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, Ω b See Lecture 2. Abundance measurements of the light elements tightly constrain the baryon density. Perhaps more importantly the independent measures of the different light elements all concur.! b h 2 ~ 0.02, h = H o 100! b ~ 0.04
16 BBN+Cluster M/L, Ω M If clusters represent a fair sample of the Universe one can derive their Dark-to-baryon mass ratio. The idea is large bound structures will retain their baryons and dark matter. Motion of galaxies and/or lensing and/or SZ à DM mass X-ray observations of inter-cluster gas à ionised mass Optical census of cluster à stellar masses (very small) Radio census of cluster à Neutral gas mass (very very small)! DM = M DM M b! M = ( M DM M b! b +1)! b Typically: M DM M b ~ 5! M ~ 0.25
17 Supernova Type Ia, Ω Λ SNIa believed to be standard candles much like Cepheids Caused by accretion onto a WD at a specific mass goes SN. Happens at fixed mass è fixed luminosity à standard candle. If we can measure peak brightness and the redshift we can use the magnitude-distance relation to measure prams. m = M + 5log 10 [d l (z, H o,! M! "! K )]+ 25+ A v + K(z) Apparent mag (can measure) z via redshift H o via Cepheids Can derive from Local SNIa spectra Absolute mag (calibrate locally) Can estimate redenning From colours Only unknowns are: Ω M Ω Λ Ω K but Ω k =0 from CMB Just need to find SN and measure light curves
18
19 Nearby SN (Calibrator)
20 More distant SN
21 SNIa light curve SNIa do show some sign of Variation, i.e., not perfect Standard cnadles (top figure) However brighter SNIa have broader light curves (top figure) Once this is taken into account (bottom figure) SNIa look like an ideal standard candle

24 (Re)discovery of Λ Two independent groups competing High-z Supernova Search Team (Reiss et al 1998) Supernova cosmology project (Perlmutter et al 1997) Both report non-zero Λ
25 Alternative interpretations Result is that galaxies appear fainter by ~20% over expectation for an EdS Universe. Could other effects cause this: Dust attenuation: Normal dust reddens light but spectra show no effect Grey dust, e.g., large dust grains > wavelength Unphysical Evolution of SNI1, e.g., metallicity Models show minimal effect GR wrong/incomplete in some other way (e.g., Tired Light) SN searches gave the first indication CMB and LSS studies provided orthogonal support. Increased age of Universe from 9Gyrs à 14Gyrs More consistent with GC ages (~13Gyrs).

35 From these parameters derive: i. The density of radiation today in kg m -3 ii. The redshift range over which matter dominates the dynamics iii. The temperature at matter-radiation equilibrium iv. The age of the Universe at matter-radiation equilibrium (use approximation) v. The temperature of the Universe 1s after the Big Bang vi. The radiation, mass, and vacuum densities 1s after the Big Bang (in kgm -3) vii. The proper distance to an object at z=1 (HINT: find an online cosmology calculator) viii.the apparent magnitude of a galaxy with M=-20 mag at z=1 (ignore dust attenuation and the K-correction). ix. The apparent diameter of a galaxy in arc seconds assuming the galaxy s intrinsic radius is 15kpc. x. What is the minimum size an object 1kpc across can appear on the sky and how does this compare to the resolution of the Hubble Space Telescope. xi. Finally relax and watch: and then describe what you find convincing and what you find unconvincing in the current standard model. Tidy solutions with explanation as necessary to be handed in 11am Friday 20 th in person or via .
