23 From WMAP papers, 8. CONCLUSIONS Spergel et al. (2003) Cosmology now has a standard model: a flat universe composed of matter, baryons, and vacuum energy with a nearly scale-invariant spectrum of primordial fluctuations. In this cosmological model, the properties of the universe Spergel et al. (2007) are characterized by the density of baryons, matter, and the expansion rate: b, m ; and h. FortheanalysisofCMB 9. CONCLUSIONS results, all of the effects of star formation can be incorporated in a single number: the optical depth due to reioniza- The standard model of cosmology has survived another rigorous set of tests. The errors on the WMAP data at large l are now tion,. The primordial fluctuations in this model are 3 times smaller, and there have been significant improvements in characterized by a spectral index. Despite its simplicity, it is other cosmological measurements. Despite the overwhelming an adequate fit not only to the WMAP temperature and force of the data, the model continues to thrive. This was the basic polarization data but also to small-scale CMB data, largescale structure data, and supernova data. This model is con- result of Spergel et al. (2003) and was reinforced by subsequent analyses of the first-year WMAP data with the SDSS (Tegmark sistent with the baryon/photon ratio inferred from observations of D/H in distant quasars, the HST Key Project 7. CONCLUSION et al. 2004a) and analysis of first-year WMAP plus the final 2dFGRS survey (Sanchez et al. 2006). After the analyses in this paper were completed, a larger With SDSS 5-years LRG sample of integration, was released. the WMAP temperature and polarization data have improved significantly. An improved determination of the third.. acoustic.... peak has enabled us to From these studies, we conclude that we have not detected any convincing deviations from the simplest six-parameter ΛCDM model at the level greater than 99% CL. By combining WMAP data with the distance information from BAO and SN, we have Komatsu et al. (2007) improved the accuracy of the derived cosmological parameters. As the distance information provides strong constraints on the

24 Cosmic pie Energy composition of the Universe today The Universe is occupied with unknown components, dark energy and dark matter Are you really happy about that?

25 WMAP papers, again Cosmology is now in a similar stage in its intellectual development to particle physics three decades ago when particle physicists converged on the current standard model. The standard model of particle physics fits a wide range of data but does not answer many fundamental questions: What is the origin of mass? Why is there more than one family? etc. Similarly, the standard cosmological model has many deep open questions: What is the dark energy? What is the dark matter? What is the physical model behind inflation (or something like inflation)? Over the past three decades, precision tests have confirmed the standard model of particle physics and searched for distinctive signatures of the natural extension of the standard model: supersymmetry. Over the coming years, improving CMB, large-scale structure, lensing, and supernova data will provide ever more rigorous tests of the cosmological standard model and search for new physics beyond the standard model. Spergel et al. (2003)

27 Cosmic acceleration Sizable amount of dark energy implies that the Universe just started an accelerated expansion!"#$%&'() $*+) Since ρ m > ρ DE ρ = ρ m + ρ DE P P DE ρ DE Acceleration!

28 Evidence of cosmic acceleration First confirmed by distant-supernova observations 10 years ago Scale of the Universe scale factor: a Obs. of distant type-ia SNe Accelerate Decelerate Redshift: z (=1/a 1) We are living in the second phase of cosmic inflation?!

29 Nature of dark energy (1) Cosmological constant First invented by Einstein in 1917 Vacuum energy equivalent to P DE = ρ DE = Dynamical scalar field Lagrangian density L = 1 2 φ 2 V (φ) effective eq. of state Fine-tuning problem,... P φ = w(t) ρ φ Λ M 4 pl Λ 8π G Un-naturally small!! ; w(t) = φ/2 V (φ) φ/2+v (φ) < 1 3

30 Alternative possibilities As alternative explanation to cosmic acceleration, we may abandon the standard model assumptions Modification to general relativity Hidden gravity sector that modifies Friedman eq. self-accelerating universe e.g., Dvali-Gabadadze-Poratti model f(r) gravity Violation of cosmological principle We are accidentally living at the center of low-density void Late-time cosmic acceleration is apparently observed Low-density void Einstein-de Sitter

31 Current status There are currently no natural & consistent explanations Nevertheless, We cannot immediately reject/exclude these possibilities at the level of current precision Primary goal w0 : ~few % wa : ~10 % Cosmological constant or not

32 Executive reports Albrecht et al. astro-ph/ We strongly recommend that there be an aggressive program to explore dark energy as fully as possible, Peacock et al. astro-ph/ , studies of dark energy and inflation are of the utmost interest to the science community well beyond astrophysics.

40 Observation of BAO SDSS LRG sample Eisenstein et al. (2005) Percival et al. (2007)

41 BAO as standard ruler Using BAO scale as standard ruler, cosmological distance of high-z objects can be measured Angular diameter distance Redshift z z=1080 From R.C.Nichol In addition, Hubble parameter of distant objects, H(z), can be measured through Alcock & Paczynski effect.

42 ror on w is 10%, and that from curvature is below 1% unless smology is rather non-standard. Hence our result is still limy the SDSS-II BAO data volume and not by our knowledge other cosmological parameters in Eq. (16). Of course, these sions only hold for mild perturbations from the concordance logy; for other cases, one should return to the raw distance aints. We note that these expressions have not used theanguustic scale in the CMB, so they are independent of what is ning with dark energy at z>0.35. ig. 5 shows the BAO constraints from Eq. (13) on Ω m and r ΛCDM cosmologies (upper panel), and on Ω m and w for odels where constant w 1 is allowed (lower panel). ke a Gaussian prior of Ω m h 2 = ± and asthat the error on Ω b h 2 is negligible as the WMAP5 data alconstrain it to 0.5% (Komatsu et al. 2009). These constraints e the angular acoustic scale in the CMB, so they are indent of the dark energy behaviour at the redshifts beyond mple. For comparison we plot the full WMAP5 constraints atsu et al. 2009), which include the constraints on the distance scattering, and constraints from the Union supernova sample lski et al. 2008), which constrain angular diameter distance up to z 1.
