Simple … yet, an exotic universe 95% of the energy of the universe is in some exotic form Dark Matter: we cannot see it directly, only via its gravitational affect. Clusters under gravity. 73% Dark Energy: smooth form of energy that we cannot repulsively under gravity. 23% Ordinary (baryonic) matter accounts for 4% Know 99% the radiation content of the universe (CMB) Insignificant now (0.01%) but important prior to z<10000

Ordinary matter is sprinkled on the Cold Dark matter distribution Galaxies light up at the densest points
Where is the Cold Dark matter ? 6 times more in dark matter than ‘baryonic’ matter Zwicky 1935
Dark matter in Galaxies ! R

Dark matter in our own backyard !?!
Dark matter in the Milky way
Dark matter in other galaxies too !!
Dark matter in clusters !?!

Evidence for Dark Energy? Is it the Cosmological constant? The Cosmic repulsive force Einstein once proposed and later denounced as his ‘biggest blunder” ?
Theoretical possibilities Possibility 1: Universe permeated by energy density, constant in time and uniform in space (Einstein’s ). Possibility 2: DE some kind of ‘unknown’ dynamical fluid. Its eqn of state varies with time (or redshift z or a ( z ) ). Impact of DE (or different theories) can be expressed in terms of different “evolution of equation of state” w ( a ) p ( a ) / ( a ) with w ( a ) for Possibility 3: GR incorrect, modified Lagrangian, Braneworld scenario (higher derivative/dimensional gravity) Possibility 4 : `Inhomogeneous’ cosmos – backreaction of gravitational. Instability (UNLIKELY)
Geometry, Expansion & Matter Dark energy causes accelerated expansion
Correction to the Hubble’s Law …. measures the acceleration in the expansion of the universe Measure distances independent of redshift v/c till v/c=z~1

How do we know so much now about this model Universe ? Perturbed universe!
Transparent universe Opaque universe 14 GPc Here & Now (14 Gyr) 0.5 Myr Cosmic “Super–IMAX” theater
After 25 years of intense search, tiny variations (~10 p.p.m.) of CMB temperature sky map finally discovered. “Holy grail of structure formation” Predicted as precursors to the observed large scale structure The Perturbed Universe Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropy
George Smoot John Mather COBE Cosmic Background Explorer First detection of CMB anisotropy (1992)
Temperature anisotropy T + two polarization modes E&B Four CMB spectra : C l TT, C l EE,C l BB,C l TE CMB Anisotropy & Polarization CMB temperature T cmb = K -200 K < T < 200 K T rms ~ 70 K T pE ~ 5 K T pB ~ nK
Recall Fourier series
Hence, a powerful tool for constraining cosmological parameters. Fig. M. White 1997 The Angular power spectrum of CMB anisotropy depends sensitively on Cosmological parameters Multi-parameter Joint likelihood (MCMC)
