While non-linear ~ a3
For larger x
UNIVERSAL MASS CONSERVATION MAPPING
OF LINEAR INTO NON-LINEAR

5. GOING NON-LINEAR-I

6. COSMIC
EXPANSION

7. Measuring the cosmic expansion?
This is a fundamental quantity not related at all to the FRW equations! If you want
to do such a thing then…

Tight constraints because data
are marginally compatible
mn (eV) < 0.17 (95 %C.L.), < 0.19 eV (Fogli et al. 08)
r < 0.22 (95 % C.L.)
running = ± 0.012
Neff = 5.2 (3.2 without Ly a)
CMB + SN + SDSS gal+ SDSS Ly-a
Goobar et al. 06 get upper limits 2-3 times larger……
for forecasting see Gratton, Lewis, Efstathiou 2007

FEEDBACK FROM GALACTIC WINDS

19. Springel & Hernquist 2002,2003

20. LECTURE # 5
BAO

21. Cosmological parameters from baryonic oscillations
Baryonic acoustic oscillation in SDSS galaxy power spectrum detected in Dec 2004
46748 LRG in 0.72 (Gpc/h)3 at <z>= Eisenstein et al., 2005, ApJ, 633,560
- They are a standard ruler and a signature of the photons-baryons interaction in the
the plasma at recombination (z=1100) and provide measurement of H (z) and DA (z)
- These soundwaves could either be seen in the CMB peaks or in the galaxy powerspec.
with the complication of: bias (galaxy-matter) and peculiar velocities
Physical length depends on the sound horizon at recombination
DM is angular diameter distance - from CMB
DV = [DM2 cz/H(z)] 1/ distance - from LRG
dilation scale of the correlation function
