Mass Density of Universe How much? How distributed? Mass-to-Light Function Baryon Fraction Cluster Abundance and Evolution Other Large-Scale Structure Obs. All yield m ~ 0.25 Mass ~ Light Mass ~ Light (on large scales) How much? How distributed? Mass-to-Light Function Baryon Fraction Cluster Abundance and Evolution Other Large-Scale Structure Obs. All yield m ~ 0.25 Mass ~ Light Mass ~ Light (on large scales)

Mass-to-Light Function M/L(R) Mass-to-Light Function M/L(R) How does M/L depend on scale? How and where is the mass distributed? How use it to weigh Universe? rep L univ (L o /Vol) = m (M o /Vol) Determine M, of clusters, SCs, LSS rep [≈ 300h rep [≈ 300h ] m ~ 0.2 +-0.05 How does M/L depend on scale?

Mass-to-Light Function Mass-to-Light Function (Bahcall, Lubin & Dorman ‘95; Bahcall and Fan ‘98) 1. M/L flattens on large-scales: M ~ L. End of Dark Matter. 2. Sp + E produce M/L of groups, clusters; Clusters have no excess DM ! 3. Most of the DM is in huge halos around galaxies (few-100 Kpc) Ω m = 1.0 Ω m = 0.3 Ω m =0.25
