Basic Propositions of CosmologyCosmology
• Science works – we can understand the naturalworld using the process of testing theoriesg p gagainst experiments.
• Experiments here on Earth are a valid guide – thebehavior of material in the laboratory is the sameas in distant reaches of the Universe providedas in distant reaches of the Universe, provided the conditions are the same.

• Uniform velocitiesUniform velocitiesEqual areas in equal times!
Nicolaus Copernicus (1473 – 1543)Nicolaus Copernicus (1473 1543)the sun — rather than the Earth — is at the center of the solar system. This is considered among the most important landmarks in the history of modern science.

• It moves forward always at the same speed – 300,000 km/sec186,000 mi/sec

Classic Doppler Effect
• Imagine three atoms emitting a ray of light of the same g g y gcolor (let’s say yellow)
• One is stationary, one is moving towards us, one is moving away
– moving towards → “compressed” → appears bluer
25– moving away → “stretched” → appears redder

• So Einstein sought to modify the equation to fix this flaw and prevent gravitational collapse …
• Einstein introduced a cosmological constant Λ (vacuum energy) to ensure a static universe.
• By tuning Λ, attractive gravity due to matter can be balanced by the “repulsive” gravity of Λ.

“Brooklyn is not expanding!”• The expansion of the universe is an expansion of space itself. It is not an
explosion with pieces flying out from a common center through space.
• Except for motion due to local gravity through space, each galaxy is at rest with p g y g p , g ythe Hubble flow and “sees” the other galaxies moving away according to the Hubble law v = H0r.
33
• The universe is not expanding into anything. It is creating new space between the galaxies as it grows.

Implications of Cosmic Acceleration
• There is a previously unseen “dark energy” pervading all of space that is now accelerating the expansion of the universe.
• The expansion is NOT slowing to a halt and then collapsing (i.e., the universe is not “coming to an end”). In the simplest models, it will expand foreverwill expand forever.
• In the not so distant past (> 5 Byr ago) the universe was dominated by matter and was decelerating. Larger and larger y g g gstructures formed as each new scale entered the horizon.
• The formation of structure ended when dark energy prevailed over ttmatter.
• The largest structures in the universes are now being accelerated beyond our horizon - e.g. Virgo Cluster will be leave our horizon in

Dark Energy Task Force• DETF was jointly organized by 3 agencies: DOE, NSF and NASA• Charged to “advise the agencies on the optimum near and
intermediate term programs to investigate dark energy and tointermediate-term programs to investigate dark energy and… to advance the justification, specification and optimization of LST and JDEM.”
• “Prioritize approaches (not projects)”pp ( p j )• Findings from preliminary report highlighted four techniques:
– Baryon Acoustic Oscillations: “only recently established. Less affected by astrophysical uncertainties than other techniques. “
– Galaxy Clusters: “least developed. Eventual accuracy very difficult to predict.”
– Type Ia Supernovae: “presently most powerful and best proven technique “technique.
– Weak Lensing: “also emerging technique… If the systematic errors are at or below the level proposed by the proponents, it is likely to be the most powerful individual technique and also the

One amazing trick:
A supernova’s “redshift” tells us how much the universe has stretchedsince the supernova exploded.

• Repetitive imaging program(SN discovery and light curve measurement)
Ob 15 d• Observe 15 square degrees every three days in all filters “mowing the sky”.
• ~50% of time devoted to spectroscopy of individual SNe near maximum light.
• Will discover and follow ~2000 selected Type Ia Supernovae with redshifts out to z=1.7
