The energy composition of the Universe, as emerged from the Type Ia supernova observations and the WMAP data, looks preposterously complex, – but only at the first glance. In fact, its structure proves to be simple and regular. An analysis in terms of the Friedmann integral enables to recognize a remarkably simple time-independent covariant robust recipe of the cosmic mix: the numerical values of the Friedmann integral for vacuum, dark matter, baryons and radiation are approximately identical. The identity may be treated as a symmetry relation that unifies cosmic energies into a regular set, a quartet, with the Friedmann integral as its common genuine time-independent physical parameter. Such cosmic internal (non-geometrical) symmetry exists whenever cosmic energies themselves exist in nature. It is most natural for a finite Universe suggested by the WMAP data. A link to fundamental theory may be found under the assumption about a special significance of the electroweak energy scale in both particle physics and cosmology. A freeze-out model developed on this basis demonstrates that the physical nature of new symmetry might be due to the interplay between electroweak physics and gravity at the cosmic age of a few picoseconds. The big ‘hierarchy number’ of particle physics represents the interplay in the model. This number quantifies the Friedmann integral and gives also a measure to some other basic cosmological figures and phenomena associated with new symmetry. In this way, cosmic internal symmetry provides a common ground for better understanding of old and recent problems that otherwise seem unrelated; the coincidence of the observed cosmic densities, the flatness of the co-moving space, the initial perturbations and their amplitude, the cosmic entropy are among them. 相似文献

We have used merger-trees realizations to study the formation of dark matter haloes. The construction of merger-trees is based
on three different pictures about the formation of structures in the Universe. These pictures include the spherical collapse
(SC), the ellipsoidal collapse (EC) and the non-radial collapse (NR). The reliability of merger-trees has been examined comparing
their predictions related to the distribution of the number of progenitors, as well as the distribution of formation times,
with the predictions of analytical relations. The comparison yields a very satisfactory agreement. Subsequently, the mass-growth
histories (MGH) of haloes have been studied and their formation scale factors have been derived. This derivation has been
based on two different definitions that are (a) the scale factor when the halo reaches half its present day mass and (b) the
scale factor when the mass-growth rate falls below some specific value. Formation scale factors follow approximately power
laws of mass. It has also been shown that MGHs are in good agreement with models proposed in the literature that are based
on the results of N-body simulations. The agreement is found to be excellent for small haloes but, at the early epochs of the formation of large
haloes, MGHs seem to be steeper than those predicted by the models based on N-body simulations. This rapid growth of mass of heavy haloes is likely to be related to a steeper central density profile
indicated by the results of some N-body simulations. 相似文献

The primordial anisotropy polarization pathfinder array (PAPPA) is a balloon-based instrument to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background and search for the signal from gravity waves excited during an inflationary epoch in the early universe. PAPPA will survey a 20° × 20° patch at the North Celestial Pole using 32 pixels in 3 passbands centered at 89, 212, and 302 GHz. Each pixel uses MEMS switches in a superconducting microstrip transmission line to combine the phase modulation techniques used in radio astronomy with the sensitivity of transition-edge superconducting bolometers. Each switched circuit modulates the incident polarization on a single detector, allowing nearly instantaneous characterization of the Stokes I, Q, and U parameters. We describe the instrument design and status. 相似文献

I present results of new statistical techniques for the interpretation of the temperature and polarization maps and power spectra of the cosmic microwave background. We show that the power deficit at low ℓ in the WMAP1 data is consistent with a statistical fluctuation at the 10% level; that future high S/N maps of the temperature and polarization anisotropies can be combined into a reconstruction of the metric perturbations imprinted during inflation; and that machine learning techniques can accelerate cosmological parameter estimation by orders of magnitude while being highly accurate and robust. 相似文献

We calculated the spatial two-point correlation function of cD clusters in Abell's statistical sample using estimated redshifts and found that positive correlation exists on all scales except around 70 Mpc and 170 Mpc (H0 = 100 km s−1 Mpc−1). In particular, positive correlation persists on the super large scale around 300 Mpc. This is particularly interesting in view of the known relationships among cD clusters, radio sources and superclusters. 相似文献

Cosmic acceleration is investigated through a kink-like expression for the deceleration parameter (q). The new parametrization depends on the initial (qi) and final (qf) values of q, on the redshift of the transition from deceleration to acceleration (zt) and the width of such transition (τ). We show that although supernovae (SN) observations (Gold182 and SNLS data samples) indicate, at high confidence, that a transition occurred in the past (zt > 0) they do not, by themselves, impose strong constraints on the maximum value of zt. However, when we combine SN with the measurements of the ratio between the comoving distance to the last scattering surface and the SDSS + 2dfGRS BAO distance scale (Sk/Dv) we obtain, at 95.4% confidence level, and for (Sk/Dv+Gold182), and and for (Sk/Dv+SNLS), assuming qi = 0.5 and qf = −1. We also analyze the general case, qf (−∞, 0) finding the constraints that the combined tests (Sk/Dv+SNLS) impose on the present value of the deceleration parameter (q0). 相似文献

I start with a brief introduction to MOND phenomenology and its possible roots in cosmology—a notion that may turn out to be the most far reaching aspect of MOND. Next I discuss the implications of MOND for the dark matter (DM) doctrine: MOND’s successes imply that baryons determine everything. For DM this would mean that the puny tail of leftover baryons in galaxies wags the hefty DM dog. This has to occur in many intricate ways, and despite the haphazard construction history of galaxies—a very tall order. I then concentrate on galaxy clusters in light of MOND, which still requires some yet undetected cluster dark matter, presumably in some baryonic form (CBDM). This CBDM might contribute to the heating of the X-ray emitting gas and thus alleviate the cooling flow puzzle. MOND, qua theory of dynamics, does not directly enter the microphysics of the gas; however, it does force a new outlook on the role of DM in shaping the cluster gas dynamics: MOND tells us that the cluster DM is not cold dark matter, is not so abundant, and is not expected in galaxies; it is thus not subject to constraints on baryonic DM in galaxies. The mass in CBDM required in a whole cluster is, typically, similar to that in hot gas, but is rather more centrally concentrated, totally dominating the core. The CBDM contribution to the baryon budget in the universe is thus small. Its properties, deduced for isolated clusters, are consistent with the observations of the “bullet cluster”. Its kinetic energy reservoir is much larger than that of the hot gas in the core, and would suffice to keep the gas hot for many cooling times. Heating can be effected in various ways depending on the exact nature of the CBDM, from very massive black holes to cool, compact gas clouds. 相似文献

Einstein’s field equations with variable gravitational and cosmological “constant” are considered in presence of perfect fluid
for Bianchi type-I space-time. Consequences of the four cases of the phenomenological decay of Λ have been discussed which
are consistent with observations. The physical significance of the cosmological models have also been discussed.
