Constraining Dark Energy by Combining Cluster Counts and Shear–Shear Correlations in a Weak Lensing Survey
We study the potential of a large future weak–lensing survey to constrain dark energy properties by using both the number counts of detected galaxy clusters (sensitive primarily to density fluctuations on small scales) and tomographic shear–shear correlations (restricted to large scales). We use the Fisher matrix formalism, assume a flat universe and parameterize the equation of state of dark e...
متن کاملCluster Number Counts Dependence on Dark Energy Inhomogeneities and Coupling to Dark Matter
Cluster number counts can be used to test dark energy models. We investigate dark energy candidates which are coupled to dark matter. We analyze the cluster number counts dependence on the amount of dark matter coupled to dark energy. Further more, we study how dark energy inhomogeneities affect cluster abundances. It is shown that increasing the coupling reduces significantly the cluster numbe...
متن کاملConstraining dark energy with Sunyaev-Zel'dovich cluster surveys.
We discuss the prospects of constraining the properties of a dark energy component, with particular reference to a time varying equation of state, using future cluster surveys selected by their Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect. We compute the number of clusters expected for a given set of cosmological parameters and propogate the errors expected from a variety of surveys. In the short term they will c...
متن کاملSelf-Calibration of Cluster Dark Energy Studies: Counts in Cells
Cluster number counts can constrain the properties of dark energy if and only if the evolution in the relationship between observable quantities and the cluster mass can be calibrated. Next generation surveys with ∼ 10 clusters will have sufficient statistics to enable some degree of self-calibration. The excess variance of counts due to the clustering of clusters provides such an opportunity a...
متن کاملNumber counts in homogeneous and inhomogeneous dark energy models
In the simple case of a constant equation of state, redshift distribution of collapsed structures may constrain dark energy models. Different dark energy models having the same energy density today but different equations of state give quite different number counts. Moreover, we show that introducing the possibility that dark energy collapses with dark matter (“inhomogeneous” dark energy) signi...
