Measuring cosmological parameters.
In this review, the status of measurements of the matter density (Omegam), the vacuum energy density or cosmological constant (OmegaLambda), the Hubble constant (H0), and the ages of the oldest measured objects (t0) are summarized. Three independent types of methods for measuring the Hubble constant are considered: the measurement of time delays in multiply imaged quasars, the Sunyaev-Zel'dovic...
متن کاملWeak Lensing: Prospects for Measuring Cosmological Parameters
Weak lensing of galaxies by large-scale structure can potentially measure cosmological quantities as accurately as the cosmic microwave background (CMB). However, the relation between observables and fundamental parameters is more complex and degenerate, especially in the full space of adiabatic cold dark matter models considered here. We introduce a Fisher matrix analysis of the information co...
متن کاملMeasuring Cosmological Parameters with Galaxy Surveys
We assess the accuracy with which future galaxy surveys can measure cosmological parameters. By breaking parameter degeneracies of the Planck Cosmic Microwave Background satellite, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey may be able to reduce the Planck error bars by about an order of magnitude on the large-scale power normalization and the reionization optical depth, down to percent levels. However, pinp...
متن کاملMeasuring cosmological parameters with cosmic microwave background experiments.
The cosmic microwave background anisotropy is sensitive to the slope and amplitude of primordial energy density and gravitational wave fluctuations, the baryon density, the Hubble constant, the cosmological constant, the ionization history, etc. In this Letter, we examine the degree to which these factors can be separately resolved from combined smalland large-angular scale anisotropy observati...
متن کاملMeasuring Cosmological Parameters with the SDSS QSO Spatial Power Spectrum Analysis to Test the Cosmological Principle
In this paper we emphasize the importance of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) QSO clustering statistics as a unique probe of the Universe. Because the complete SDSS QSO sample covers a quarter of the observable universe, cosmological parameters estimated from the clustering statistics have an implication as a test of the cosmological principle, by comparing with those from local galaxies and...
