The Age of the Universe from Joint Analysis of Cosmological Probes
نویسنده
چکیده
Analyses of various cosmological probes, including the latest Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropies, the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey and Cepheid-calibrated distance indicators suggest that the age of expansion is 13 ± 3 Gyr. We discuss some statistical aspects of this estimation, and we also present results for joint analysis of the latest CMB and Cepheid data by utilizing ‘Hyper-Parameters’. The deduced age of expansion might be uncomfortably close to the age of the oldest Globular Clusters, in particular if they formed relatively recently.

In Wesson's canonical model, the universe is assumed to be five dimensional (5D) empty space time. This model corresponds to a solution of the Einstein field equation in five dimensions which, from a four dimensional point of view, is equivalent to a universe with a positive cosmological constant. In this model, the fifth direction is perpendicular to the four dimensional space time and is not...

In the second self-creation theory of gravitation and in the general theory of relativity, Bianchi type VI0 cosmological model in the presence of viscous fluid is studied. An exact solution of the field equations is given by considering the cosmological model yields a constant decelerations parameter q=constant and the coefficients of the metric are taken as A(t)=[c1t+c<su...

We assess the accuracy with which Ωm and ΩΛ can be measured by combining various types of upcoming experiments. Useful expressions for the Fisher information matrix are derived for classical cosmological tests involving luminosity (e.g., SN Ia), angular size, age and number counts. These geometric probes are found to be quite complementary both to each other and to inferences from cluster abund...

In this paper, the analytical solutions of Brans-Dicke (B-D) equations with cosmological constant are presented, in which the equation of state of the universe is P=mÙ° ρ , under the assumption φRn=c between the B-D field and the scale factor of the universe. The flat (K=0) Robertson- Walker metric has been considered for the metric of the universe. These solutions are rich in the sense that ...
متن کاملJoint Cosmological Inference from Galaxy Surveys, the Cosmic Microwave Background and the X-ray Background
We discuss cosmological inference from galaxy surveys, the XRay Background (XRB) and the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). We assume a family of Cold Dark Matter (CDM) models in a spatially flat universe with an initially scale-invariant spectrum and a cosmological constant. Joint analysis of the CMB and IRAS resdhift surveys yields as optimal parameters (for fixed Ωbh 2 = 0.024): Ωm = 1 − ΩΛ ...
