Scale Dependence of Dark Energy Antigravity
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate the effects of negative pressure induced by dark energy (cosmological constant or quintessence) on the dynamics at various astrophysical scales. Negative pressure induces a repulsive term (antigravity) in Newton’s law which dominates on large scales. Assuming a value of the cosmological constant consistent with the recent SnIa data we determine the critical scale rc beyond which antigravity dominates the dynamics (rc ∼ 1Mpc) and discuss some of the dynamical effects implied. We show that dynamically induced mass estimates on the scale of the Local Group and beyond are significantly modified due to negative pressure. We also briefly discuss possible dynamical tests (eg effects on local Hubble flow) that can be applied on relatively small scales (a few Mpc) to determine the density and equation of state of dark energy.

Baryon acoustic oscillation intensity mapping of dark energy.
The expansion of the Universe appears to be accelerating, and the mysterious antigravity agent of this acceleration has been called "dark energy." To measure the dynamics of dark energy, baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) can be used. Previous discussions of the BAO dark energy test have focused on direct measurements of redshifts of as many as 10(9) individual galaxies, by observing the 21 cm ...
متن کاملOn the Phenomenology of an Accelerated Large-Scale Universe
In this review paper, several new results towards the explanation of the accelerated expansion of the large-scale universe is discussed. On the other hand, inflation is the early-time accelerated era and the universe is symmetric in the sense of accelerated expansion. The accelerated expansion of is one of the long standing problems in modern cosmology, and physics in general. There are several...
متن کاملDark matter growth and baryon bias in an accelerating universe
We investigate the exact analytic solutions for the growths of the dark matter and the baryon in sub-horizon scale. The growth of the dark matter δDM is related to that of the halos. Thus, the exact solution for the growth of the dark matter is important to obtain the proper properties of dark matter halos. However, the dark energy model dependence of δDM is confused with the δDM dependence on ...
متن کاملDark energy and the mass of the Local Group
Dark energy must be taken into account to estimate more reliably the amount of dark matter and how it is distributed in the local universe. For systems several Mpc across like the Local Group, we introduce three self-consistent independent mass estimators. These account for the antigravity effect of dark energy treated as Einstein’s cosmological constant Λ. The first is a modified Kahn-Woltjer ...
متن کاملThe dark side of cosmology: dark matter and dark energy.
A simple model with only six parameters (the age of the universe, the density of atoms, the density of matter, the amplitude of the initial fluctuations, the scale dependence of this amplitude, and the epoch of first star formation) fits all of our cosmological data . Although simple, this standard model is strange. The model implies that most of the matter in our Galaxy is in the form of "dark...
