  2. Large-Scale Structure & Surveys Max Tegmark, MIT

  3. Midsummer holiday, Leksand, Sweden

  4. Max Tegmark University of Pennsylvania Where I was born and raised

  5. Who are you?

  6. The cosmic plan: • Survey of cosmology basics • Measuring large-scale structure with galaxy surveys • Measuring large-scale structure neutral hydrogen L1: L2: L3:

  7. The cosmic plan: Bean, de la Macorra • Overview of cosmology theory & observation • - 0th order: cosmic expansion history • - 1st order: cosmic clustering history • - Observational tools: supernovae, CMB, galaxy clustering, . clusters, lensing, Ly forest, etc • - Predicting large-scale structure L1: • Overview of cosmology theory & observation • - 0th order: cosmic expansion history • - 1st order: cosmic clustering history • - Observational tools: supernovae, CMB, galaxy clustering, . clusters, lensing, Ly forest, etc • - Cosmological parameters • Revolutions on the horizon: • - Nature of dark energy • How will the Universe end? Will it? • - Nature of dark matter • What is the Universe made of? • - Nature of our early universe • How did the Universe begin? Did it? • - String theory? Multiverse? • - 21 cm tomography Liddle Zaldarriaga, Smoot Crawford Roe Takada Sunzeff

  8. Galaxy surveys Microwave background Supernovae Ia THE COSMIC SMÖRGÅSBORD Gravitational lensing Big Bang nucleosynthesis Galaxy clusters Neutral hydrogen tomography Lyman  forest

  9. What have we learned?

  10. OUR PLACE IN SPACE

  11. DSE

  12. SDSS movie

  13. OUR PLACE IN TIME

  14. The sky as a time machine

  15. Brief History of our Universe Dark matter creation? Antimatter annihilation Creation of atomic nuclei Dark energy evidence Hot Dense Smooth 400 Cool Rarefied Clumpy (Graphics from Gary Hinshaw/WMAP team)

  16. Formation movies

  17. To 0th order: Fluctuation generator Fluctuation amplifier 386 Hot DenseSmooth 400 H(z) Cool Rarefied Clumpy (Graphics from Gary Hinshaw/WMAP team) Cosmological functions (z), G(z,k), Ps(k), Pt(k)

  19. 0th order: a(t) 1st order: g(z,k) (Figure courtesy of COBE team) 400 Higher order: gastrophysics 13.7

  20. 0th order: Measuring Expansion: a(t) <=> H(z) (More on this in the lectures of …) • Standardizable candles • Standardizable rods • Standardizable clocks

  25. Standardizable candles Boomzoom (From Saul Perlmutter’s web site)

  26. Using CMB blobs as a standardizable ruler: Boomzoom Open universe Inflation with  Guth & Kaiser 2005 (Science) + WMAP3 Inflation without  Cosmic strings

  27. Using galaxy correlations as a standardizable ruler: BAO Boomzoom (Eisenstein, Hu & MT 1998; Eisenstein et al 2005; Cole et al 2005) Easiest to understand in real space (Bashinsky & Bertschinger, PRL, 87, 1301, 2001; PRD 123008, 2002)

  28. (Eisenstein et al 2005, for the SDSS collaboration astro-ph/050112) Boomzoom We’ve measured distance to z=0.35 to 5% accuracy Updates in Reid et al 0907.1659, Percival et al 0907.1660, Kazin et al 2009

  29. Big Bang nucleosynthesis as a standardizable clock: George Gamow 1904-1968

  30. Big Bang nucleosynthesis as a standardizable clock: George Gamow 1904-1968 Kirkman et al 2003, astro-ph/0302006

  31. H = dlna/dt, H2   Assumes k=0 SN Ia+CMB+LSS constraints Yun Wang & MT 2004, PRL 92, 241302 a = 1/(1+z)

  32. Inflationary gravitational waves as a standardizable clock: Qt ~ H/mplanck

  33. H = dlna/dt, H2   What we’ve learned about H(z) from SN Ia, CMB, BAO, BBN, etc: Assumes k=0 SN Ia+CMB+LSS constraints Yun Wang & MT 2004, PRL 92, 241302 Vanilla rules OK!

  34. curvature: • consistent with vanilla (k = 0) • topology: • consistent with vanilla
