Dark energy -- SNe Ia 1.Supernovae look farther/fainter than prediction by the model of universe composed by matter. 2.Model with three quarters of “energy”, which accelerates the expansion of universe, explains data very well.
3
Dark energy – Microwave Background Sky Geometry of our universe ISW effect Power spectrum from CMB gives two hints for dark energy 1. Position of first peak proves the curvature of our universe is small 2. The enhancement on large-scale may prove the existence of dark energy
4
Spergal et al. 2007 Observation of CMB first peak alone does not guarantee the existence of dark energy. 1.We are living in low density universe, m 0.3 Allen et al. 2002 Carlberg et al. 1997 2.Hubble constant is not so small, for example, from SZ clusters measurement, H 0 =60-70 Reese et al. 2002 Udomprasert et al 2004. m + k + =1 Dark energy – Microwave Background Sky
5
Astronomical Observations for Dark Energy Need to be sensitive on 1.Geometry of universe (distance vs. redshift relation) 2. Structure formation 1.Supernova type Ia : probe the geometry of universe Caution: assuming uniform intrinsic luminosity 2.CMB : good constraint on small curvature Caution : no time evolution data 3.Large scale structure : evolution of geometry of universe and growth factor D(z) Caution: depend on CDM model for structure formation Current used observations
6
Future observation Weak lensing: Size of distortion image depends on distance traveled and growth factor BAO: Baryon Acoustic Oscillation is sensitive to dark energy through its effect on the angular-diameter distance vs. redshift relation and through its effect on the time evolution of the expansion rate.

1. If the potential decays between the time a photon falls into a potential well and when it climbs out it gets a boost in temperature of due to the differential gravitational redshift and due to an accompanying contraction of the wavelength 2. No ISW effect in matter dominate epoch. 3. The dark energy dominating on late epoch creates the temperatures anisotropies on large scales. 11 22 E=| 1- 2| T/T=-2 d d /d ISW Effect

1.Signature of dark energy 2.Probe of evolution of structure 3.Sensitive on large scale 4.Detection is limited by cosmic variance. Try to look for correlation of CMB with matter ISW Effect

Cross correlation of CMB with matter in local universe Proposed by Crittenden & Turok (1996) Possible tracers 1.NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) 2.Hard X-ray background (HEAO-1) 3.Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) 4.Two Micron All Sky Survey Extended Source Catalogue (2MASS XSC) Density fluctuation CMB gains energy Form structures

1.The curve is sensitive on model of dark energy, bias factor, power spectrum of density perturbation, n_g(z) 2.Peaks at l~ few tens, less trouble on cosmic variance 3.Noise is dominated by CMB from recombination and reionization Example of cross-correlation Douspis et al. 2008

Result 1.Using polarization information narrows down the uncertainties from primary CMB about 3-7% 2.Better instrument noise estimation is necessary (mainly from 1/f) Error bars are obtained by correlation of 500 simulated CMB maps with real NVSS data
20
Summary 1.Working in harmonics space, signal with 2-sigma is detected in l~ 10-20. 2.Primary CMB is the dominated noise in this cross-correlation. Using polarization information, we can filter out part of it. 3.It suppress the noise about 3--7% in band power, giving a better constrain on dark energy model.
21
Contamination 1.Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect: anisotropies generated through the inverse Compton scattering with free e- correlates with the galaxy itself. On small scales 2.Emission from the radio galaxy Emission at f<few tens GHz contaminates the microwave sky. On small scales 3.Primary CMB itself: △ T(ISW) < 30% of △ T(total)
