Observational Constraints on the Spectral Index
We address the possibility of bounding the spectral index n of primordial density fluctuations, using both the cosmic microwave background (cmb) anisotropy, which probes scales 103 to 104 Mpc, and data on galaxies and clusters which probes scales 1 to 100Mpc. Given n, sufficiently accurate large scale data on the cmb anisotropy can determine the normalisation of the primordial spectrum. Then th...

The LSS Review is a product of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Educational Laboratory, the Laboratory for Student Success (LSS), one of ten regional educational laboratories funded by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of the U.S. Department of Education. LSS seeks to provide research-based information to significantly improve the educational capacity of the region, including Delaware, Marylan...
متن کاملDark-matter constraints from a cosmic index of refraction
The existence of dark matter is inferred through its gravitational interactions [1, 2, 3], though to discover its nature we must probe it by other means. Here we consider how the properties of light can be modified through interactions with dark matter. The dark-matter candidates of particle physics invariably possess electromagnetic interactions, if only via quantum fluctuations. Taken en mass...
متن کاملForecasting cosmic doomsday from CMB-LSS cross-correlations
A broad class of dark energy models, which have been proposed in attempts at solving the cosmological constant problems, predict a late time variation of the equation of state with redshift. The variation occurs as a scalar field picks up speed on its way to negative values of the potential. The negative potential energy eventually turns the expansion into contraction and the local universe und...
متن کاملThe XMM - LSS survey I .
We have designed a medium deep large area X-ray survey with XMM – the XMM Large Scale Structure survey, XMM-LSS – with the scope of extending the cosmological tests attempted using ROSAT cluster samples to two redshift bins between 0 < z < 1 while maintaining the precision of earlier studies. Two main goals have constrained the survey design: the evolutionary study of the cluster-cluster correl...
