Title: Complementarity of Dark Energy Probes

2
Complementarity of Future Dark Energy Probes
  • Jiayu Tang, Filipe Abdalla and JW
  • (DETFUCL)

3
What would we like to learn from a Dark Energy
experiment?
  • Possible explanations of observed accelerated
    expansion
  • extra energy component in the Universe (see
    Copeland)
  • modification of gravity on large scales (see
    Maartens)
  • inhomogeneous Universe - acceleration effect of
    averaging procedure
  • Key Question Different from cosmological
    constant?
  • unique feature of ? energy density constant
  • test if energy density varies with time
    (redshift, scale factor)
  • effectively looking for wp/? of course not
    really physical meaning for 2. and 3.

4
Parameterizations of Dark Energy
  • Background evolution
  • w w0
  • w w0w1z
  • w w0? ln(a) (Efstathiou 1999)
  • w w0wa(1-a) (Chevalier 2001, Linder 2003)
  • binned w(z) (parameter free)
  • Perturbations cs2,?, ...

5
Binning of w(z)
  • use 50 (large number) bins
  • zmax given by particular survey
  • effectively parameter free
  • continuous binning required for including CMB
    (Crittenden Pogosian 2005)
  • Fiducial model w -0.9 constant

6
Principal Component Analysis
  • Calculate Fisher matrix for leading order
    approximation of Likelihood
  • Diagonalize Fisher matrix do establish
    independent modes
  • Decompose w(z) in Eigenmodes
  • Inverse of eigenvalue is measure of uncertainty
    in Eigenmode (??j ?j-1/2), Eigenmode
    reflects redshift sensitivity of survey
  • (Huterer and Starkman 2003 Crittenden Pogosian
    2005)
  • Going beyond DETF figure of merit and pivot
    redshift

7
Analysis with Principal Components
  • Establish leading components via Fisher matrix
  • Estimate coefficients with MCMC or full
    likelihood (may need to iterate fiducial
    model)(Huterer and Peiris, 2007)
  • How about priors on Eigenmodes?
  • How to establish number of modes to take along
    (risk, likelihood ratio, F-test, evidence)?

8
Future Observations (very subjective)
  • South Pole Telescope 1000 element Bolometer
    Array 4,000 deg2 150,250 and 270 GHz 10m
    telescope 1 beam deployed begining of 2007.
  • PanStarrs photo-z z0-1 gt30,000 deg2 23.8
    mag griz and y filter and wide band (gri) 4
    cameras at PS4 on 1.8m mirror (1.4 billion
    pixels) (see Phleps talk).
  • Dark Energy Survey Imaging Survey on 4m Blanco
    5,000 deg2 sky coverage 24mag in grizVISTA IR
    photo-z z0.35-1.39 (see Lahav talk)
  • WFMOS Spectrograph on Gemini (Subaru) telescope,
    limiting m24, wide survey 2000 deg2, z
    0.5-1.3 deep survey 300 deg2, z 2.3 - 3.3
    (see Parkinson/Miyazaki talk)
  • DUNE Satellite Imaging survey, photo-z
    z0.1-1.1, half sky, one wide (riz) band and
    NIR mag limit 24.5 ground based complement (see
    Refregier talk)
  • SNAP Satellite 6 optical 3 NIR filters
    z0-1.7, 300 deg2 WL

9
Supernovae Probes
  • Measure of redshift - distance relation
  • SNAP 3000 SNe
  • Most weight at redshift z0.2 (DE domination)
  • Modes above 3rd are very weakly constrained (??1
    0.14 ??2 0.30 ??3 0.55)

10
Comparison of SNe probes
  • DES 1,900 SNe (??1 1.26 ??2 3.46)
  • PanStarrs 6,000 SNe (??1 0.13 ??1 0.28)
  • SNAP and PanStarrs very similar

11
Weak Lensing Probes
  • Probing expansion and growth of structure
  • DES zmax 2.0 ?? 0.34
  • Leading Principal Components reflect redshift
    bins
  • Strong constraints at z0.3 and z1.0
  • ??1 0.25 ??2 2.95 ??3 3.93

12
Comparison of WL probes
  • Use simulated galaxy redshift distributions (DES
    Huan Lin, DUNE Peter Capak)
  • SNAP 2-bins zmax 3.0 ??0.31 (??1 1.67 ??2
    5.91)
  • SNAP 3-bins (??1 0.39 ??2 2.37)
  • DES 1-bin (??1 50.0 ??2 78.0)
  • DES 3-bins (??1 0.25 ??2 2.95)
  • DUNE 1-bin zmax 3.0 ??0.40 (??1 24.9 ??2
    33.7)
  • DUNE 5-bins (??1 0.0053 ??2 0.031)

13
Baryon Acoustic Oscillations
  • Measure of angular diameter distance
  • Combination of wide and deep WFMOS survey.
  • kmax 0.15 cut-off
  • Peak constraint above z0.5!
  • ??1 0.17 ??2 0.53 ??3 0.66

14
Sunayev-Zeldovich Galaxy Cluster Counts
  • Measure of growth and volume
  • zmax 1.5
  • Peak below z0.5
  • ??1 0.39 ??2 0.96 ??3 1.55

15
Effects of Other Cosmological Parameters
  • Other cosmological parameters (?m, H0,M,...)
  • Marginalize Fisher matrix over extra parameters
    and then calculate principal components
  • sign of mode changes above z0.5
  • peak of modes shifts to lower redshift
  • so far no priors on w
  • conservative (-1ltwlt-1/3)
  • smoothness

16
Comparing Different Surveys
  • Clearly WL (from DUNE) is best constraint for
    zlt1, while BAO is most promising for larger
    redshifts, however these are Stage IV (DETF)
    missions
  • Galaxy cluster number counts not as good as SNe
    (but are forthcoming data sets) and are at Stage
    II-III.
  • More to come ... (ADEPT, PANSTARRS WL, ...)
