  2. What is Cosmology? • Astrophysics detailed description of « small » structures • Cosmology Universe as a whole  • Is it static? Expanding ? • Is it flat, open or closed ? • What is it composed of ? • What about its past and future ? An overview of cosmology

  3. Geometry and abstraction … • Part I :the expanding Universe • Hubble law • Newtonian gravity • General relativity • Friedmann-Lemaître model • Part II :the standard cosmological model • Hot Big bang scenario • Cosmological perturbations • Cosmological parameters • Inflation & Quintessence Concrete predictions, results, observations !! An overview of cosmology

  4. Part I :The Expanding Universe An overview of cosmology

  5. Part I : (1) - The Hubble Law • First step in understanding the Universe… • first telescopes: observation of nebulae • 1750 : T. Wright : Milky way = thin plate of stars? • 1752 : E. Kant : nebulae = other galaxies? • Galactic structure not tested before… 1923! An overview of cosmology

  6. redshift : z = D l / l = v . n / c • 1842 : Doppler effect for sound and light • 1868 : Huggins finds redshift of star spectral lines • 1868 – 1920 : observation of many redshift of stars and nebulae • random distribution • late observations : excess of z>0 for nebulae An overview of cosmology

  7. 1920’s : Leavitt & Shapley : • cepheids  period / absolute luminosity relation • measurement of distances of stars inside the Milky Way ( ~ 80.000 lightyear) absolute luminosity L apparent luminosity l = dL/ds = L/(4pr2) An overview of cosmology

  8. 1923 : Edwin Hubble : • 2,50 m telescope at Mount Wilson (CA) • cepheids in Andromeda • distance of nearest galaxy = 900.000 lyr (in fact 2 Mlyr) first probe of galactic structure !!! • so : excess of redshifted galaxies  Universe expansion ??? An overview of cosmology

  9. IN GENERAL : expansion  center Against « cosmological principle »  (Milne): Universe homogeneous … no privileged point! QUESTION : is any expansion a proof against homogeneity?  An overview of cosmology

  10. … like infinite rubber grid stretched in all directions … Proof that linear expansion is the only possible homogeneous expansion : vB/A = vC/B homogeneity vC/A = vC/B + vB/A = 2 vB/Alinearity ANSWER : not if v = H r  linear expansion An overview of cosmology

  11. 1000 km.s-1 • 1929 : Hubble gives the first velocity / distance diagram : H = v / r = 500 km.s-1.Mpc-1 for Hubble (  70km.s-1.Mpc-1 for us ) 1 Mpc = 3.106 lyr = 3.1022 m 0 km.s-1 0 Mpc 2 Mpc An overview of cosmology

  12. 1929 : starting of modern cosmology … Remark : what do we mean by « the Universe is homogeneous » (cosmological principle) ?  THE UNIVERSE IS IN HOMOGENEOUS EXPANSION An overview of cosmology

  13. v r • example of structure homogeneous after smoothing: • today : data on very large scales  confirmation of homogeneity beyond ~ 30 – 40 Mpc • local inhomogeneities  scattering An overview of cosmology

  14. Part I : (2) – Universe expansion from Newtonian gravity • on cosmic scales, only gravitation • Newton’s law = limit of General Relativity(GR) • Newton’s law should describe expansion at small distances with v = H r << c … • but historically, GR proposed the first predictions / explanations !!! when v << c F = G m1 m2 / r2 speed of object OR speed of liberation An overview of cosmology

  18. how can we define the curvature : • of a 2-D surface ? • embedded in 3D • stay in 2D, and use angles : • stay in 2D, and use a scaling law : dl(x1,x2) ex: sphere projected on ellipse, dl(q) hyperboloid plane sphere An overview of cosmology

  19. OR + scale(t,x,y,z) y t x t x • of 3-D space ? • embedded in 4D : x12 + x22 + x32 + x42 = R2 • stay in 3D, but provide a scaling law, like on a planisphere :dl(x1,x2,x3) • of 4-D space-time ? • one more dimension • time different from space (special relativity : - + + + ) intuitive representations: cuts (t,x), (x,y), etc., Euclidian coordinates embedded in 3D + scaling law An overview of cosmology

  20. curvature  matter: mathematical formulation = Einstein equation An overview of cosmology

  21. free-falling bodies follow geodesics feel only gravity given one point and one direction (not E.M., etc.)  one single line such that : e.g. galaxies, light…  A, B, [AB] = shortest trajectory • example 1 : geodesics a sphere : parallel great circle NO YES An overview of cosmology
