  14. Measuring expansion

  15. Arthur Geoffrey Walker 1909-? (British; 1935 paper with H P Robertson showed that F(L)RW metric is only homogeneous & isotropic metric) Alexander Friedmann 1888-1925 (Russian; 1922 paper) George Lemaître 1894-1936 (Belgian; indep. 1927 paper)

  16. Cosmic scale factor a(t) t [Gigayears]

  17. The Universe is expanding: • H>0 today • v≈Hr for v«c

  18. Edwin Hubble 1889- (American; 1930 paper) Mt. Wilson Observatory 1931

  19. Hubble 1929: H550 km/s/Mpc Riess et al 1996: H70 km/s/Mpc How measure distance & redshift?

  20. Cosmic scale factor a(t) t [Gigayears]

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

  22. Boomzoom Using galaxy correlations as a standardizable ruler: (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)

  23. Boomzoom (Eisenstein et al 2005, for the SDSS collaboration astro-ph/050112) We’ve measured distance to z=0.35 to 5% accuracy

  24. Big Bang nucleosynthesis as a standardizable clock: Tytler et al 2000, astro-ph/0001318

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