The Observable Universe: Redshift, Distances and the Hubble-Law Max Camenzind Bremen @ Sept 2010 Key Facts Universe • 1. The Universe is expanding and presently even accelerating. Hubble Expansion: Space is stretched This implies some beginning … • 2. Relic Radiation: CMBR, WMAP, … • 3. Matter distribution is clumpy • 4. Matter is dominated by Dark Matter (DM). Only a Relativistic Cosmos can explain all these facts. 1. The Universe is Expanding • Until 1929, the Universe of galaxies was thought to be static. • In 1929, Edwin Hubble published the first distance – redshift correlation, based on Cepheid distances for the galaxies. The Universe of galaxies is expanding: c*z = H0*d : [H0] = km/s/Mpc Hubble Expansion Expansion of Space Variable Stars - Cepheids Some stars show intrinsic magnitude variations, not due to ecclipses in binary systems. Important Example: δ Cephei Lightcurve of δ Cephei Henrietta Leavitt (1868-1921) discovered Cepheids Period-Luminosity (PL) Relation (1912) Lightcurve of Cepheids Large & Small Magellanic Clouds Period versus Magnitude of Cepheids in SMC Cepheids as Distance Indicator The “Period” (Duration) of Pulsation correlates with the Luminosity 1. Measure Period 2. Determine Luminosity 1. Measure apparent magnitude 2. Distance ! The Luminosity of the observed Star ~1500L 1923 - Hubble measures the Distance to M 31 via Cepheids Hubble discovers Cepheids in M 31 Debate solved! 100-inch Hooker Telescope, Mt. Wilson Edwin Hubble The Universe Expands • Until 1929, the Universe has been considered to be static (Newton, Einstein). • 1929: Edwin Hubble published first Redshifts of Galaxies – RedshiftCorrelation, on the basis of Cepheid Distances: z = (λB – λG)/λG • The Universe of Galaxies expands V=c z = H d : [H ] = km/s/Mpc Galaxy Spectra have characteristic Absorption lines ~ Stars Spectrum Galaxy depends on age z = 4,58 Since 1963: Quasars have characteristic Emission Line Spectra z = 4,96 Hubble 1929 Hubble Correlation ? ?

Source: Web, http://www.monerohernandez.com/GALERIA/woodyallen.html Ad History of H0 The 2nd Great Debate … Hubble Key Project (2001) H0 = 72 +/- 8 Solution Hubble KeyProject 2003 All Data Meaning of the Hubble Constant • 1. H0 determines the Scale of the Universe: RH = c/H0 = 4200 Mpc : Hubble-Radius observable Universe is therefore limited. • 2. H0 determines the age of the Universe: tH = 1/H0 = 14 Billion years: Hubble-Age, effective age depends on density. • Important: The Hubble-age is only a measure for the true age of the Universe! • This age depends on many other Parameters (see LCDM model)!

The Future • Future experiments will distinguish between a cosmological constant or quintessence – ESSENCE, CFHT Legacy Survey, VST, VISTA, NGST, LSST, SNAP Supernovae Acceleration Probe – SNAP Summary on Hubble • Measuring Hubble expansion needs to measure distances beyond Virgo cluster measure expansion of Coma cluster against Virgo! • SN Ia obviously are very good standard candles (since 1998) are observable for z < 2. • Calibration error < 0.1 mag possible? Summary • Most of galaxies and all Quasars have redshifted Spectra (cosmological redshift, not gravitational). • Hubble found: cz = H0 d , z < 0,1. • The Hubble Constant has to be calibrated: Cepheids and SN-Methods are nowadays the most important Distance Indicators: H0 = 72+/-5 km/s/Mpc. • Hubble-Law can be used to measure distances in the Universe upto z < 0.2. For z > 0,2 quadratatic deviations (see LCDM). • With this method, the Homogeneity and Isotropy of the Universe also follows from the galaxy distribution for Scales s > 200 Mpc.
