Short History of the Universe (one of)

Planck Era: 10^(-43) s. ~ 10^(-33) cm regions homogeneous and isotropic. izotropowe, T=10(^32)K.

• Inflation. 10^(-35) s after BB, T = 10^(27) – 10^(28)K, fast expansion.

• Inflation ends. 10^(-33 s), T= 10^(27) – 10^(28)K. Homogeneous regions from Planck era have grown to~ 100 cm (> 10^(35) times). Tiny nearly gaussian density fluctuations.

Short History of the Universe•Bariogenesis. 100,000,001 protons per 100,000,000 antiprotons (and 100,000,000 photons). •Till 100 s after BB: Universe grows and cools down, T ~ 10^9K. Protons anihillate with antiprotons, later e- and e+. H i He are created.

Krótka historia Wszechświata• One month after BB: processes which

transform radiation field into black body radiation become slower than the velocity of expansion of the Universe; from now on there is a chance of some informations being preserved in CMB 56 000 years after BB: matter density= radiation density. T = 9000 K. Inhomogeneities of (dark) matter start to grow…

Short history of the Universe• 380 000 after BB: protons and electrons

make neutral H. T=3000K. The Universe becomes transparent - CMB may travel freely (last scattering surface). “Normal” (barionic) matter starts to accumulate on the dark matter overdensities…

• 100-200 mln years after BB: first stars shine and re-ionize the Universe. First supernovae explode. Galaxies and clusters form.

• 4,6 bln years ago: Sun shines. • Today: 13.7 bln years after BB. T=2.725

K.

After recombination (WMAP 3-years temperature map)

Large-scale structure in the local (z<0.2) Universe: galaxies (Colless, Maddox, Peacock et al.)

The Large Scale Structure of the Universe• Gravitational instability theory:

– Density fluctuations (of dark matter) after inflation, Gaussian (?) distribution

– Matter gathers around these

– Galaxies, clusters, LSS form• The smaller scale the more non-linear evolution• Tests of the model

• Statistics• Simulations

From the observational side...

• The main source of our knowledge about the LSS of the Universe are catalogs of galaxies (2D – positions only and 3D – redshift surveys)

Redshift surveys may allow to investigate...

• The history of formation and evolution of galaxies

• Evolution of the LSS of the Universe and what physical processes may determine it in different epochs and timescales

• Formation and evolution of different classes of objects (e.g. AGNs)

• Formation and evolution of clusters

Most of great calalogs today: only local Universe

• Local Universe – a few big surveys, like • SDSS

• 2dF

• > 1M galaktyk do z = 0.3

• Distribution and properties relatively easy to examine

• BUT: no evolution

• A possibility of testing new cosmological models• BUT: practical problems: observed galaxies are worse

and worse tracers of mass; evolution of galaxies themselves; bias is a function of z redshift!

• This is different with respect to local surveys where the “observation time” << Hubble time

• Deep surveys: structure evolution and galaxy evolution and evolution of subsequent population of stars in galaxies…

• A few years ago: the biggest available deep surveys were small small fields, few galaxies (~1000) (e.g. CFRS, Le Fevre et al.1996; CNOC, Yee et al 1998): different selection criteria (color)- Effect: ro from 2 to 5 h-1 Mpc for z between 0 and 5 (see Steidel 1998)

Large Scale Structure of the Universe Large Scale Structure of the Universe with deep surveyswith deep surveys

Which means practical problems:

• Few objects (until recently not more than a few*1000 for 0.5<z<5)

• Small volumes (->big cosmic variance) • Different selection criteria for different

measurements and related biases; how to compare? How to make a joint analysis?

Borgani & Guzzo 2001

Structure evolution: we want to see the whole movie, not only the last slide!

Recent deep galaxy surveys• Goalç to measure redshifts of > 100 000

galaxies, to analyse history of LSS and galaxies themselves– VVDS

– Deep-2

– ostatnio: COSMOS

• Well defined (and low) limiting luminosity (e.g. m_I>22).

• Large fields to minimize cosmic variance (to reach volumes ~100 h-1 Mpc)

• Redshift measurements deep enough to probe LSS• To understand the biases:

• Multi-band information • High-resolution imaging (e.g. HST)

VVDS and structure evolution:VVDS and structure evolution:

First Epoch VVDS Data

• 11564 spectra from 17.5<IAB<24, fields 0226-04 and CDFS, area 0.61 sq.deg.– 10518 galaxies with measured z,

8869 with “confidence level” >80%– 836 stars– 85 AGNs– 125 unidentified objects

• Field coverage 25% - 30%

First epoch VVDS-Deep survey: VVDS-02 field

First VVDS data

• 0<z<5• 1065 galaxies z>1.4

– Successful measurements on the redshift desert , i.e. 1.5<z<2.2

– Problems in 2.2<z<2.7 range (because of the filter coverage)

Distribution of “secure” redshifts (median 0.70)

2-point correlation function• Definition: probability “above random” that we find a

pair of galaxies at a certain distance from each other (spatial, angular…)

• In practice: different estimators, e.g. Landy-Szalay

• Problems: different densities of different parts of the fields because of different number of observation runs, bright stars, non-random choice of objects for spectroscopy…

Measuring the correlation function

Biases removal for the redshift-space correlation function

Biases removal for the 2D redshift space correlation function

Biases removal for the projected (real space) correlation function

Luminosity function evolves, too…Luminosity function evolves, too…

Red (“old”) galaxies and blue (recently star forming) galaxies

• Now it is well known that red/early type galaxies (elipticals, irregulars) are more clustered than blue/late type (spiral) ones

• How did it evolve? When did they segregate?• When did galaxy types appear?

• Meneux et al., 2006, Cucciati et al. 2006

Correlation length for different galaxy types and colors

CF properties vs absolute luminosities

• w_p(r_p) in different luminosity ranges for small and large z

• Correlation length r_0• slope gamma• Non power-law fit!• Different relative bias at different scales

w_p in luminosity ranges

• VVDS-02, M_B• 2 “wide” ranges

corresponding to ~3.5 bld years, medians z~0.4 and z~0.9

• 7 luminosity ranges in each

No power law… Argument for Halo Occupation Distribution Models...

...non-linear relative relative bias(with rescpect to gal L*)?

• General populationç correlation length almost constant between z=0.5 and z~2, in a survey where the only selection criterion is luminosity (IAB<24)

• This effects may be understood as a superposition of the evolution of structure itself,evolution of bias and different dependence of clustering on luminosity

•Generaal population: in a good agreement with hydrodynamical simulations in a model with CMB and big cosmological constant

•Galaxies of early spectral types (eliptical and early spirals) are more clustered than late spirals and irregulars in all epochs

•Red galaxies more correlated than blue ones

•But: a tendency to reverse this relation at z~1.5?

Summary – structure evolution in VVDSSummary – structure evolution in VVDS

• For different absolute luminosities

•r_0 and gamma rise for L>L* for large z

• non power law fit of CF z -> argument in favor of HOD models?

•Scale-dependent bias?

•Conclusions:

•In the z~0.9 Universe bright galaxies more willingly were closer to other bright galaxies than today

•What happened to them? Did they merge? Did they get fainter?

•Bias not only evolving, but also non-linear?

•We have to develop models and theory
