The expansion :
Cosmological principle:
No special position nor direction
Velocity and distance are proportional (at least not too far away)
No dynamical argument involved : only symmetries.
P. Astier, CdF(12/16)6
The expansion :velocity variations
D D
VV VV
Because of gravitationgalaxies attract each otherand their relative velocity
goes down
P. Astier, CdF(12/16)7
So,
velocity
Distance
● V = H d is a signature of the expansion of the universe● The variation of the expansion velocity with time (or distance) encodes the forces at play.
Different hypothesesfor matter density
P. Astier, CdF(12/16)8
● General Relativity relates the trajectories in spacetime and the energy densities of the fluids in the universe.
● Einstein Equations + cosmological principle
→ Friedman's equation(s)

P. Astier, CdF(12/16)9
History of expansionand content of the universe
● We have to measure (velocity, distance) pairs● For velocities, it is (almost) easy :
– spectral shift (« Doppler »)
● For distances, it is more difficult:– Luminosity distances : « standard candles »
– Angular distances : « standard rulers »
P. Astier, CdF(12/16)10

The programme
distance
z ~ spectral shift (to the red): redshift
Measure - distances- ... and the corresponding “z”
In order to evaluatethe gravitationalforces at play andhence the content
P. Astier, CdF(12/16)12
Type “Ia” Supernovae
● Extremely bright● Transient (rise in~ 20 days)● Rare (~1/galaxy/millenium)● Luminosity fluctuations
at peak : ~ 40 % ● Using luminosity indicators ~14 %
Thermonuclear explosion of stars That appear to be reproducible

Measuring « light curves »
Measurement of theobject flux as a functionof time for about 2 months
One has to measure the« colour », i.e. measurelight in at least two spectral bands
Fit of an empirical modelwhich allows to summarisethe data into a few parameters

What is new in 1998 ?
● One can detect in a systematical way distant supernovae (z~0.5) (both teams used primarily the BTC camera on the CTIO 4-m)
● One can then compare “high-z” supernovae to the “low-z” ones. (Both teams compare to the same nearby sample : Hamuy & co (1996) )
● What for ? the idea was to measure the deceleration parameter q0 :
- Un a universe dominated by matter q0 =
M /2
-> Expansion should decelerate (matter attracts).
P. Astier, CdF(12/16)20
Accelerated expansion
Decelerated expansion The Nobel Prize in Physics 2011
was divided, one half awarded to Saul Perlmutter, the other half jointly to Brian P. Schmidt and Adam G. Riess "for the discovery of the accelerating expansion of the Universe through observations of distant supernovae".

What did we learn in 15 years?
● That accelerated expansion is real. Other probes observe it.
● If one interprets acceleration on the framework of General Relativity, it looks very much like a cosmological constant.
● That improving distance measurements to supernovae is going to be difficult: one should absolutely improve the photometric standards.

discussed)● WFIRST (202x-) : + 2000 ?

Gravitational shear
In a non-homogeneousUniverse, light is (slightly)bent.
P. Astier, CdF(12/16)44
Gravitational distortions● Image plane transfomations
– Weak lensing : one to one mapping.
– Strong lensing : multiple images of the same object
● Order 0: a shift (~ un-observable).● Order 1 (2x2 matrix = 4 parameters):
– Magnification (1 parameter)
– Shear (symmetric, det=1 → 2 parameters)
– Rotation (1 parameter)
– Magnification and shear are observable statistically. The rotation is not observable and absent for single-plane lenses.

Large-scale Structures
Observables :
- ellipticity
- orientation
• Sensitive to matter (dark or not)• Sensitive :
– To structures– To distances
• A ~ 1% effect: one needs millions of galaxies to measure it.

Cosmological constraintsderived from cosmic shear
● The cosmological model predicts structure formation : in practice density contrasts increase as time goes, in a way related to expansion.
● This is a precise prediction, which is encoded into density fluctuations.
● Cosmic shear is sensitive to density fluctuations, so shear correlations trace density correlations.
P. Astier, CdF(12/16)51
The CFHTLS wide survey
● About 200 degrees², 5 bands, ~ 200 nights on CFHT, (2003-2008)
● ~10 millions of usable galaxies.

Shear measurements
Shear signal : correlations of distant galaxy ellipticities (as a function of their angular separation )
Sources of ellipticity: Natural ellipticity : ~ 30% -> just average over many galaxies Imaging system : 0 – 10 % -> One should measure stellar ellipticities Cossmological signal : ~ 1%

Cosmological constraints (3D)
● One uses galaxy colours to assign a redshift to them. One can then « cut slices » along redshift.
● One has to measure in 5 bands in order to get the required colours. (visible bands “ugriz”).

Conclusions● Dark energy is there. It looks like a cosmological
constant (w = -1.02 +/- 0.05)● Supernovae are moving on.● Gravitational shear is difficult, but two major
have been designed to measure : LSST and Euclid
