Describe uniform homogeneous (still debated) universe by Robertson-Walker metric (only solution for Cste curvature)
k = 0 for flat universe, assumed in following (±1 curved space ) a(t) is the scale factor of the expansion a(t=0) = 1 (today)
At redshift z : (Doppler) Hubble ‘constant’ = H0 = expansion rate ~73km/s/Mpc (today)H0 is the inverse of a time : c = distance at which the expansion reaches the light velocity (= 12.5 109 years)H(t) varies with time (Friedmann’s equations)

(From Einstein’s eq. with cosmological constant
density i)
Deceleration:
i :matter ,radiation, cosmological constant pi =
pressureMatter (p = 0) and radiation (p= / 3) can only cause deceleration, while acceleration of the expansion is observedThe positive contribution from the cosmological constant(p = -) is needed to account for the accelerated expansion adds a (small) repulsive contribution to newtonian gravitation, proportional to distanceSome non standard interpretation of data still remain (inhomogeneities)

Supernovae flux The observed flux F from redshift is given by the luminosity distance dL(z):
find dL(z) using a light ray: geometrical (propagation) distance
M = M/c , , c c = critical energy time dilatation and Doppler reddening dL(z)=(1+z) R(z) z <<1 : dL(z) ~(1+z) z

Experimental Method
• SNLS = 36 2kx2k CCD at Canadian French Hawaii Telescope,
(4m diameter)• Take ‘reference’ images of star field date 1• Detect variable sources by subtraction date2-date 1• Select SNIa candidates (about ~300 true /year/20 deg
z<0.9) (Use time dependence of luminosity, colour, neighbourhood of galaxy,
etc…) • Take a spectrum of all or of a subsample of candidates to confirm typing of SNIa
• Difficulties:• Atmosphere : ‘seeing’ (spot of point source) changes, naive subtraction does not work: degrade reference to observation day with convolution kernel
• variable sources: asteroids, satellites,AGN,cepheids, etc…
eliminate with light curve, spectrum, colour
Subtraction in SNLS Observation Reference image Convoluted reference /kernel Galaxy + SN Galaxy, good seeing degrade ref to observed seeing

Cosmological parameters-1 ()
• Why (close to but not equal to 0 whatever it means) ?
• Extend to (time dependent) classical field (quintessence)
• Equation of state of ‘field’ p = w(z) (from stress tensor)
w = -1 for a cosmological constant• Parametrize w = w0 + w1z
• Adjust w0,w1 to data (assuming a flat universe)
Cosmological parameters -II (ww)
As errors too large assume w1=0Compatible with w = -1 (cosmological Cste)Large errorsBetter experimental data neededInhomogeneities unlikely
Improving data on Eq. of state
•Dark energy constant or field? Constant simpler, field has strange features, but …
•Data must be improved •Decrease systematics (10%) (Go to space)•Extend range/lever arm
•Up to z=1.7 (Go to space + NIR detectors)•Down to 0.03<z<0.1 (more statistics)
•Use other techniques:Weak Lensing, BAO
•SNFactory adresses the low z issue•Spectrophotometry as a tool for
•Understanding of SN explosions•Tests of evolution from near (low z) to distant (high z) •Create spectral templates at all phases for light curves
The SNFACTORY collaboration
•Cover the range 0.03<z<0.1 (Hubble flow + exposure time)•Measure spectra at all dates : improve light curve measurements In photometric filters (time dependent create templates)•Measure the total flux: no slit spectroscopy Integral Field Spectrograph

Flux measurement
Photometric (stable) nights: use calibration by known reference star
Non Photometric night: use photometric channel compare star fields with same in photo night
Main difficulty for flux estimate in spectro channel: good description of response to point source is needed (PSF,mostly atmospheric). changes from expo to expo (turbulence)
Other difficulty for SNIa: subtract host galaxy. Reference image needed, but PSF different only 1 star, no Kernel constraints.
Standard star light curve (synthetic filters)
• Test Case GD71 (V = 13) • 31 expo. various atm. conditions• ~3% flux accuracy 350 to 920 nm

•Challenging
•Filters must be controlled to a few 10-3
(despite ageing/cosmic rays + solar eruptions) •Good monitoring of pointing and PSF (Flux)
•Detailed monitoring of detector behaviour(Temperature stability, non linearity, Persistence, response maps, interpixel Properties, intrapixelproperties, etc…)
•Cross-check by other methods desirable

Weak Lensing Basics
• Lensing by 3D matter equivalent to sum of plane lenses with (projected) mass density
Dprop is propagation time characterises the convergence of the lens• ‘Cosmic shear’ measures mass distributions at
lower redshift than CMB• Maps dark matter• Probes dark energy at low redshifts
(subdominant at high redshifts

Determination of w (space/SNAP)
(Equation of state) Potential of weak lensing
Weak lensing systematics
• Mainsystematic is linked to instrumental/atmospheric PSF• Telescope distorsions generate ‘fake’ distorsion
correlations, must be corrected
• Effect is much larger than gravitational lensing (a few 10-
3)
• Need to control optical PSF to 10-7 (including pointing) For w measurement
• ‘at the edge’
Baryon Acoustic Oscillation
Similar to CMB, replace radiation by galaxies
Baryonic Acoustic Oscillation Stage IV-LSST Stage III-photometry
Stage III-spectroscopy Stage IV-SKA
Conclusions• SNIa is now a ‘mature’ probe, although not fully understood. • Space experiments needed for progress on cosmology/SN• Even in space,constraining dark energy with SNIa will be difficult• Other techniques: BAO promising, lots of room for improvements, not very sensitive to • Weak lensing: powerful, tough systematics/PSF• CMB: not really sensitive to • Universe is a ‘relevant’ laboratory
