  • \(\Lambda\)CDM is still best fit to observations.
  • Some questions remain:
  • \(\Lambda\) and CDM.
  • Cosmological Constant Problem:

(Zeldovich 1967, Weinberg 1989, Martin 2012).
 Composed of naturalness and coincidence

Parametrized modified gravity

\rm{d}s^2 = -(1+2\Psi) \rm{d}t^2 + a^2(1-2\Phi) \rm{d}x^2

In \(\Lambda\)CDM the two linear gravitational potentials \(\Psi\) and \(\Phi\) are equal to each other

We can describe general modifications of gravity (of the metric) at the linear level with 2 functions of scale (\(k\)) and time (\(a\))

\Sigma(a,k) = \frac{1}{2}\mu(a,k)(1+\eta(a,k))

Only two independent functions

Late-time parametrization: Planck constraints

  • Using Planck satellite data in 2015 and 2018, constraints were obtained on these two functions \(\mu\) and \(\eta\).
  • Late-time parametrization: dependent on Dark Energy fraction

Forecasts for Stage-IV surveys in:

Santiago Casas, 06.12.22

Late-time: Old SKA1, Euclid forecasts

Casas et al (2017), arXiv:1703.01271

  • Old SKA1 forecasts contain only WL continuum and GCsp from HI galaxies
  • Linear GCsp formalism and no IA params in WL

Santiago Casas, 06.12.22

Late-time: Old SKA1, Euclid forecasts

Casas et al (2017), arXiv:1703.01271

  • However, we do roughly recover the same contour orientations and constraints with the new WL SKA1 forecasts.
  • Deeply non-linear Pk recipe is the same, using an interpolation to recover GR at small scales.

Intensity Mapping

  • IM probes the underlying matter power spectrum.
  • There is a density bias given by the HI mass contained in dark matter halos.
  • 21cm brightness temperature depends on cosmological background evolution and the energy fraction of neutral Hydrogen in the Universe \(\Omega_{HI}\).
  • \(P_{\delta\delta,zs}(z,k) \) is the redshift space matter power spectrum

\(P^{\rm IM}(z,k) = \bar{T}_{IM}(z)^2 \rm{AP}(z) K_{\rm rsd}^2(z, \mu; b_{\rm HI}) \)
\(FoG(z,k,\mu_\theta) \\ \times P_{\delta\delta,dw}(z,k)  \)

\(\Omega_{HI}  = 4(1+z)^{0.6} \times 10^{-4} \)

\( \bar{T}_{\mathrm{IM}}(z)= 189h \frac{(1+z)^2 H_0}{H(z)}\Omega_{HI}(z) \,\,{\rm mK} \)

Jolicoeur et al (2020) arXiv:2009.06197

Carucci et al (2020) arXiv:2006.05996

\( K_{\rm rsd}(z, \mu; b_{\rm HI}) = [b_{\rm HI}(z)^2+f(z)\mu^2] \)

\( b_{\rm HI}(z) = 0.3(1+z) + 0.6 \)

Santiago Casas, 06.12.22

Intensity Mapping x GCsp

  • The cross correlation combines one term of brightness temperature with one Kaiser term for each "redshift sample".
  • Same underlying matter power spectrum for both probes.
  • A combined redshift error (damping along the line of sight), where "sp" dominates, since the IM resolution is 1-2 orders of magnitude better.

\(\sigma_i(z) = \frac{c}{H(z)}(1+z) \delta_z\)

\(P^{{\rm IM} \times \rm{g}}(z,k) = \bar{T}_{\rm IM}(z) {\rm AP} (z) r_{\rm IM,opt}  K_{\rm rsd}(z, \mu; b_{\rm HI}) \)
\( \times K_{\rm rsd}(z, \mu; b_{\rm g}) FoG(z,k,\mu_\theta) P_{\delta\delta,dw}(z,k) \)

\( \times \exp[-\frac{1}{2} k^2 \mu^2 (\sigma_{\rm IM}(z)^2+\sigma_{\rm sp}(z)^2)]  \)

Santiago Casas, 06.12.22

Intensity Mapping

  • \(P_{gg}\) underlying galaxy power spectrum.
  • \(P_{IM}/T_{b}^2\) IM power spectrum.
  • \(P_{IM,g}/T_{b}^2\) cross-spectrum.
  • Angle-dependent beam effect is in the signal, damps accross the l.o.s.
  • Along the l.o.s. damping due to FoG, but higher amplitude due to Kaiser.

Galaxy Clustering - IM Synergies

  • GCsp-IM Cross-correlation in overlapping bins
  • Addition in disjoint bins
  • No GCsp-GCsp cross-correlation

Santiago Casas, 06.12.22

SKAO  Results

 

  • GC-IM probes measure \(\mu\) at small \(z\), where \(\mu\) becomes important.

 

  • Continuum probes measure better \(\Sigma\) ; Weyl potential is important.

Santiago Casas, 06.12.22

SKAO  Results

 

  • Blue: Combined GCsp+IM (3D)
     
  • Yellow: Combined continuum probes (2D: angular)
     
  • Purple: Combination of 3D and angular probes
     
  • Constraints on \(\mu\) are good in angular, due to the XC contribution from GCco clustering.

Santiago Casas, 06.12.22

SKAO  Results

  • Combining all SKAO probes (optimistic), 2-3% errors on \(\mu\) and \(\Sigma\).
  • Minor improvement from Planck, mainly through ISW and CMB lensing.

Santiago Casas, 06.12.22

SKAO  x DESI cross-correlation

 

  • GCxIM probes do not improve our MG parameters, but improve \(h\) and \(\sigma_8\)

DESI_B: low-z Bright Galaxy Sample

SKAO GCsp: low-z HI Galaxies

SKAO  x DESI cross-correlation

 

  • However, when combined with angular probes, there is a larger gain.

SKAO  + optical

 

  • SKAO + one Stage-IV survey is as competitive as two Stage-IV surveys

Conclusions

  • \(\Lambda\)CDM is still the best fit to observations, however certain theoretical uncertainties and tensions in data are still of concern.
  • Constraining modifications of gravity at the level of perturbations -> hints for alternative models.
  • SKAO will be able to probe weak lensing and matter density perturbations in novel and independent ways compared to optical surveys.
  • This will place constraints on deviations of standard gravity at yet unexplored redshifts.
  • Synergies with optical surveys, like Euclid, DESI and Rubin, including cross-correlations are promising to remove systematics and break degeneracies.
  • Using the good z-resolution of SKAO HI IM could place tight constraints on redshift-binned parametrizations.

Unfortunately, the \(\mu\) constraints from Euclid alone dominate over the improvement that SKA1 "Pk-probes" add
