Cosmological Parameters

  • Conference paper
Sources and Detection of Dark Matter and Dark Energy in the Universe

Abstract

The cosmological parameters that I will emphasize are the Hubble parameter H 0 ≡ 100h km s−1 Mpc−1, the age of the universe t 0, the average matter density Ω m , the baryonic matter density Ω b , the neutrino density Ω υ , and the cosmological constant ΩΛ. The evidence currently favors t 0 ≈ 13 Gyr, h ≈ 0.65, Ω m ≈ 0.4 ± 0.1, Ω b = 0.02h −2, 0.001 < Ω υ < 0.1, and ΩΛ ≈ 0.7.
