Evolution of cosmological perturbations in the models with interacting dynamical dark energy

Evolution of cosmological perturbations is considered in the model with dynamical dark energy which non-gravitationally interacts with dark matter. The dark energy equation of state parameter (EoS) is varying in time and is parameterized by its adiabatic sound speed. Such model of interacting dark energy has advantages over model with constant EoS, because it avoids non-adiabatic instabilities of dark energy at radiation dominated epoch for certain types of interaction in dark sector. The stability conditions for solutions of equations of dark energy perturbations were derived. The impact of strength of additional interaction between dark components on the evolution of density and velocity perturbations in them is analysed for quintessence and phantom types of dark energy.

Impact of dynamical dark energy on the neutron star equilibrium

We study the density distribution of the minimally-coupled scalar field dark energy inside a neutron star. The dark energy is considered in the hydrodynamical representation as a perfect fluid with three parameters (background density, equation of state, and effective sound speed). The neutron star matter is modeled with three unified equations of state, developed by the Brussels-Montreal group. With the calculated density distribution of the dark energy inside a neutron star (and its dependence on the dark energy parameters) we investigate how its presence impacts the macroscopic characteristics and the value of the mass limit for neutron stars. From this impact we derive the possible constrains on the effective speed of sound of dark energy with the help of maximal known masses of observed neutron stars. In this approach, we have found, that the squared effective speed of sound can not be smaller than $\sim 10^{-2}$ in units of squared speed of light.

Thermal and Resonant Emission of Dark Ages Halos in the Rotational Lines of HeH$^{+}$

We analyse the thermal emission and resonant scattering of CMB radiation from the dark ages halos in the rotational lines of the helium hydride ion (HeH$^{+}$), one of the first chemical compounds in the Universe. Evaluating the optical depth, thermal and resonant brightness temperatures and spectral fluxes of dark ages halos is based on computing the cross-sections and rate coefficients of excitation/de-excitation of the lowest five rotational states of HeH$^{+}$ by inelastic collisions with atomic hydrogen. It was shown that in the Dark Ages the collisional excitation/de-excitation by atoms of neutral hydrogen and electrons are competitive, whereas in the denser regions, e.g., in the halos, the contribution of collisions with atomic hydrogen is dominant. We demonstrate the peak-like time-dependence of halo luminosities in HeH$^{+}$ lines.

Redshifted 21-cm emission signal from the halos in Dark Ages

The emission in the hyperfine structure 21 cm line of atomic hydrogen arising in the halos with masses $\sim10^6-10^{10}$ M$_\odot$ from the Dark Ages in the models with Warm Dark Matter (WDM) is analysed. The halos are assumed to be formed from Gaussian density peaks of cosmological density perturbations at $10\lesssim z\lesssim50$. Semi-analytical modelling of the formation of individual spherical halos in multi-component models shows that gas in them has the kinetic temperature in the range of $60-800$ K under adiabatic compression of the collapsing halo, and the temperature of each halo depends on the time of virialization. It is shown that inelastic collisions between neutral hydrogen atoms are the dominant excitation mechanism for hyperfine structure levels, which pulls the spin temperature closer to the kinetic temperature. The brightness temperature of individual halos is in the range of 1-10 K, depending on the mass of the halo and its virialization redshift, and increasing as these two increase. The apparent angular radii of such halos are in the range 0.06-1.2 arcseconds, their surface number density decreasing exponentially from a few per arcmin$^2$ for the lowest mass and redshift to nearly zero for higher values. Assuming a 1 MHz observation bandwidth the surface number density of the halo at various redshifts is evaluated as well as beam-averaged differential antenna temperatures and fluxes of hydrogen emission from halos of different masses. The beam-averaged signal strongly depends on the cut-off scale in the mass function of dark ages halos that may be caused by free-streaming of WDM particles. The finding is compared with the upper limits on the amplitude of the power spectrum of the hydrogen 21-cm line fluctuations derived from the recent observation data obtained with MWA and LOFAR.

Hydrogen Molecules in the Dark Ages Halos: Thermal Emission vs. Resonant Scattering

The emission from dark ages halos in the lines of transitions between lowest rotational levels of hydrogen and hydrogen deuteride molecules is analyzed. It is assumed molecules to be excited by CMB and collisions with hydrogen atoms. The physical parameters of halos and number density of molecules are precalculated in assumption that halos are homogeneous top-hat spheres formed from the cosmological density perturbations in the four-component Universe with post-Planck cosmological parameters. The differential brightness temperatures and differential spectral fluxes in the rotational lines of H$_2$-HD molecules are computed for two phenomena: thermal luminescence and resonant scattering of CMB radiation. The results show that expected maximal values of differential brightness temperature of warm halos ($T_K\sim$200-800 K) are at the level of nanokelvins, are comparable for both phenomena, and are below sensitivity of modern sub-millimeter radio telescopes. For hot halos ($T_K\sim$2000-5000 K) the thermal emission of H2-ortho molecules dominates and the differential brightness temperatures are predicted to be of a few microkelvins at the frequencies 300-600 GHz, that could be detectable with telescopes of a new generation.

Network analysis of the COSMOS galaxy field

The galaxy data provided by COSMOS survey for 1 by 1 degree field of sky are analysed by methods of complex networks. Three galaxy samples (slices) with redshifts ranging within intervals 0.88-0.91, 0.91-0.94 and 0.94-0.97 are studied as two-dimensional projections for the spatial distributions of galaxies. We construct networks and calculate network measures for each sample, in order to analyse the network similarity of different samples, distinguish various topological environments, and find associations between galaxy properties (colour index and stellar mass) and their topological environments. Results indicate a high level of similarity between geometry and topology for different galaxy samples and no clear evidence of evolutionary trends in network measures. The distribution of local clustering coefficient C manifests three modes which allow for discrimination between stand-alone singlets and dumbbells (0 <= C <= 0.1), intermediately (0 < C < 0.9) and clique (0.9 <= C <= 1) like galaxies. Analysing astrophysical properties of galaxies (colour index and stellar masses), we show that distributions are similar in all slices, however weak evolutionary trends can also be seen across redshift slices. To specify different topological environments we have extracted selections of galaxies from each sample according to different modes of C distribution. We have found statistically significant associations between evolutionary parameters of galaxies and selections of C: the distribution of stellar mass for galaxies with interim C differ from the corresponding distributions for stand-alone and clique galaxies, and this difference holds for all redshift slices. The colour index realises somewhat different behaviour.

Molecules in the early Universe

We study the formation of first molecules, negative Hydrogen ions and molecular ions in model of the Universe with cosmological constant and cold dark matter. The cosmological recombination is described in the framework of modified model of the effective 3-level atom, while the kinetics of chemical reactions in the framework of the minimal model for Hydrogen, Deuterium and Helium. It is found that the uncertainties of molecular abundances caused by the inaccuracies of computation of cosmological recombination are about 2-3%. The uncertainties of values of cosmological parameters affect the abundances of molecules, negative Hydrogen ions and molecular ions at the level of up to 2%. In the absence of cosmological reionization at redshift $z=10$ the ratios of abundances to the Hydrogen one are $3.08\times10^{-13}$ for $H^-$, $2.37\times10^{-6}$ for $H_2$, $1.26\times10^{-13}$ for $H_2^+$, $1.12\times10^{-9}$ for $HD$ and $8.54\times10^{-14}$ for $HeH^+$.

Dynamics of expansion of the Universe in model with the additional coupling between dark energy and dark matter

We study the dynamics of expansion of the homogeneous isotropic Universe and the evolution of its components in the model with nonminimally coupled dynamical dark energy. Dark energy, like the other components of the Universe, is described by the perfect fluid approximation with the equation of state (EoS) $p_ {de}=wρ_{de}$, where the EoS parameter $w$ depends on time and is parameterized via the squared adiabatic sound speed $c_{ a}^2$ which is assumed to be constant. On basis of the general covariant conservation equations for the interacting dark energy and dark matter and Einstein equations in Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker metric we analyze the evolution of energy densities of the hidden components and the dynamics of expansion of the Universe with two types of interaction: proportional to the sum of densities of the hidden components and proportional to their product. For the first interaction the analytical expressions for the densities of dark energy and dark matter were obtained and analyzed in detail. For the second one the evolution of densities of hidden components of the Universe was analyzed on basis of the numerical solutions of their energy-momentum conservation equations. For certain values of the parameters of these models the energy densities of dark components become negative. So to ensure that the densities are always positive we put constraints on the interaction parameter for both models.

Voids in the Cosmic Web as a probe of dark energy

The formation of large voids in the Cosmic Web from the initial adiabatic cosmological perturbations of space-time metric, density and velocity of matter is investigated in cosmological model with the dynamical dark energy accelerating expansion of the Universe. It is shown that the negative density perturbations with the initial radius of about 50 Mpc in comoving to the cosmological background coordinates and the amplitude corresponding to the r.m.s. temperature fluctuations of the cosmic microwave background lead to the formation of voids with the density contrast up to $-$0.9, maximal peculiar velocity about 400 km/s and the radius close to the initial one. An important feature of voids formation from the analyzed initial amplitudes and profiles is establishing the surrounding overdensity shell. We have shown that the ratio of the peculiar velocity in units of the Hubble flow to the density contrast in the central part of a void does not depend or weakly depends on the distance from the center of the void. It is also shown that this ratio is sensitive to the values of dark energy parameters and can be used to find them based on the observational data on mass density and peculiar velocities of galaxies in the voids.

Dynamics of expansion of the Universe in the models with non-minimally coupled dark energy

We consider the dark energy model with barotropic equation of state, which interacts with dark matter through gravitation and another force, causing the energy-momentum exchange between them. Both components are described in approximation of ideal fluids, which are parametrized by density and equation of state parameters. Three types of interactions between dark components are considered: the interaction independent from their densities, the one proportional to density of dark energy and the one proportional to density of dark matter. The equations which describe the expansion dynamics of homogeneous and isotropic Universe and evolution of densities of both components for different values of interaction parameter are obtained on the bases of the general covariant conservation equations and Einstein's ones. For three kinds of interactions we show the existence of the range of values of parameters of dark energy for which the densities of dark components and their sum are negative. We find the conditions of positivity of density of dark energy and dark matter. The constraints on the value of parameter of interaction are derived. The dynamics of expansion of the Universe with these interactions of dark energy and dark matter is analysed.

Dynamics of dark energy in collapsing halo of dark matter

We investigate the non-linear evolution of spherical density and velocity perturbations of dark matter and dark energy in the expanding Universe. For that we have used the conservation and Einstein equations to describe the evolution of gravitationally coupled inhomogeneities of dark matter, dark energy and radiation from linear stage in the early Universe to the non-linear one at the current epoch. The simple method of the numerical integration of the system of non-linear differential equations for evolution of the central part of halo is proposed. The results are presented for halo of cluster ($k=2$ Mpc$^{-1}$) and supercluster scales ($k=0.2$ Mpc$^{-1}$) and show that quintessential scalar field dark energy with small value of effective speed of sound $c_s<0.1$ can give noticeable impact on the formation of large scale structures in the expanding Universe.

Distribution of dark energy in the vicinity of compact objects

The distribution of dark energy density in the vicinity of compact static objects is analyzed. Dark energy is assumed to be in the form of a scalar field with three parameters: the background density, the equation of state parameter and the effective sound speed. Compact object is assumed to be a homogeneous spherical object of constant radius. We use the solutions of the hydrodynamical equations for dark energy in the gravitational fields of such objects for cases of static distribution of dark energy in the vicinity of star and stationary accretion onto black hole in order to analyze the possibility of constraining of the parameters of dark energy from astrophysical data. We show that dependence of density of dark energy in the vicinity of such object on the effective sound speed, background density and equation of state parameter of dark energy makes it possible to try such tests. Here we exploit the accuracy of determination of masses of Sun and black hole in the center of Milky Way to obtain the lower limit on the effective sound speed of dark energy.

Dynamics of dark energy in the gravitational fields of matter inhomogeneities

We study the dynamical properties and space distribution of dark energy in the weak and strong gravitational fields caused by inhomogeneities of matter in the static world of galaxies and clusters. We show that the dark energy in the weak gravitational fields of matter density perturbations can condense or dilute, but amplitudes of its perturbations remain very small on all scales. We illustrate also how the "accretion" of the phantom dark energy onto the matter overdensity forms the dark energy underdensity. We analyze the behavior of dark energy in the gravitational fields of stars and black holes with the Schwarzschild metric. It is shown that, in the case of stars, the static solution of the differential equations for energy-momentum conservation exists and describes the distribution of density of dark energy inside and outside of a star. We have found that for stars and galaxies its value differs slightly from the average and is a bit higher for the quintessential scalar field as dark energy and a bit lower for the phantom one. The difference grows with the decrease of the effective sound speed of dark energy and is large in the neighborhood of neutron stars. We obtain and analyze also the solutions of equations that describe the stationary accretion of the dark energy as a test component onto the Schwarzschild black hole. It is shown that the rate of change of mass of the dark energy is positive in the case of quintessential dark energy and is negative in the case of the phantom one.

Constraining the dynamical dark energy parameters: Planck-2013 vs WMAP9

We determine the best-fit values and confidence limits for dynamical dark energy parameters together with other cosmological parameters on the basis of different datasets which include WMAP9 or Planck-2013 results on CMB anisotropy, BAO distance ratios from recent galaxy surveys, magnitude-redshift relations for distant SNe Ia from SNLS3 and Union2.1 samples and the HST determination of the Hubble constant. We use a Markov Chain Monte Carlo routine to map out the likelihood in the multi-dimensional parameter space. We show that the most precise determination of cosmological parameters with the narrowest confidence limits is obtained for the Planck{+}HST{+}BAO{+}SNLS3 dataset. The best-fit values and 2$σ$ confidence limits for cosmological parameters in this case are $Ω_{de}=0.718\pm0.022$, $w_0=-1.15^{+0.14}_{-0.16}$, $c_a^2=-1.15^{+0.02}_{-0.46}$, $Ω_bh^2=0.0220\pm0.0005$, $Ω_{cdm}h^2=0.121\pm0.004$, $h=0.713\pm0.027$, $n_s=0.958^{+0.014}_{-0.010}$, $A_s=(2.215^{+0.093}_{-0.101})\cdot10^{-9}$, $τ_{rei}=0.093^{+0.022}_{-0.028}$. For this dataset, the $Λ$CDM model is just outside the 2$σ$ confidence region, while for the dataset WMAP9{+}HST{+}BAO{+}SNLS3 the $Λ$CDM model is only 1$σ$ away from the best fit. The tension in the determination of some cosmological parameters on the basis of two CMB datasets WMAP9 and Planck-2013 is highlighted.

Quintessence versus phantom dark energy: the arbitrating power of current and future observations

We analyze the possibility to distinguish between quintessence and phantom scalar field models of dark energy using observations of luminosity distance moduli of SNe Ia, CMB anisotropies and polarization, matter density perturbations and baryon acoustic oscillations. Among the present observations only Planck data on CMB anisotropy and SDSS DR9 data on baryon acoustic oscillations may be able to decide between quintessence or phantom scalar field models, however for each model a set of best-fit parameters exists, which matches all data with similar goodness of fit. We compare the relative differences of best-fit model predictions with observational uncertainties for each type of data and we show that the accuracy of SNe Ia luminosity distance data is far from the one necessary to distinguish these types of dark energy models, while the CMB data (WMAP, ACT, SPT and especially Planck) are close to being able to reliably distinguish them. Also an improvement of the large-scale structure data (future releses of SDSS BOSS and e.g. Euclid or BigBOSS) will enable us to surely decide between quintessence and phantom dark energy.

Scalar field models of dark energy with barotropic equation of state: properties and observational constraints from different datasets

The possibility of constraining the parameters of scalar field dark energy with barotropic equation of state using different available datasets is discussed. It has been found that the initial value of dark energy equation of state parameter is constrained very weakly by most of the data. We have determined the constraints on this parameter, which come from the combined dataset including supernovae from the full SDSS compilation with the MLCS2k2 fitting of light curves. We discuss also the possibility of distinguishing between different dark energy models with barotropic equation of state using the future data on CMB anisotropies.

Properties and uncertainties of scalar field models of dark energy with barotropic equation of state

The dynamics of expansion and large scale structure formation in the multicomponent Universe with dark energy modeled by the minimally coupled scalar field with generalized linear barotropic equation of state (EoS) are analyzed. It is shown that the past dynamics of expansion and future of the Universe -- eternal accelerated expansion or turnaround and collapse -- are completely defined by the current energy density of a scalar field and relation between its current and early EoS parameters. The clustering properties of such models of dark energy and their imprints in the power spectrum of matter density perturbations depend on the same relation and, additionally, on the "effective sound speed" of a scalar field, defined by its Lagrangian. It is concluded that such scalar fields with different values of these parameters are distinguishable in principle. This gives the possibility to constrain them by confronting the theoretical predictions with the corresponding observational data. For that we have used the 7-year WMAP data on CMB anisotropies, the Union2 dataset on Supernovae Ia and SDSS DR7 data on luminous red galaxies (LRG) space distribution. Using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo technique the marginalized posterior and mean likelihood distributions are computed for the scalar fields with two different Lagrangians: Klein-Gordon and Dirac-Born-Infeld ones. The properties of such scalar field models of dark energy with best fitting parameters and uncertainties of their determination are also analyzed in the paper.
