Question

Assume a flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe.
Calculate the redshift z at which the temperature of the CMB was T = 10 T0, where T0 is the
temperature of the CMB today. Assuming the universe was matter dominated throughout its
evolution, calculate the time at which T = 10 T0 in Gigayears.

Calculate the Hubble time for a universe with a Hubble constant of 60 km-s-1.Mpc-1.
By what factor would the critical density of the universe today change if the Hubble constant today measured at 5 times greater than what we previously thought?
The Hubble constant is (approximately) 70 kilometers per second per megaparsec. At approximately how far in the future, will the scale-factor be 1% larger than it is today?
At what temperature is the thermal radiation in the universe energetic enough to produce nucleons and antinucleons?
In the reading, you were told that there were roughly 10,000 galaxies in the image of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field alone. The image is roughly 10 square arcminutes and there are roughly 1.5*10^8 square arcminutes composing the entire sky. With that in mind and assuming that the Hubble Ultra Deep Field represents an average part of the sky, roughly how many galaxies may exist in the observable universe? (Please include commas for every factor of 1,000; for example 2,343,567,890)
With the aid of a diagram, explain the physical origin of cosmological redshift in an expanding universe, and how this differs from the Doppler shift due to relative motion. Observations of distantgalaxies indicate that their recession velocities, v, and their distances, d, follow a Hubble Law:v = H0d, where H0 is a constant. Using the analogy of an expanding grid or ruler, demonstratethat Hubble’s Law indicates that the Universe is undergoing uniform expansion.
Briefly explain what is meant by “particle horizon” and “event horizon” in cosmology. Calculate the physical particle horizon, RH(t), at time t. Assume a flat FRW universe whichis dominated by a fluid that gives rise to scale factor evolution where n is a constant with 0 < n < 1, and a(t0) = a0.
Estimate the critical density of the universe if the Hubble's constant was 100 km/s/Mpc.
If you observe light emitted from a distance object when the cosmic background temperature was Tz=54K, what is the redshift z of that light? At that redshift, what was the diameter Dz of the universe at that time compared to the diameter of today's universe D0?
