Lecture 14
Rest of the course continues with Cosmology Will star t by reminding ourselves about the Friedmann-Rober tson-Walker metric and its derivation Going to assume that from Par t II Astrophysics we know what the spatial metric is for a space of constant curvature, and then show how to join this to a time par t to get a metric for the Universe This par t just repeats what we did in Par t II Astro -- however then we will move on to new concepts, principally the concept of how we measure distance in the universe This turns out to be quite surprising. Will study it mathematically today, but next time will link with direct observations which aim to probe the geometry (closed, open or flat?) of the universe, and its dynamics












Now know a version of the Metric for the universe, and want to work out consequences for things we can observe -- distances, angles etc. -- the redshift. Our information about the universe comes primarily from photons moving radially. Thus would be nice if the radial par t of the metric was simple. To achieve this define a new comoving radial coordinate

via k = +1, k = 0, k = -1.

The overall FRW metric then becomes

This form of the metric, which we have arrived at after two radial coordinate transformations (first remember it in.

The crucial point is that if the galaxy can be treated as a fundamental observer (i.e. moving with the cosmic fluid without a peculiar velocity of its own), then its fixed. This enables us to work out the redshift. coordinate is
