Cosmological constrains from X-ray AGN clustering and SNIa data
Abstract
We put constraints on the main cosmological parameters of different spatially flat cosmological models by combining the recent clustering results of XMM-Newton soft (0.5-2 keV) X-ray sources, which have a redshift distribution with median redshift , and SNIa data. Using a likelihood procedure we find that the model which best reproduces the observational data and that is consistent with stellar ages is the concordance CDM model with: , , km s Mpc, Gyr and has an X-ray AGN clustering evolution which is constant in physical coordinates. For a different clustering evolution model (constant in comoving coordinates) we find another viable model, although less probable due to the smaller age of the Universe, with , , km s Mpc, Gyr.
