Cosmological constrains from X-ray AGN clustering and SNIa data

Astrophysics 2009-11-10 v1

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 z1.2z\sim 1.2, 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 Λ\LambdaCDM model with: Ωm0.28\Omega_{\rm m}\simeq 0.28, w1w\simeq -1, H72H_{\circ} \simeq 72 km s1^{-1} Mpc1^{-1}, t13.5t_{\circ}\simeq 13.5Gyr 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 Ωm0.38\Omega_{\rm m}\simeq 0.38, w1.25w\simeq -1.25, H70H_{\circ} \simeq 70 km s1^{-1} Mpc1^{-1}, t12.9t_{\circ}\simeq 12.9Gyr.
