Evidence for dark energy: cross-correlating SDSS5 and WMAP3

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We cross-correlate the third-year WMAP data with galaxy samples extracted from the SDSS DR5 (SDSS5) covering 16% of the sky. These measurements confirm a positive cross-correlation, which is well fitted by the integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect for flat LCDM models with a cosmological constant.
