Descripción
Obtaining a measure of the baryonic acoustic oscillations (BAO) is among
the top goals of cosmology in the beginning of the twenty-first century.
Detection of BAOs offers the possibility to test the standard
cosmological model, by providing strong constraints on the equation of
state of dark energy. The EUCLID-NIS mission proposes to measure BAOs by
mapping the 3D distribution of baryons at intermediate redshift, 1 <
z < 3. Such map will be derived from spectroscopic redshifts in the J
and H bands, for the order of 108 galaxies, from space. In
the current design, the instrument utilizes digital micromirror devices
(DMD) from Texas Instruments.
