Undergrad Discover the Latest Cosmological Parameters for the CDM Lambda Concordance Model

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on the search for the most current cosmological parameters in the Lambda Cold Dark Matter model, specifically Ho, Omega_m, and Omega_lambda. Participants highlight the discrepancies between older textbook values and recent findings, noting that the 2015 Planck data release is considered the most reliable source for these parameters. The original poster expresses confusion over varying values, particularly for Ho, which has been reported as low as 69 km/s/Mpc. It is clarified that while values may vary, the Planck data is widely accepted for its accuracy. The conversation concludes with the intent to utilize the Planck data for further understanding.

Cosmological paramaters in the cold dark matter Lamda concordance model.

I have been trying to find the most
uptodate values for Ho , Ohmega m and Ohmega Lamgad

I was wondering if anyone knows where I might find the most reliably, widely accepted values for these values that are currently known?

The textbook I am using was published in 2010 gives: Ho 72 kms^-1Mpc^-1 Ohmega Lamda 0.742. Ohmega m 0.358 (this includes all contributions from baryonic matter and dark matter etc.). I found though a more recent paper which seemed to be giving a lower value of about 69 for Ho and slightly different values for the other paramaters. So like I say, is there somewhere where I can find the most accepted values known today?
 
Space news on Phys.org
Try google with the name of the parameters
 
2015 PLANCK data release is the most recent, I believe:
https://arxiv.org/abs/1502.01589

It's not the matter of what's accepted, but of increasing accuracy.
 
Thanks. So it is accepted then the Planck data is the most accurate to date? The reason I ask this is because I had been wading through so much, which is why I was using the word accepted, meaning the it is not contested that the Planck data is the most accurate. Any way I will use this data - thanks
