Условие

In a flat, matter-dominated universe, the scale factor aa is described by the equation:

a=(tt0)2/3(2)a = \left(\frac{t}{t_0}\right)^{2/3} \qquad (2)

where t0t_0 is the present age of the universe, at which a=1a = 1. A spectroscopic study of uranium/thorium content revealed the age of the galaxy to be 12.3 Gyr.

a Given that the galaxy was formed 500 million years after the Big Bang, what value of the Hubble Constant H0H_0 would be consistent with this estimate? [4 т.]

b Determine the corresponding value of the critical density as well. [3 т.]

If you may require it, the Friedmann equations are given by:

H2=(a˙a)2=8πG3ρ−kc2a2(3)H^2 = \left(\frac{\dot{a}}{a}\right)^2 = \frac{8\pi G}{3}\rho - \frac{kc^2}{a^2} \qquad (3)

You are also given that ddx(xn)=nxn−1\frac{d}{dx}(x^n) = nx^{n-1}.
