Azores school on observational cosmology, Azores, Portugal
31 August 2011 - 31 August 2011
Portugal
The Azores school on observational cosmology will take place from 31 August to 6 September 2011 in Azores, Portugal.
Observational cosmology is the study of the structure, the evolution and the origin of the universe through observation. The field tests the predictions of theoretical cosmology and has led to the refinement of cosmological models. For example, the observational evidence for dark matter has heavily influenced theoretical modeling of structure and galaxy formation.
Observational cosmology is going through a particularly exciting period. A range of ground and space experiments are gathering an unprecedented amount of high-quality data, which will help fuel discussion and debate during the conference on such topics as:
- the nature of dark energy and dark matter;
- the statistical properties of primordial fluctuations;
- the possible existence of a stochastic gravitational wave background;
- the fundamental constituents of nature.For further information, please visit: http://cosmocoffee.info/viewtopic.php?p=4994&sid=414b1a4299725dce99d2e34aa6dd2a11(opens in new window)
