402-0369-00L | Research Colloquium in Astrophysics | 0 credits | 1K | S. Cantalupo, S. Lilly, A. Refregier, K. Schawinski, H. M. Schmid | |
Abstract | During the semester there is a colloquium every week. In general, colloquia are 20 minutes plus discussion and are given by local researchers. They inform the other members of the Institute of Astronomy about their current work, results, problems and plans. Guests are always welcome. | ||||
Objective | Ph.D. students are expected to give a first research colloquium within their first years of their graduate time, another colloquium in their third year, and their doctoral exam talk before or after the exam. Other members of the institute are also invited to give talks. The goals are: - keep other members of the institute oriented on current research - test new ideas within the institute before going outside - train students to give scientific talks | ||||
402-0371-62L | Cosmological Probes | 6 credits | 2V + 1U | A. Refregier | |
Abstract | Our understanding of the universe has made great progress recently thanks to the combination of several cosmological probes such as the cosmic microwave background, galaxy clustering, gravitational lensing, and supernovae. After a review of cosmology, this course will cover the physics of these different probes along with their application, combination and use to measure cosmological parameters. | ||||
Objective | The goal of this course is to provide an understanding of the physics, application and combination of cosmological probes, and highlight current research topics. | ||||
Prerequisites / Notice | Credits or current enrollment in Astrophysics I and II is recommended but not required. |
