ECTS credits: 3
Language of instruction: English
Keywords: Cosmology, galaxy formation, early universe, theory
Exam: written
In the last 25 years, a number of astrophysical observations both ground-based and space-based (Cosmic Microwave Background, distant Supernovae, Baryonic acoustic oscillations, lensing) have allowed cosmology to evolve from an unconstrained theory to a well-tested model for the universe, where the main parameters are determined to a few percent accuracy. While several major gaps in our knowledge remain, such as the nature of dark matter and dark energy, the so-called ΛCDM model is currently the most successful framework for understanding the growing body of observational data.
In this course, we will first present a simple approach to the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) solution to the equation of General Relativity and derive the global evolution of the universe. We will then show how the physics of non-homogenous matter and radiation works out in such a framework and how it connects to observable quantities.
