PDF-(READ)-Foundations of Modern Cosmology

Recent discoveries in astronomy especially those made with data collected by satellites such as the Hubble Space Telescope and the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe have revolutionized the science of cosmology These new observations offer the possibility that some longstanding mysteries in cosmology might be answered including such fundamental questions as the ultimate fate of the universe descriptive introduction to the physical basis for modern cosmological theory from the big bang to a distant future dominated by dark energy This second edition includes the latest observational results and provides the detailed background material necessary to understand their implications with a focus on the specific model supported by these observations the concordance model Consistent with the books title basics concepts of physics that underlie modern theories of relativity and cosmology the importance of data and observations is stressed throughout The book sketches the historical background of cosmology and provides a review of special and general relativity are treated before proceeding to an indepth discussion of the big bang theory and physics of the early universe The book includes current research areas including dark matter and structure formation dark energy the inflationary universe and quantum cosmology The authors website http www astrovirginiaedu jh8hFoundations offers a wealth of supplemental information including discoveries.
