Topic: Observational cosmology

	An Introduction to Cosmology - Cambridge University Press
		It begins with an introduction to cosmology and general relativity, and goes on to cover the mathematical models of standard cosmology.
		The physical aspects of cosmology, including primordial nucleosynthesis, the astroparticle physics of inflation, and the current ideas on structure formation are discussed.
		This introductory textbook describes modern cosmology at a level suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduates who are familiar with mathematical methods and basic theoretical physics.

	Cosmology
		Observational cosmology is concerned with the physical properties of the Universe, such as chemical composition, density and rate of expansion, distribution of galaxies and clusters of galaxies.
		Physical cosmology attempts to explain the properties of observational cosmology by applying the known laws of physics and astrophysics.
		Theoretical cosmology, which we will be exploring here, is concerned with creating models that give a mathematical explanation of the observed properties of the Universe based on discoveries of physical cosmology.

	CIAR Cosmology Report (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Cosmology as a science began in this century with the development by Einstein of his theory of gravity, or General Relativity, as it is sometimes called.
		To become more than an intellectual curiosity, cosmology required both a sufficiently sophisticated theory to describe which of the currently observable features are remnants from those earliest stages, and the observational techniques sufficiently sensitive to see those features.
		In addition to links between physical cosmology and gravity which his work on fl holes in galactic nuclei forges, his work also forms a bridge between the formation of the universe and the formation of the planets (especially the one we live on).

	Boomerang - Caltech Observational Cosmology Group
		The scientific interpretation of the result was published simultaneously by Dicke, Peebles, Roll, and Wilkinson who had been collaborating on a dedicated experiment to detect this relic radiation just as Penzias and Wilson made their discovery.
		The preponderance of the observational evidence indicates that about 14 billion years ago the observable Universe was a small fraction of the size that it is today.
		Within the context of Relativistic Cosmology, beams of light which are initially parallel to one another need not remain so indefinitely.

	Observational Cosmology at SO
		The research of the group is focused on extra-galactic astronomy, mainly from an observational viewpoint.
		Areas under study includes the formation and evolution of galaxies, clusters of galaxies, starburst galaxies, high redshift galaxies, supernova cosmology, host galaxies of supernovae and gamma ray bursts, and gravitational lensing.
		One of the major undertakings of the group right now is to conduct a Large Programme at ESO/VLT: a survey of high redshift supernovae from which we reconstruct the cosmic star formation rate history, as traced by core-collapse supernovae.

		He developed new observational techniques and opened new areas of inquiry in fields ranging from the pulsations of stars, to tests of cosmological models at great distances, to searches for quasars.
		His lifetime contribution to extragalactic astronomy and cosmology, and his influence on his colleagues, is unmatched by any other astronomer.
		His important contributions to astronomy and cosmology have led to various honorary degrees from Yale University, University of Illinois, University of Chicago, University of Southern California, Miami University (Ohio), Graceland College, and the University of Chile.

	John Salzer - Observational Cosmology Research
		One decade ago, astronomers were investing a great deal of observational effort in measuring the redshifts for thousands of galaxies and mapping out their distribution to distances of 200 Mpc and beyond.
		Two types of observational data are necessary for determining distances using the TF relation.
		With these observational data in hand, and after applying a series of corrections to account for such things as internal and external extinction (due to dust) and the effect of inclination on the observed rotation speed, one can estimate the distance to each galaxy in the sample using the TF relation.

	Physics 410/510 Observational Cosmology
		During this period several new kinds of theories and observations have come into existence and our expectations of a simple and well-behaved large scale universe are proving to be naieve.
		Theory today is bombarded by a vast array of observational data but there remains no clear and preferred model for the origin and evolution of structure in the Universe.
		This will be the principal theme of the course: to outline in understandable terms what the latest observations are and how they are either consistent or in conflict with competeting cosmogenic scenarios.

	Ned Wright's Cosmology Tutorial - Part 1
		Until a few hundred years ago, the Solar System and the Universe were equivalent in the minds of scientists, so the discovery that the Earth is not the center of the Solar System was an important step in the development of cosmology.
		So by the 1920's, the stage was set for the critical observational discoveries that led to the Big Bang model of the Universe.
		In 1929 Hubble [1, 2, 3] published a claim that the radial velocities of galaxies are proportional to their distance.

		Conventional lectures may be a good way of getting a set of notes into your folder, but they are too passive to be a very good way of communicating real understanding.
		This course is based on the idea that your grasp of cosmology will be much better if you research and assemble your own set of notes.

	Galaxies and the Universe - Observational Cosmology
		This is deeply tied to observations bearing on the formation, evolution, and distribution of galaxies.
		As discussed by Sandage 1988, most applications of this test are more sensitive to galaxy evolution than to cosmology (because the universe is old enough for us to be here talking about it).
		These were finally detected in a convincing way by the COBE group, with subsequent confirmation by ground-based observations from Tenerife and Antarctica as well as balloon-borne instruments.
