Cosmology (Bonn)
In the module Cosmology you will deepen previous knowledge and specialize in astrophysics, acquire and train new skills. This includes
- to acquire deep understanding of the basics of our world models and their consequences with a special focus on the formation of structures in the universe,
- to perceive the connections between the fundamental questions of cosmology and particle physics (dark matter and dark energy),
- to see the benefits and limits of the interplay between observations and theoretical modelling.
The module prepares for topics of current research in cosmology and towards their own research activity within the master thesis. Lectures in the SAoS Cosmology can be chosen from a list here. For introduction, the lecture Cosmology, astro812, is strongly recommended.
