    The Cosmic Microwave Background has been our most profilic source of precision cosmology data. The monopole spectrum of the CMB is the dominant radiation field at 1 mm at 1 AU from the Sun. The anisotropy of the CMB is 10,000 times smaller, but still easily measurable over the galactic foreground. But the polarization anisotropy of the CMB is another order of magnitude smaller, and the B-mode...

    Talk

    The accelerated expansion of the Universe is the most surprising cosmological discovery in decades. It has inspired a new generation ambitious surveys to determine the fundamental nature of this acceleration. This talk will introduce the different measurement techniques used by these surveys, and describe the landscape of current and near future cosmological sky surveys. This talk will...

  4. 7. Tommaso Treu (UCLA): Probing dark matter with strong gravitational lensing

    Talk

    Strong gravitational lensing is a powerful and unique probe of the nature of dark matter. Relying only on dark matter's gravitational interaction, strong lensing can test dark matter models that range from primordial black holes to warm, cold, and self-interacting. After a brief introduction to strong lensing as a probe of dark matter I will review some of the most exciting recent results and...
