| Video......... | Astronomy from Space (by Thierry Courvoisier, 2005) |
| Description: | In the very wide field of High Energy astrophysics we will select a number of topics that range from the source of radiative energy in the deep potential well around Schwarzschild and ... |
| Video/text.... | Search for Dark Matter (by B. Sadoulet, 2004) |
| Description: | In the first lecture, I will review the most recent cosmological evidence for the pervading dark matter in the universe and the emerging consensus that it is not ordinary matter. ... |
| Video/text.... | The cosmic microwave background (by Mattias Zaldarriaga, 2004) |
| Description: | The Cosmic Microwave Background has become an indispensable tool for cosmology. The measurement of its frequency spectrum firmly established the Hot Big Bang model of the Universe. ... |
