Book excerpt: Despite a remarkable increase in our knowledge, how much is really known about the history of the galaxies and the structure of the universe in general? Is 'space' limited, or is it infinite? How old is the universe, and how long may it be expected to endure? These and other questions are discussed by the author in the light of the latest findings of astronomy and astrophysics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un exemple courant de distance "astronomique" est celle qui sépare notre soleil de l'étoile la plus proche: 4 années lumière, soit quelques dizaines de milliers de milliards de kilomètres... Comment pourrait-on alors qualifier le diamètre de notre galaxie, cette voie lactée dont le soleil n'est qu'une des milliards d'étoiles :100 000 années-lumière! Le vertige cosmique est assuré pour la plongée dans le ciel profond à laquelle nous convient ici deux astronomes. Partant de la structure des galaxies elles-mêmes, ils élargissent le champ de vision pour montrer les amas et superamas de galaxies qui semblent dessiner une "mousse" faite de bulles à peu près vides entourées de gigantesques filaments. Cette mystérieuse topologie d'espace-temps défie durablement les théories cosmologiques et ouvre aux observateurs le fascinant champ d'étude de l'optique gravitationnelle. De la Voie lactée à Andromède, du Nuage de Magellan aux plus lointains quasars, un merveilleux voyage pour comprendre la structure de l'Univers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1. The Workshop and this Tome In the excellent bucolic setting of SchloB Ringberg in Upper Bavaria, over 50 scientists assembled during the week of 23-28 September 1996 to discuss recent results, both theoretical and observational in nature, on the large scale structure of the Universe. Such a topic is perhaps nowadays far too encompassing, and is essentially all of what we used to call "observational cosmology. " The original philosophy of the organization of this meeting was deliber ated aimed at the younger community and their contributions. As a conse quence, the content of the presentations was refreshingly new, as it should be. In spite of the deficiences caused by the lack of certain key researchers in this field, for one reason or another, the final result was rewarding to all. Although the conference was held in Fall 1996, the contributions contained herein were submitted as late as Spring 1998, thus the content maintains some degree of trendiness. Originally the current volume was to be a "proceedings. " This refers to the usual archival tome that fills one's shelf and is rarely consulted, except to see the canonical group photo, which by the way, we also have. Nevertheless, I wanted something more than that. Although the field is rapidly changing, with so-called facts in a state ofconstant volubility, now is a good time for reflection prior to the commencement ofthe Sloan Survey, presumably the definitive large-scale program of low- to moderate-redshift galaxies in our lifetime.

This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The significance of the present IAU symposium, "The Large Scale Structure of the Universe", fortunately requires no elaboration by the editors. The quality of the wide range of observational and theoretical astrophysics contained in this volume speaks for itself. The published version of the proceedings contains all the contributions presented at the symposium with the exception of the introductory lecture by V. A. Ambartsumian. Contributed papers, short contributions and discussions have been included according to the recommendations of the IAU. Many people contributed to the success of the symposium. First of all, thanks are due to the USSR Academy of Sciences and to the Estonian Academy of Sciences for sponsoring this symposium in Tallinn. The efforts of Academician K. Rebane, President of the Estonian Academy of Sciences, are particularly appreciated. The astronomical hosts of the symposium were the members of the W. Struve Astrophysical Observatory of Tartu who made outstanding efforts to lavish participants with Estonian hospitality which was greatly appreciated and enjoyed by them and their guests. The members of the Scientific and Local Organising Committees are listed below and we thank all of them for their contributions which were central to the success of the symposium. In addition are listed members of the Technical Organising Committee who were responsible for all details of the organisation and whose vigilance ensured that all aspects of the symposium ran smoothly and efficiently. Their contributions are all gratefully acknowledged.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Structure of the Universe by Paul Halpern, Ph.D., originally published in 1996, is a tour of the knowledge of the deep reaches of space and predictions for its future. Technological marvels such as the Hubble Space Telescope are revealing a wealth of information about the deepest reaches of space. After decades of research, scientists now believe they are closer to discovering the 'missing matter,' the invisible stuff left over from the Big Bang that will determine the ultimate fate of the universe. With each discovery new light is shed on scores of old questions, and at the same time new questions arise.

Download or read book The Large scale Structure of the Universe written by Phillip James Edwin Peebles and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opinions on the large-scale structure of the early universe range widely from primeval chaos to a well-ordered mass distribution. P.J.E. Peebles argues that the evolution proceeded from a nearly uniform initial state to a progressively more irregular and clumpy universe. The discussion centers on the largest known structures, the clusters of galaxies, the empirical evidence of the nature of the clustering, and the theories of how the clustering evolves in an expanding universe. In Chapter One the author provides an historical introduction to the subject. Chapter Two contains a survey of methods used to deal with the Newtonian approximation to the theory of the evolution of the mass distribution. Recent progress in the use of statistical measures of the clustering is described in Chapter Three. Chapters Four and Five return to techniques for dealing with cosmic evolution, in the statistical measures of clustering and under general relativity theory. Lastly, in Chapter Six Professor Peebles assesses the progress in attempts to link theory and observation to arrive at a well established physical picture of the nature and evolution of the universe.
