Knowledge in general relativity is recommended. Basic knowledge in astronomy is useful. Likewise knowledge in atomic and nuclear physics are useful. More information about English language requirements SelectionThe selection is based on 20-285 creditsCourse Aim The student shall acquire understanding of and knowledge of the large scale structure of the universe and its history. This is shown by the ability for explanation of concepts and physical conditions as well as course of events within the subject. The student shall have the ability to perform theoretical calculations of cosmological properties and parameters founded on cosmological models, and have the ability to orally and/or in writing communicate analysis and calculations. The student shall be aware that cosmology has a special place in the physical disciplines in that not all usual criteria for science can be fulfilled. This is shown by the ability to evaluate the consequences of this relationship. Contents The cosmological principle, Friedman models, The Big Bang model, the thermal history of the universe, problem with Hot Big Bang model, inflation, formation of structures, dark matter. Observations such as cosmic background radiation, galaxy formation, redshift and gravitational lenses. Realization Lectures. Depending of the number of students can the course be realized in seminar form or as a self study course. Examination The examination consists of three parts: oral examination (40%), hand-in exercises (40%), and written report (20%). Each of these moments is graded with Approved (G) or Not Approved (U). All three moments are scored and the final grade of the course are given the marks (5, 4, 3, U) based on a weighted appraisal of the results of the examination parts. In order to pass the course it is required that all three moments are approved. RemarksAdvanced level.ExaminerJohnny EjemalmTransition termsThe course F7007R is equal to RYM029Literature.
