Gravitational Lensing / Scott Dodelson (cop. 2017)

Public ISBD Titre : Gravitational Lensing Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Scott Dodelson, Auteur Editeur : Cambridge ; New York ; Melbourne [UK ; USA] : Cambridge University Press (CUP) Année de publication : cop. 2017 Importance : 1 vol. (XII-224 p.-[8] p. de pl.) Présentation : ill. en noir et en coul. Format : 25 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-107-12976-4 Note générale : Sommaire : 1. Overview . - 2. Deflection of Light. - 3. Multiple Images. - 4. Magnification. - 5. Microlensing. - 6. Weak Lensing : Galaxy Shapes .- 7. Mass from Shapes. - 8. Cosmic Shear. - 9. Lensing of the Cosmic Microwave Background. -- PPN 203407997 Langues : Anglais (eng) Tags : Lentilles gravitationnelles  Rayonnement du fond du ciel  Matière sombre  Distances (cosmologie)  Exoplanètes  Galaxies -- Amas  Gravitational lenses  Cosmic background radiation  GREAT [GRavitational lEnsing Accuracy Testing]  Dark matter  Cosmological distances  MACHO [Massive compact Halo Object]  Extrasolar planets  Galaxy -- Clusters Index. décimale : 521.1 Gravitation (mécanique céleste) Résumé : Gravitational lensing is a consequence of general relativity, where the gravitational force due to a massive object bends the paths of light originating from distant objects lying behind it. Using very little general relativity and no higher level mathematics, this text presents the basics of gravitational lensing, focusing on the equations needed to understand the phenomena. It then applies them to a diverse set of topics, including multiply imaged objects, time delays, extrasolar planets, microlensing, cluster masses, galaxy shape measurements, cosmic shear, and lensing of the cosmic microwave background. This approach allows undergraduate students and others to get quickly up to speed on the basics and the important issues. The text will be especially relevant as large surveys such as LSST and Euclid begin to dominate the astronomical landscape. Designed for a one semester course, it is accessible to anyone with two years of undergraduate physics background. Note de contenu : Contient des exercices en fin de chapitre. - Bibliogr. p. 213-219. - Index.
