Galaxy Surveys - Lecture 4

Explore a comprehensive lecture on Galaxy Surveys, delivered by Shadab Alam as part of the 3rd IAGRG School on Gravitation and Cosmology at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into one of the fundamental observational techniques used in modern cosmology to understand the large-scale structure of the universe. Learn how galaxy surveys contribute to estimating crucial cosmological parameters, including the density of dark matter and dark energy, the Hubble constant, and the overall composition of the universe. Part of a broader two-week intensive program designed for graduate students and researchers in cosmology, this 93-minute lecture forms the fourth installment in a series covering cutting-edge topics in theoretical and observational cosmology, including inflation, the Cosmological Standard Model, and CMB physics.
