Galaxy Surveys - Lecture 5

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 and complement other observational methods like Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) observations, Supernova Cosmology, and Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO). Gain insights into how these surveys help cosmologists measure the Hubble constant, determine the density of dark matter and dark energy, and understand the overall composition and curvature of space. Part of a comprehensive two-week program designed for graduate students and young researchers in cosmology, featuring expert-led lectures and tutorials focused on cutting-edge topics in theoretical and observational cosmology.
