The Future of Cosmology with Clusters of Galaxies

AST-0507480 Evrard宇宙学与星系团的未来，2005年2月26日至3月2日绘制星系团在宇宙时间内的出现可以精确测量我们宇宙中大尺度密度扰动的增长率，从而测试支配宇宙并控制其命运的暗能量和暗物质的性质。 在未来十年内，大型天文观测将确定最大的星团，从而产生前所未有的统计丰富的样本。与此同时，来自地面和太空的多波长观测，以及越来越复杂的数值模拟，将更好地描绘星系团中各种物质成分的图景。这次会议将汇集理论家、观测者和计算建模者，不仅有助于确定我们目前对星系团的理解水平，也为我们从未来的大型巡天中提取宇宙学信息铺平了道路。

AST-0507480EvrardThe Future of Cosmology with Clusters of Galaxies, February 26-March 2, 2005.Mapping the emergence of clusters of galaxies over cosmic time can precisely measure the growth rate of large-scale density perturbations in our universe, and thus test the nature of the dark energy and dark matter that dominate the universe and control its fate. Within the next decade, large astronomical surveys will identify the most massive clusters and thus produce samples of unprecedented statistical richness. At the same time, a better picture of the various matter components within clusters will come from multi-wavelength observations from the ground and space, and their interpretation by increasingly sophisticated numerical simulations.This conference will mix theorists, observers, and computational modelers, and will help not only to define our current level of understanding of galaxy clusters, but also to prepare our path to extracting cosmological information from future large surveys.
