Research in Theoretical Astrophysics and Cosmology

研究将集中在宇宙学和星系形成领域的理论天体物理学和宇宙学的基础和相关问题。一项研究将是在开放宇宙学模型中宇宙微波背景辐射的角各向异性。从各向异性的小偏差是不可避免的，探索宇宙大尺度结构的起源。为了与正在进行的实验进行比较，详细的预测是必要的。第二个研究领域将是星系演化的研究。重点将放在发展改进的原星系模型和预测它们的光度，光谱和化学演化，并应用于深入调查，研究背景光，星系间气体和重子暗物质的贡献。

Research will be performed on fundamental and relevant problems in theoretical astrophysics and cosmology that focus on the areas of cosmology and galaxy formation. One investigation will be of the angular anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation in open cosmological models. Small deviations from anisotropy are inevitable and probe the origin of the large-scale structure in the Universe. Detailed predictions are necessary to compare with experiments in progress. A second research area will be a study of galaxy evolution. Emphasis will be placed on developing improved models of protogalaxies and predicting their luminosity, spectral and chemical evolution, with application to deep surveys, studies of the background light, intergalactic gas, and contributions to baryonic dark matter.
