The Future of Cosmology with Clusters of Galaxies

《星系团的宇宙学未来》，2005年2月26日- 3月2日。绘制星系团在宇宙时间中的出现图，可以精确测量宇宙中大规模密度扰动的增长速度，从而测试主宰宇宙并控制其命运的暗能量和暗物质的本质。在接下来的十年里，大型天文调查将确定最大规模的星团，从而产生前所未有的统计丰富的样本。同时，来自地面和空间的多波长观测，以及越来越复杂的数值模拟对星团内各种物质成分的更好理解，将会得到更好的图像。这次会议将汇集理论学家、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，而且还将为我们从未来的大型调查中提取宇宙学信息做好准备。

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.
