12. Classic Big Bang Cosmology, Dark matter and Galaxy formation

7/6/06, 8:30 AM

This conference will describe the main modern observations and ideas relevant to the expanding universe and to the development of inhomogeneities, eventually leading to galaxy formation. The evidence for the existence of so-called dark matter in different cosmic structures will be presented and the importance of dark matter in the process of galaxy formation will be emphasized

13. Cosmic High Energy Phenomena

7/6/06, 10:45 AM

High Energy activity from compact stars and collapsed objects: The high energy activity near compact objects, isolated or in binary systems, will be presented. The high voltage environment of these objects and associated high energy photon or particle emission will be discussed. The mechanisms that may accelerate in the bulk matter to relativistic speeds and focus it into narrow jets...
