Challenges in Cosmology from the Big Bang to Dark Energy, Dark Matter and Galaxy Formation
arXiv:1611.09846 · doi:10.7566/JPSCP.14.010101
Abstract
I review the current status of Big Bang Cosmology, with emphasis on current issues in dark matter, dark energy, and galaxy formation. These topics motivate many of the current goals of experimental cosmology which range from targeting the nature of dark energy and dark matter to probing the epoch of the first stars and galaxies.
