 target ASTR 5770 Cosmology Fall 2018: Projects

Projects

Each of you will make a 10-minute presentation, followed by a 5-minute question session, in class, on a ground- or space-based survey, mission, or experiment, past, present, or planned, whose goals are relevant to cosmology. You will make your presentation in either the week before or the week after Fall Break.

The first problem set of the semester is to select a survey/mission/experiment, and to write a short abstract explaining your selection.

The list of presentations will be posted on this web page.
