The Dark Universe Matter, Energy and Gravity [Paperback]

This book presents a collection of review articles on all aspects of dark matter and theories of gravity.This volume presents especially written articles by a host of world experts who gathered together for an international conference at the Space Telescope Science Institute. The goal of the meeting was to bring together physicists and astronomers working on all aspects of dark matter and theories of gravity. Topics covered in include Nucleosynthesis, Hot Gas in Clusters, MACHOs, WIMPs, Rotation Curves, Gravitational Lensing Neutrinos, Large Scale Flows, Dwarf Spheroidals, Cosmological Parameters from Supernovae, the Cosmic Microwave Background, the Cosmological Constant, and Theories of Gravity.This volume presents especially written articles by a host of world experts who gathered together for an international conference at the Space Telescope Science Institute.
