The twentieth century witnessed some remarkable discoveries: the
1917 publication of Einstein's general theory of relativity,
Carnegie astronomer Edwin Hubble's 1929 discovery of the expansion
of the universe, evidence for the existence of dark matter, and the
discovery of a mysterious dark energy, which is causing the
universe to speed up its expansion. This comprehensive volume
reviews the theory and measurement of various parameters related to
the evolution of the universe. Topics include inflation, string
theory, the history of cosmology in the context of measurements
being made of the Hubble constant, the matter density, and dark
energy, including observational results from the Sloan, Digital Sky
Survey, Keck, Magellan, cosmic microwave background experiments,
Hubble space telescope and Chandra. With chapters by leading
authorities in the field, this book is a valuable resource for
graduate students and professional research astronomers.
