Please visit the School website http://www.cifs-isss.org for any further information. Sincerely Paola Solini ------------------------- The International School of Space Science of the Consorzio Interuniversitario per la Fisica Spaziale organizes a Course on 'Observing the Universe with the Cosmic Microwave Background', to be held in L'Aquila, Italy, April 22-26, 2014, and directed by P. de Bernardis, M. Bersanelli, N. Mandolesi and J.-L. Puget. The aim of the School is to present the Planck satellite mission which has provided a multifrequency detailed view of the Universe at millimeter waves, exploring the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and the relevant foregrounds with an unprecedented combination of sensitivity, angular resolution and frequency coverage. Meanwhile, a number of ground based and balloon-borne experiments are exploring the tiniest details of the CMB (anisotropy, polarization, spectral anisotropy, etc.) providing a wealth of new knowledge on our universe. New space mission concepts have also been proposed, involving significant technology improvements, and are actively investigated. This school will provide an up to date review of the latest results and of their impact on cosmology and on fundamental physics. Experimental, interpretation and theoretical activities will be weighted to provide a well balanced understanding of the current status and of the forthcoming efforts in this field.

19 Jan '14

IAU Symposium 308: The Zeldovich Universe: Genesis and Growth of the Cosmic Web We are happy to announce IAU Symposium 308 "The Zel'dovich' Universe: Genesis and Growth of the Cosmic Web", which will be held in Tallinn, Estonia, from June 23-28, 2014. 2014 is the centenary year of the birth of Yakov Zel'dovich. IAU symposium 308 pays tribute to his outstanding contributions to the understanding of the large scale matter distribution in the Universe by devoting its attention on the Cosmic Web and cosmic structure formation. The symposium will synthesize the large advances and insights obtained from many different observational and theoretical studies and set out the lines for the major upcoming scientific programs that will not only extend our view over a far larger fraction of the visible Universe but also allow the systematic investigation of the evolution of cosmic structure. Topics that will be addressed are: - Large Scale Galaxy Surveys - Simulations of Large Scale Structure formation - Structural Analysis of the Cosmic Web - Large Scale Structure at high redshift - the Zel'dovich Legacy: theory & dynamics - Gravitational Lensing and the Cosmic Web - Voids - the Local Universe (reconstruction, dynamics and velocity flows) - Dynamical Analysis of the Cosmic Web - the Gaseous Cosmic Web (Lyman alpha forest, WHIM, ...) - Cosmic Web as environment for galaxy formation - Galaxies in the Cosmic Web - Dark Ages -- Reionization - Primordial Signature of the Cosmic Web (BAOs, primordial non-Gaussianities, non-standard Gravity) - Future Surveys - Cosmology of Yakov Zel'dovich: historical and scientific perspective Registration, abstract submission and application for financial support are now possible. More information can be found in our conference webpage http://www.iau-zeldovich.org/

hi cosmo-pl, Here are two 2014 FR-based cosmo meetings that you might find interesting. Announcement "3." below is in French, but if you paste the URL into a browser, you'll see that the program looks like it will very likely be in English. One PL-based participant is already listed in the preliminary program. pozdr Boud ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2013 12:52:10 +0100 > From: Secrétariat SF2A > Message SF2A No 584 - 25/11/13 > Cliquez sur ce lien si le message ne s'affiche pas correctement: > http://www.sf2a.eu/?article508 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.

Il a pour objectif de rassembler des spécialistes en physique des particules, astrophysique et cosmologie pour débattre sur des problèmes émergents en vue de perspectives innovantes. Il se singularise des ateliers traditionnels par le fait que le programme est précisé seulement une semaine avant sa tenue, sur la base des conférences proposées par les participants. Le nombre de participants n'excède pas 30 et le nombre d'exposés est choisi de sorte à favoriser les échanges.

IAUS306: statistical challenges in 21st century cosmology - 26-29 mai 2014, Lisbonne --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The IAU Symposium 306 on Statistical Challenges in 21st Century Cosmology will take place in Lisbon, Portugal from 26-29 May 2014, with a tutorial day on 25 May. Full exploitation of the very large surveys of the Cosmic Microwave Background, Large-Scale Structure, weak gravitational lensing and future 21cm surveys will require use of the best statistical techniques to answer the major cosmological questions of the 21st century, such as the nature of Dark Energy and gravity. Thus it is timely to emphasise the importance of inference in cosmology, and to promote dialogue between astronomers and statisticians. This has been recognized by the creation of the IAU Working Group in Astrostatistics and Astroinformatics in 2012. IAU Symposium 306 will be devoted to problems of inference in cosmology, from data processing to methods and model selection, and will have an important element of cross-disciplinary involvement from the statistics communities. You are invited to submit an abstract for a contributed talk or poster for the meeting, via the meeting website (http://sccc21.sim.ul.pt). The deadline for abstract submission is 21st March 2014. Full information on the scientific rationale, programme, proceedings, critical dates, and local arrangements will be on the symposium web site. Transmis par Alberto Krone-Martins
