This comprehensive volume delves into some of the most dynamic and cutting-edge fields of astrophysics, encompassing a vast range of celestial phenomena from the immense scales probed by the Planck satellite to the colossal black holes that reside at the cores of galaxies and the remarkable discovery of thousands of exoplanets. It comprises the following chapters:
Jean-Philippe Uzan explores the intricate details of the Big-Bang Theory, encompassing its construction, evolution, and current status.
Jean-Loup Puget provides an in-depth account of the Planck Mission and its groundbreaking contribution to understanding the cosmic microwave background.
Reinhard Genzel delves into the enigmatic realm of massive black holes, shedding light on their evidence, demographics, and profound impact on cosmic evolution.
Arnaud Cassan presents a captivating exploration of the discovery of exoplanets, unveiling the remarkable new worlds that lie beyond our solar system.
Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez were jointly awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics for their groundbreaking discovery of a supermassive compact object situated at the center of our galaxy. This remarkable achievement was in conjunction with Roger Penrose's groundbreaking discovery that black hole formation is a strong prediction of the general theory of relativity.
This book serves as a valuable resource, corresponding to the twentieth Poincaré Seminar, which took place on November 21, 2015, at Institut Henri Poincaré in Paris. Originally conceived as lectures intended for a broad scientific audience, these four chapters hold immense value and will be of interest to astrophysicists, physicists, mathematicians, and historians alike.
