Abstract Note | The Encyclopedia of Cosmology, in four volumes, is a major, long-lasting, seminal reference at the graduate student level, laid out by the most prominent, respected researchers in the general field of Cosmology. These volumes will be a comprehensive review of the most important concepts and current status in the field, covering both theory and observation.
Volume 1 lays out the subjects of galaxy formation and evolution based on the current paradigm in cosmology. Part I presents the basic theory, including a brief treatment of galactic structure. Part II builds on Part I by presenting the exciting subject of high-redshift galaxy formation, including topics such as cosmic dawn, the first stars, cosmic reionization, and 21-cm cosmology.
One of the attractive features of the encyclopedia is that it is accompanied by supplementary materials including videos and simulations of the numerical computation. This will help the readers to better understand and visualize the concepts discussed. |
