| Title | The Universe Today : Our Current Understanding and How It Was Achieved |
| Author(s) | Martins, Carlos |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2020. |
| Description | XV, 324 p. 63 illus., 46 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Starting out from humankind's earliest ideas about the cosmos, this book gives the reader a clear overview of our current understanding of the universe, including big bang theories and the formation of stars and galaxies, as well as addressing open questions. The author shows how our present view gradually developed from observations, and also how the outcome of ongoing research may still change this view. The book brings together concepts in physics and astronomy, including some history in both cases. The text is descriptive rather than technical: the goal is to present things rigorously and without oversimplification, by highlighting the crucial physical concepts. The only prerequisite is a qualitative knowledge of basic physics concepts at high-school level |

| Title | The Cosmology of Extra Dimensions and Varying Fundamental Constants : A JENAM 2002 Workshop Porto, Portugal 3???5 September 2002 |
| Author(s) | Martins, Carlos |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 2003. |
| Description | VIII, 252 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The workshop on The Cosmology of Extra Dimensions and Varying Fundamental Constants, which was part of JENAM 2002, was held at the Physics Department of the University of Porto (FCUP) from the 3rd to the 5th of September 2002. It was regularly attended by about 110 participants, of which 65 were officially registered in the VFC workshop, while the others came from the rest of the JENAM workshops. There were also a few science correspondents from the national and international press. During the 3 days of the scientific programme, 8 Invited Reviews and 30 Oral Communications were presented. The speakers came from 11 different European countries, and also from Argentina, Australia, Canada, Japan and the U.S.A. There were also speakers from six Portuguese research institutions, and nine of the speak?? ers were Ph.D. students. The contributions are presented in these proceedings in chronological order. The workshop brought together string theorists, particle physicists, theoretical and observational cosmologists, relativists and observational astrophysicists. It was generally agreed that this inter-disciplinarity was the greatest strength of the work?? shop, since it provided people coming into this very recent topic from the various different backgrounds with an opportunity to understand each other's language and thereby gain a more solid understanding of the overall picture |

| Title | From Varying Couplings to Fundamental Physics : Proceedings of Symposium 1 of JENAM 2010 |
| Author(s) | Martins, Carlos;Molaro, Paolo |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2011. |
| Description | XII, 172 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Nature is characterized by a number of physical laws and fundamental dimensionless couplings. These determine the?? properties of our physical universe, from the size of atoms, cells and mountains to the ultimate fate of the universe as a whole. Yet it is rather remarkable how little we know about them. The constancy of physical laws is one of the cornerstones of the scientific research method, but for fundamental couplings this is an assumption with no other justification?? than a historical assumption. There is no 'theory of constants' describing their role in the underlying theories and how they relate to one another or how many?? of them are truly fundamental.?? Studying the behaviour of these quantities throughout the history of the universe is an effective way to probe fundamental physics. This explains why the ESA and ESO include varying fundamental constants among their key science drivers for the next generation of facilities. This symposium discussed the state-of-the-art in the field, as well as the key developments anticipated for the coming years |
