Résumé

Over the past few decades it has become clear that most of the mass in the Universe is in an unseen form we call dark matter. I will present the observational evidence leading to this remarkable realization and then focus in particular on the tool of gravitational lensing and how we can use lensing to study the distribution of matter in the universe. I will finish my talk with a discussion of the discovery of dark energy and discuss possibilities for what this mysterious ’energy’ might be. by Laura Parker https://www.procyon.espci.fr/fr/Conferences/The-dark-Universe.html

THE ACCELERATING UNIVERSE
Description : Since the discovery of an accelerating Universe in 1998, a variety of experiments have been undertaken, and even more proposed, to better constrain the source of the acceleration. I will review the scientific history surrounding the acceleration, discuss the current observational landscape, ...

THE WARPED SIDE OF THE UNIVERSE: NUMERICAL RELATIVITY, GRAVITATIONAL WAVES AND MACROSCOPIC QUANTUM MECHANICS
Description : There is a "Warped side" to our universe, consisting of objects and phenomena that are made solely or largely from warped spacetime. Examples are black holes, singularities (inside black holes and in the big bang), and cosmic strings. Numerical-relativity simulations are revolutionizing our un ...
