Beginning with the smooth, homogeneous universe described by a Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker metric, this trusted resource includes careful treatments of dark energy, big bang nucleosynthesis, recombination, and dark matter. The reader is then introduced to perturbations about an FLRW universe: their evolution with the Einstein-Boltzmann equations, their primordial generation by inflation, and their observational consequences: the acoustic peaks in the CMB; the \u003ci\u003eE\/B\u003c\/i\u003e decomposition in polarization; gravitational lensing of the CMB and large-scale structure; and the BAO standard ruler and redshift-space distortions in galaxy clustering. The Second Edition now also covers nonlinear structure formation including perturbation theory and simulations. The book concludes with a substantially updated chapter on data analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eModern Cosmology, Second Edition, \u003c\/i\u003e shows how modern observations are rapidly revolutionizing our picture of the universe, and supplies readers with all the tools needed to work in cosmology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Academic Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45309997645975,"sku":"9780128159484","price":6339.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780128159484.webp?v=1769286750","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/modern-cosmology-9780128159484","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
