1012130 - EXTRAGALACTIC ASTROPHYSICS |
To provide a complete view on the physical properties of extragalactic objects, like Galaxies, Active Galactic Nuclei, Clusters of Galaxies, Inter Galactic Medium, both in the local and in the high redshift Universe. To provide the skill needed to interpret the spectral emission and the morphological properties of these objects, in particular when observations from latest-generation telescopes are available. These issues will be discussed in the framework of the current cosmological scenario of structure evolution. |

1041551 - ASTROPHYSICS OF PRIMORDIAL UNIVERSE |
The Lectures analyze classical and quantum aspects concerning physics of the primordial Universe, to the end of reconstructing a coherent schema for its origin and evolution. After a discussion of the possible extensions of the Einsteinian theory of gravitation and of its link to the other interactions, the study of the geometrical unification theories is faced. It follows a treatment of the quantum theories on a curved space-time and of their relevance for the story of the primordial Universe. The lectures end facing in detail the theme of the quantum origin of the Universe, with particular reference to the properties of cosmological singularity. |

1055363 - EXPERIMENTAL GRAVITATION |
The Physics Department of our university has a long tradition in the domain of the experiments in Gravitation. At present the main effort is represented by the construction the interferometric detector of Gravitational Waves Advanced VIRGO and the exploitation of the data already collected with the VIRGO detector. Other activities concerning the isolation of the equivalence principle, the setting of new limits for the PPN parameters or the astrophysical study of new sources of gravitational waves are carried on in the whole research area of Rome. We will discuss the experimental bases of the present theory of Gravitation complementing the course of General relativity and discussing one of the main topic of the Astroparticle Physics. In practice, by presenting the most important experiments of Gravitation carried on in the past and proposed for the future, the course permits to illustrate the most relevant strategies for the measurement of small forces. |
