Scope
Magnetic fields are omnipresent in the Universe, we find them in galaxies and galaxy clusers, in filaments and voids of the Large Scale Structure. The presence of magnetic fields in voids hints to the possibility that the initial fields have been generated in the early Universe, within the first micorseconds of the Universe history. Tracing the evolution of magnetic fields through the cosmological epochs is a challenging endeavour, and complex numerical simulations are used for this purpose. Several techniques from different domains of astronomy: radio, microwave, gamma-rays, gravitational waves, are used to probe cosmological magnetic fields at different epochs and scales.
The purpose of this winter school is to provide introductory courses on the generation, evolution and observation of cosmological magnetic fields. The lectures will be supplemented by hands-on sessions on numerical simulations and observational techniques. The school aims at bringing together students and young postdocs across different fields, research institutions and countries.
Schedule
The school will start on Monday, January 12 and end on Friday, January 23.
The registration on Monday, January 12 starts at 09:15 on floor 6, and the welcome address takes place in the lecture room on floor 4 at 09:50.
