Astro 513, Cosmology

One of the favorite classes I have taken so far. Two of my projects are available here:

  • CMB.pdf
    This is a short project in which we used the CMBfast code to explore the effects of changing cosmological parameters on the CMB power spectrum. For an amazing tutorial on the physics of the CMB, check out Wayne Hu's CMB tutorial
  • GravRad.pdf
    This was my final project, in which I performed a back-of-the-envelope calculation of the timescale of energy loss via Gravitational Brehmstrahlung within a dark matter halo.
