The general purpose of the Second Cosmology School in Kielce is to give an introduction to the current knowledge in cosmology, both in theory and observations. This School is intended for undergraduate, MSc and PhD students, as well as young postdoctoral researchers, interested in these fields.
The program of the school will include mini-workshops on:
- cosmological simulations
- Virtual Observatory database and tools
- SED fitting.

We provide a certain number of workstation but it is advisable that the participants bring their own laptops equipped in the Linux operating system. Updates on the installation of necessary programs are presented in Necessary Software.

Topics:

Cosmological parameters after PLANCK
Cosmic Web
Star formation, dust attenuation
Modeling galaxy SEDs
Galaxy evolution
Galaxy clusters
Cosmological simulations
Virtual Observatory

Cosmology from weak lensing
Cosmic magnetic fields
