Cosmology addresses fundamental questions about the nature and evolution of the universe.
Faculty and students at the CfA contribute to the dynamism and excitement of the field. Large Scale Structure . To answer the many questions raised by these surveys, exploration of the more distant universe continues from Mt. Hopkins and from international facilities in Chile, including the Las Campanas Redshift Survey and the 2MASS Redshift Survey . Analyses of these data continue to challenge theorists who model the development of structure in the universe. These anisotropies may be generated by quantum fluctuations, providing a link between particle physics at very high energies and cosmology.
