CosmoCurvature (standard ruler)

• new standard ruler stuff with 2QZ - Gary, Yohan, Boud,
  • - http://cosmo.torun.pl/mailman/public/shape-univ/2002-05/ etc.
  • - http://cosmo.torun.pl/~boud/DE/
• curvature + other parameters from CMB - Micha³ F + Bartek(?) + Boud
  • - http://www.archeops.org - 12% of sky observed with Planck instruments is now publicly available
• AstroPh:0410037 Monster Redshift Surveys through Dispersive Slitless Imaging: The Baryon Oscillation Probe - Karl Glazebrook, Ivan Baldry, Warren Moos, Jeff Kruk, Stephan McCandliss - is very interesting...

Hubble Constant

• Bartek Lew is doing great stuff on this, and Michał Chodorowski has submitted a nice derivation: AstroPh:0407478

NonBaryonicDarkMatter

• Bartek Lew is working on this: NonBaryonicDarkMatter

GalaxyAGNFormation

• modelling

• • - ArFus project - N-body (gravity) + semi-analytical (gas cooling, star formation) - Boud + others -
• observations
  • - Blazars - Radek
  • - Mrk 421, Mrk 501 BL Lac objects - [monitoring of the variability], [modeling of multifrequency emission of blazars] - Krzysztof
  • - evolution of radio galaxy populations + hybrid object - Motyl + ...
  • - young RLAGNs - Andrzej M + Magda
  • - OneCmRA - Sebastian + Andrzej K + Motyl ...

• CAMK-Torun is involved in the HerschelSatellite infrared telescope

project which should be launched around 2007 and has

• • instruments such as
  • - PACS 50-200 μm
  • - SPIRE 200-600 μm - spectro + bolometric
  • - HIFI 100-600 μm - star formation, H₂0
  • - these should provide observations of galaxies at quite high redshifts,

so good galaxy/AGN formation modelling projects could make predictions of how the HerschelSatellite observations could constrain interesting galaxy formation questions

• • - there was a HerschelStarFormationEvolution meeting on this at TCfA Torun on 15 Nov 2002 at Piwnicach
