There is still a multitude  of unresolved problems in modern cosmology and the symposium offered a  wonderful occasion to examine them objectively, at a place where many  leading workers in related fields gathered together. \u003cbr\u003e  After the introduction by IAU President L. Woltjer and the historical  background by Vice Present Virginia Trimble, the volume begins with  reviews of the cosmic microwave radiation from COBE (Cosmic Background  Explorer). Reviews of recent observations then extend from radio to  infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma-rays. It is  followed by theoretical models for the Big Bang and Inflation, and  alternative views to the Big Bang. Following a discourse on Probes and  Future Tests, the meeting ended with a Panel Discussion on `Major  Unsolved Problems of Cosmology'. Some forty-four contributed papers  - both oral and poster reports - are included after the  invited talks and panel discussions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1996-01-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9780792338154\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792338154\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-009-0145-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 586\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44343404724364,"sku":"9780792338154","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792338154_4feb0c2c-e2d2-4108-8190-e018a1620059.jpg?v=1755054341","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792338154","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
