CosmoJournalClub
Darklight Cosmology Journal Club
The aim of the club is to informally review and discuss recent publications that are of interest to the specific research of the group or to cosmology in general. You should post the Arxiv numbers of papers that interest you on this page. Everybody is encouraged to contribute as often as possible.
The DARKLIGHT Cosmology Journal Club will meet every Thursday at 11:30 AM commencing 08/11/12.
