The dark universe matter, energy and gravity : proceedings of the Space Telescope Science Institute Symposium, held in Baltimore, Maryland, April 2-5, 2001

This 2004 book reviews the findings on the composition of the universe, its dynamics, and the implications of both for the evolution of large-scale structure and for fundamental theories of the universe. With each chapter written by a leading expert in the field, topics include massive compact halo...
