The cosmological constant and dark energy

PJE Peebles, B Ratra - Reviews of modern physics, 2003 - APS
Physics welcomes the idea that space contains energy whose gravitational effect
approximates that of Einstein's cosmological constant, Λ; today the concept is termed dark …

The large-scale structure of the Universe

V Springel, CS Frenk, SDM White - nature, 2006 - nature.com
Research over the past 25 years has led to the view that the rich tapestry of present-day
