Cours annulé - ED352 - cours 'Cosmological observations of dark energy' - BAUTISTA/GILLARD

The goal of these lectures is to introduce cosmological probles of dark energy. We will start with the main motivations for the existance of some dark energy, then we will tackle the main observational and instrumental methods used to observe it.
These lectures serve as an overview of current state-of-the-art cosmological measurements. It brings essential elements in the conception and development of projects in cosmology, current and futur ones.

The main cosmological probes :
- The cosmic microwave background
- Type-Ia supernovae
- Baryon acoustic oscillations
- Redshift space distorsions
- Gravitational lensing.
Observables and technical methods used for data collection and analysis.
Current and future/expected cosmological constraints from the main projects.

Basics of cosmology : FLRW metric, the components of the Uniiverse, cosmological distances.
Basics of python for tutorials.

Overview of modern cosmological probes and projects.
Overview of main techniques of observation in cosmology.
