Nominator's project description
| Prof. Fukugita is an internationally outstanding cosmologist and particle physicist who played an essential role in establishing observational cosmology in Japan. He was a leading member of the most successful astronomical sky survey, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and crucially promoted its success by creating a novel photometric filter system for the survey. With his visit to Germany, he plans to pursue his project of the mass and energy budget of the various components of the Universe, providing an important check of our understanding of the make-up of our Cosmos. |
