1. Do Eclipse Solar de 1919 ao Espetáculo das Lentes Gravitacionais
Resumo Um século depois de observada a deflexão da luz emitida pelas estrelas distantes, durante o eclipse solar de 1919, é interessante saber os conceitos que emergiram do experimento e suas consequências teóricas e observacionais para a cosmologia e astrofísica moderna. Além de confirmar a teoria gravitacional de Einstein, o maior legado foi a const

2. Formação e evolução de galáxias: populações estelares na Via Láctea, galáxias elípticas e propriedades de galáxias em grupos / Galaxy Formation and Evolution: From the Milky Way to Galaxies in Groups
Understanding the way galaxies form and evolve throughout the cosmic time remains one of the greatest challenges of modern cosmology. Several processes are known to play a role in the formation of galaxies, such as feedback from supernovae and active galactic nuclei, chemical and dynamical evolution and environmental effects. This thesis encompasses these pr

3. Turbulência em cosmologia: análise de dados simulados e observacionais usando computação de alto desempenho / Turbulence in cosmology: analysis of simulated and observational data using high performance computing
Recent results from the study of the Large-Scale Structure evolution suggest that the process of structure formation may have similarities with the dynamics of a turbulent fluid. The scaling law for the energy distribution in a turbulent fluid shows an inertial range of power -5/3, known as the Kolmogorov s law. This thesis presents an evaluation of the grav

4. Dark Energy and The Accelerating Universe: Conceptual Aspects and Observational Tests / Energia escura e aceleração do Universo: Aspectos conceituais e testes observacionais
In the last decade, the extraordinary progress of the astronomical observations (distances with supernovas, matter and cosmic background radiation (CBR) power spectrum, X-ray surface brightness of galaxy clusters, etc) associated with important theoretical developments turned Cosmology one of the most exciting frontiers of contemporary science. In this thesi

5. Observational Constraints in Interacting Dark Energy Models / Vínculos observacionais em modelos de energia escura interagente
In the present work the possibility of a dark energy interacting with dark matter has been investigated. We considered a flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker space-time with two alternative interacting dark energy models. In the first, the interaction term, appearing in the energy conservation equations was introduced by purely phenomenological reasons. In the se

6. Fundo estocástico de ondas gravitacionais gerados por buracos negros pré-galáctiocs / Stochastic Background of Gravitational Waves Generated By pre-galactic Black Hole Formation
Observation of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMB) provide us with a clear information about the status of matter and radiation at the decoupling era like a snapshot of the Universe 300.000 years after the Big-Bang. Nowadays, through observations of the cosmic structure, we can build-up the history of the Universe from one billion years after the

7. Polarização da radiação galáctica em 5 GHz: instrumentação, medidas e mapas / Polarization of the galactic emission at 5 GHz: instrumentation, measurements and maps
The Galactic Emission Mapping (GEM) project was proposed in the late 1990 s, aiming to characterize the microwave emission of the Milk Way, in order to provide high quality data and models to allow a better foreground substraction of Cosmic Microwave Background maps. The project employs a 5.5 m - diameter antenna, currently operating at the Cachoeira Paulist

9. Acelaração do universo e criação gravitacional de matéria escura fria: novos modelos e testes observacionais
Recent astronomical observations (involving supernovae type Ia, cosmic background radiation anisotropy and galaxy clusters probes) have provided strong evidence that the observed universe is described by an accelerating, flat model whose space-time properties can be represented by the FriedmannRobertsonWalker (FRW) metric. However, the nature of the substanc

10. Polarização da radiação galáctica em 5 GHz: instrumentação, medidas e mapas / Polarization of the galactic emission at 5 GHz: instrumentation, measurements and maps
O projeto GEM (Galactic Emission Mapping) tem o propósito de caracterizar a emissão da Via Láctea na faixa de rádio e de microondas, visando, entre outros, fornecer dados para a limpeza dos mapas da Radiação Cósmica de Fundo em Microondas. O projeto conta com uma antena de 5,5 m de diâmetro, atualmente instalada no sítio de Cachoeira Paulista, SP (2

11. Cosmologia na teoria de Visser / Cosmology from the Visser s theory
The advent of observational cosmology has led us to conclude that only 4% of whole Universe is composed by known matter (baryons). On the other hand 23% comes from a kind of non barionic dark matter. Moreover the cosmic dynamics is almost fully dominated by the so called dark energy (usually considered a kind of fluid), which corresponds to 73% of the energy

12. The shape of space after WMAP data
What is the shape of space is a long-standing question in cosmology. I review recent advances in cosmic topology since it has entered a new era of experimental tests. High redshift surveys of astronomical sources and accurate maps of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation (CMB) are beginning to hint at the shape of the universe, or at least to limit the w
