DESCRIPTION:19 -> 23 May 2008\, 15:30 -> 17:30. In the first part of this 
 short course I discuss cosmological concepts and methods\, to be used in a
 strophysical measurements and their interpretation. Starting from Einstein
 ´s equations of General Relativity\, I explain how the Friedman-Robertson
 -Walker Universe is derived\, and I discuss standard cosmological expansio
 n and acceleration in theories with dark energy contributions in the Unive
 rse energy budget\, in particular the cosmological constant scenario. In t
 he second part\, I discuss issues of relevance to particle physics\, in pa
 rticular (thermal) dark matter\, and ways of computing the amount of dark 
 matter presently available in the Universe\, primarily through the Boltzma
 nn equation of species abundances. Such analysis can lead to stringent con
 straints on particle physics models\, although it should be stressed that 
 there is a strong model dependence of the results.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.
