Explore the dark side of the Universe during the National Science week in Norway (Forskningsdagene) 2023.  

Each year the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics (ITA) took part to the well known and challenging Holmenkollen relay "as one". Until now.

- The most fascinating thing about astronomy is that us humans, not living in any special location in the Universe, have figured out the way to learn about its vastness and evolution.

– What could be more exciting than to uncover the very nature of reality by studying the contents of the Universe! There is no other field of science that researches a thing as fundamental as the very Universe itself!

Cosmologist Johannes Røsok Eskilt is awarded the Fulbright Article Prize for Young Researchers 2024 for his revolutionary work in astrophysics.

Welcome to the BeyondPlanck Release Conference.

This BeyondPlanck paper presents new images of polarized emission from astrophysical sky components using never before combined data sets with a brand new approach.

Instrumental calibration is vital for the results of a CMB experiment to make sense. But how can we calibrate the instrument using measurements that we ideally need to calibrate the instrument to measure properly?

Map-making of the Cosmic Microwave Background is an essential step that produces colourful 2D maps of the footprint of the early universe. Here cosmologists set the basis for the innovative map-making algorithm employed in BeyondPlanck.

The BeyondPlanck collaboration chases faint signals in the cosmic microwave background (CMB), an echo from the Big Bang, with this novel approach.

Welcome to the inaugural Cosmoglobe kickoff meeting, to be held virtually from June 7-11, 2021.

Welcome to the annual meeting of Euclid Consortium. This year's meeting is hosted by the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics in Oslo, Norway, April 26-29, 2022.

Doctoral candidate Håvard Tveit Ihle at the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is  defending the thesis "Bayesian Data Analysis for Intensity Mapping and CMB Experiments" for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.

Doctoral candidate Johannes Røsok Eskilt at the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis "Signatures of New Physics in the CMB: From Cosmic Topology to Cosmic Birefringence" for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.

Doctoral candidate Renate Mauland-Hus at the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis "Large-scale structure with massive neutrinos and modified gravity: A simulation-based approach" for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.

"The ability to do world class research and collaborate with other European researchers while at the same time experiencing a new culture is what really drew me to Oslo."

"From early age I've always loved the stars, and Astrophysics has always been my favourite part of physics."

"Norway is an incredibly beautiful country for its particularly supportive education system."

"Since I did both my bachelor’s and master’s degree at UiO, and then decided on doing a PhD here, it might be easy to tell that I like Oslo and ITA a lot."

"Living in Scandinavia was also a personal dream, since I have always admired the lifestyle and the well-being generally associated to these countries" - Davide Decataldo.

"There is something really compelling to me about cosmology in general, that we are able to answer philosophical questions quantitatively" - Duncan Watts.

"My research goal? Constraining cosmological and gravitational models and discovering the nature of dark energy".
