  University of Cambridge

CONTACT:Dr Nigel Bennee
DESCRIPTION:Dr King is a well-known and highly regarded speaker on the phe
 nomena of gravitational lensing\, especially as a tool for 'finding' Dark 
 Matter. During the past decade\, a consistent picture of the universe wher
 e the dominant form of matter is cold and dark has emerged from various as
 tronomical observations. In other words\, most of the matter in the univer
 se does not emit light or any other form of electromagnetic radiation that
  can be directly detected using telescopes. This talk will discuss the evi
 dence for the existence of dark matter. In particular it will describe how
  gravitational lensing is used to detect and study the distribution of dar
 k matter in massive objects in the universe\, such as galaxies and galaxy 
 clusters
