Indispensable for the building of cosmological models are precise

observational data. To provide such data is the main purpose of this book. First, an analysis of recent cosmological observations using artificial

satellites and large ground-based telescopes is given. Among these are

the observation of the spatial distribution of galaxies and clusters,
the detection of peculiar velocity fields in large regions, and the

measurement of anisotropies in the microwave background radiation. Second, the authors present theoretical models which best fit the given

observational data. The book addresses graduate students and

astronomers and astrophysicists.
