Guidelines:
All of the participants must read the discussed paper at each session. The presenter may assume that all of the participants have the same baseline (i.e., basically cosmological and astrophysical courses). However, questions are most welcome. If while preparing for a session one or more participants see that he or she has some difficulties in preparing for the session please ask one of the student for help, so we all will have some kind of baseline.
