The South Pole Telescope: stars, AGN, and the CMB, oh my!
Ever wondered what science gets done at the South Pole? It turns out that many astrophysics and cosmology experiments end up there!
Four Spiral Arms Walk into a Bar…
Mapping the structure of dense gas in the Milky Way is a huge undertaking… which is why we have huge surveys!
Joint Survey Constraints for Cheap!
Constraining physical parameters in a cosmological survey is often computationally expensive, especially when considering more than one survey at a time. The authors of this paper offer a simple method to reconstruct parameter distributions in a fraction of the time needed for most high-performance computers.
