Building an Inclusive Astronomy Community
This bite lays out the Nashville Recommendations, from the Inclusive Astronomy meeting in 2015.
What is the Most Massive Object in the Universe?
Trying to find the most massive galaxy cluster in the night sky can be hard. Comparing predictions of these masses to observed clusters? Even harder. An insight into the world of Halo Mass Functions and their tail-ends.
No Missing Satellites?
In the study of structure formation in the universe, the ‘missing satellite galaxies’ problem is said to be almost solved. Is today’s paper the final nail in the coffin?
Supernovae as near-infrared Standard Candles: Measuring H0
In the quest to obtain precise measurements of the Hubble Constant, Type Ia supernoave have been consistently used as optical standard candles. What if near-infrared observations of SNe joined the race?
Cosmology Results from The Dark Energy Survey!
Today’s paper constrains cosmological parameters from one of the largest ground-based astrophysical surveys ever undertaken – DES. An insight into their first-year’s data analysis, released in August 2017.
