A Pulsar’s Surface Map Gets a NICER Update

A Pulsar’s Surface Map Gets a NICER Update

by Kaitlyn Shin | Dec 30, 2019 | Daily Paper Summaries

Recent X-ray observations of a pulsar reveal a stranger configuration of “hot spots” than previously thought.

Constraining the Hubble Constant with Lensed Gravitational Wave Events

Constraining the Hubble Constant with Lensed Gravitational Wave Events

by Kaitlyn Shin | Dec 2, 2019 | Daily Paper Summaries

Gravitational waves have been used to measure the Hubble constant before, but the uncertainties were too large to provide competitive constraints. However, using lensed gravitational wave events could be a game-changer.

The Nobel Prize for the Foundations of Modern Cosmology

The Nobel Prize for the Foundations of Modern Cosmology

by Kaitlyn Shin | Oct 17, 2019 | Classics, Current Events

Half of the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to James Peebles for his work in physical cosmology. Come read about some of his contributions that led to this recognition!

New Cosmological Detectives: Using FRBs to Constrain the Diffuse Gas Fraction

New Cosmological Detectives: Using FRBs to Constrain the Diffuse Gas Fraction

by Kaitlyn Shin | Sep 11, 2019 | Daily Paper Summaries

With an ideal dataset of many localized FRBs, how can the diffuse gas fraction in the IGM be constrained?

H0ly Cow! A New Measurement of the Hubble Constant

H0ly Cow! A New Measurement of the Hubble Constant

by Kaitlyn Shin | Jul 12, 2019 | Daily Paper Summaries

The field of cosmology just can’t seem to agree on a value of the Hubble constant, so astrophysicists attempt to provide a new, independent measurement using strong gravitational lensing.
