Catching Slippery Gravity with Fast Radio Bursts
Why is the Universe’s expansion accelerating? We have no idea! But, maybe fast radio bursts can provide some clues.
A Dark Matter Fossil Record: Using Geology to Probe Time-Varying Dark Matter Signals
Move over, dinosaurs — the search for fossilized dark matter is the new trend in (galactic) geology.
A Peculiar Use of AI: Predicting Cosmic Velocities with Neural Networks
When studying the Universe becomes too complicated for human brains, we turn to artificial intelligence! Check out how today’s authors used a neural network to predict motions on the Universe’s largest scales
Bursting the Hubble Trouble Bubble: Measuring H0 with Fast Radio Bursts
Do you like fast radio bursts but hate the Hubble tension? If so, then this paper showing the first measurement of the Hubble constant using FRB observations is for you!
From Dust Bunnies to Black Holes: Oppenheimer-Snyder Collapse
In this summary of a classic paper from 1939, we look back at the very first theory of black hole formation: Oppenheimer and Snyder’s model of a spherically collapsing ball of dust.
