Finding the Missing Bridges Between Galaxy Clusters
In today’s paper, the authors look for the more than 50% of matter in the universe that’s ‘missing’ from our count by searching for bridges between clusters of galaxies.
Using Machine Learning to Make A Really Big Detailed Simulation
In today’s astrobite, we examine an application of machine learning in astronomy that may enable new breakthroughs in simulations of large scale structure.
Anything Can be a Dark Matter Detector
It turns out that just about anything can be a dark matter detector! Tiny tunnels in materials could be indicative of primordial black holes (PBHs) whizzing through the universe.
Red Giants Have it All: Dark Matter Constraints from Stellar Evolution
How can astronomers use existing understandings of stellar evolution to better study dark matter?
Exploring the Zone of Avoidance: hidden structures
Today’s bite will look at how astronomers have recently made observations to search for large-scale structure hidden by the Milky Way’s Zone of Avoidance.
Tracing the chemistry of our galactic ancestors
High-redshift galaxies are the keys to understanding our own galactic history, and today’s authors show us how.
