Part 2: Data Analysis with the DESI DR2 BAO
Today Astrobites is featuring results from the DESI DR2, published today in PRJ! In Part 2, we discuss 3 additional papers discussing the DESI BAO measurement.
Part 1: Key Results from the DESI DR2
Today Astrobites is featuring results from the DESI DR2, published today in PRJ! In Part 1, we cover the key results papers describing their measurements with DR2.
Using Galaxy Halos to Study Baryonic Feedback in FLAMINGO
Today’s authors use FLAMINGO simulations to probe the tension between different observational methods of estimating cosmological parameters.
Inclusive teaching practices help all students learn, but physicists are reluctant to change the way they teach
In today’s bite we discuss the use of inclusive teaching practices in physics classrooms and why physics professors are unlikely to implement more even though they help all students learn more effectively!
The Continuing Saga of the Not-So-Constant Constant.
The cosmological constant is a constant, right? The word “constant” is right there in the name for goodness sakes. But growing evidence suggests this might not be the case after all. Today’s authors further investigate the DESI analysis pushing our understanding of dark energy.
Strange New Plasma
Using data from NASA’s Juno mission, the authors of today’s paper have discovered plasma conditions so peculiar they don’t exist anywhere else we’ve ever explored in the solar system, giving rise to a whole new type of plasma wave mode.
