The Nobel Prize for the Foundations of Modern Cosmology
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!
Cosmic Archaeology from an Ancient Pulsating Star
Is the gravitational constant really constant? Today’s authors investigate using an 11 billion year old star.
New Cosmological Detectives: Using FRBs to Constrain the Diffuse Gas Fraction
With an ideal dataset of many localized FRBs, how can the diffuse gas fraction in the IGM be constrained?
