Explaining Ancient Stellar Populations

Explaining Ancient Stellar Populations

by Caitlin Doughty | Aug 30, 2019 | Daily Paper Summaries

Why do some dwarf galaxies exhibit such old stellar populations? Perhaps simulations of reionization including radiative transfer can help to explain this peculiar trait.

TLDR: the TRGB gives us another H0tTake!

TLDR: the TRGB gives us another H0tTake!

by Tarini Konchady | Jul 25, 2019 | Daily Paper Summaries

The Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB) allows for another H0 measurement to enter the ring. Credit for “H0tTake” goes to the conference “Tensions between the Early and the Late Universe” hosted at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics!
