Adversarial Networks, Collaborative Cosmology
Can fake data help to make real computational gains? In today’s paper, the authors describe using machine learning to boost the resolution of cosmological simulations.
UR: Acoustic Parameters as Discriminators of Wall Events in PICO Dark Matter Search Data
In the latest of our #UndergradResearch series, discover how Lucia Volkova has been working with PICO to improve bubble chambers, one possible way to detect dark matter.
A universe of pancakes
Today’s classic paper predicts the formation of “cosmic pancakes” on the largest scales.
A story of light and darkness
There’s a problem with dark matter, and two possible solutions: bright, luminous supernovae, or dark matter itself.
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.
More surviving subhalos in higher resolution than zoom-in simulations
Today’s guest post looks at the surviving galactic subhalos in simulations.
