Meet the AAS Keynote Speakers: Dr. Priyamvada Natarajan
Can we break the standard model of cosmology? Come find out at Dr. Priya Natarajan’s #AAS237 talk!
Analysing Thermal Spectra with Machine Learning
A machine learning approach to characterise the multi-component thermal emission from the intracluster medium.
1981: Barbara Williams becomes the first Black woman to get a PhD…
Today’s Astrobite looks at a classic paper by Barbara Williams, the first Black woman to get a PhD
Running up that hill: are some galaxy clusters moving away faster than others?
We discuss a new way to test the cosmological principle using X-ray studies of galaxy clusters in this Astrobite.
Investigating Early Populations of Galaxies with the Best Telescopes in the Universe
Galaxy clusters act like cosmic telescopes, magnifying our view of the universe. These exceptionally massive structures allow astronomers to gaze deep into the cosmos and study galaxies during early ages of the universe in fantastic detail. With the completion of the Frontier Fields survey, we can now study a population of magnified, distant galaxies like never before.
