How well can we estimate the Milky Way’s dark matter distribution with an old, simple method paired with full 6D phase-space coordinates of field halo stars and advanced fitting techniques? Today’s #UndergradResearch post explains!
Today’s #UndergradResearch post features Shashwat Singh’s work using deep learning as an asset for gravitational wave astronomy!
A new two-layer model of radar scattering seeks to explain the unique properties of various terrains on Saturn’s largest moon.
Astronomers connect volunteered computers on MilkyWay@home and model the dark matter content of dwarf galaxies.
Dark matter subhalos are invisible and hard to detect, but astronomers in today’s paper use stellar streams to take a stab.
Massive stars live fast and die young, making metals along the way.
