Today’s paper constrains cosmological parameters from one of the largest ground-based astrophysical surveys ever undertaken – DES. An insight into their first-year’s data analysis, released in August 2017.
If you thought the weather on Earth was wild, think again: today we’re discussing the climate of WASP-121b.
The accuracy of our estimates of the radii of white dwarf stars has important implications to cosmology. We currently rely on a theoretical mass-radius relationship for that. Are we doing a good job?

Today’s paper takes you back to the time when anisotropies in the Cosmic Microwave Background first shaped Observational Cosmology into the field it is today.
Folmahaut’s debris disk has been observed to have an unusual brightening in millimeter wavelengths.
Brown dwarfs are objects below the mass limit to become a star. It’s been less than 20 years since we’ve detected the first one. Can citizen science help us increase our numbers?
