A problem confronts cosmology: Two independent measurements of the universe’s expansion give incompatible answers. Now a third method, advanced by an astronomy pioneer, appears to bridge the divide.

Abstract: We present a methodology for ensuring the robustness of our analysis pipeline in separating the global 21-cm hydrogen cosmology signal from large systematics based on singular value ...

Two rival University of California astrophysicists are among the three winners of this year’s Nobel Prize in physics for decades-long research that confirmed the presence of the supermassive black ...

STOCKHOLM (AP) — Three scientists, including MIT graduate Andrea Ghez, won this year’s Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for advancing our understanding of black holes, the all-consuming monsters that ...

JIM PEEBLES is widely known as the architect of modern cosmology – and its nice-guy-in-chief. Awarding his half-share of the 2019 Nobel prize for physics, the committee said he “took on the cosmos”, ...

The birthplace of modern cosmology “has been declared safe” from the wildfires that have ravaged the surrounding area in Southern California. By Dennis Overbye Mount Wilson Observatory, where ...

Abstract: In order to characterize and model the beam-weighted foreground for global 21-cm signal experiments, we present a methodology for generating basis eigenvectors that combines analytical and ...
