Neutrino Mass: Quest Intensifies to Determine
Learn about the Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) detector and alternative experiments exploring the enigmatic nature of neutrinos.
eROSITA Telescope Maps the Dark Matter Network of the Cosmos!
The intricate images captured by the eROSITA telescope stand as some of the most exacting cosmological observations ever conducted.
How Would the Sun React to a Black Hole Intrusion?
In a speculative scenario, diminutive primordial black holes might become ensnared by emerging stars. Led by scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics, an international research team has undertaken a study modeling the progression of these entities known as "Hawking stars." The findings reveal unexpectedly prolonged lifespans for these objects, showcasing similarities to conventional stars across various facets. This research has been documented in The Astrophysical Journal.
The Hubble Tension: A New Possible Explanation
The universe is undergoing expansion, and the rate at which this expansion occurs is quantified by the Hubble-Lemaitre constant. However, there exists a contentious debate regarding the precise magnitude of this constant, as various measurement methods yield conflicting values.
Research Suggests That Living in a Giant Void Could Solve the Puzzle of the Universe’s Expansion
A prominent enigma in cosmology revolves around the pace at which the universe undergoes expansion. Scientists traditionally forecast this expansion rate using the standard model of cosmology, commonly referred to as Lambda-cold dark matter (ΛCDM). This model derives its foundation from meticulous observations of the remnant light originating from the Big Bang, known as the cosmic microwave background (CMB).
Deciphering Enigmas in the Gravitational Collapse of Gravitational Waves
Black holes are celestial areas where gravitational forces are so intense that nothing, not even light, can escape. Despite numerous studies focusing on these intriguing regions, some aspects of the physics governing their formation remain not fully comprehended.
