A new study in published in Physical Review Letters analyzes the most complete set of galaxy clustering data to test the ΛCDM model, revealing discrepancies in the formation of cosmic structures in ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have created the most detailed map of the cosmic web ever.

Massive neutrinos play a subtle yet pivotal role in the evolution of cosmic structure. Unlike cold dark matter, neutrinos retain relativistic velocities for an extended epoch, producing a ...

Velocity streamlines within the reconstructed volume, with colored envelopes associated with the prominent nearby basins of attraction. The map and streamlines have been cropped to the region covered ...

The Universe on the largest scales exhibits a complex network of filaments, sheets and voids that together form the cosmic web. This web is generated by the gravitational growth of primordial density ...

Is it possible to understand the universe without understanding the largest structures that reside in it? In principle, not likely. In practical terms? Definitely not. Extremely large objects can ...

A new study published in Nature may have solved one of astrophysics’ most persistent mysteries: how the universe creates enormous, organized magnetic fields from violent turbulence. Using some of the ...
