Detailed Map of Dark Matter
Recently, researchers from the US, Canada, and the UK used the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) to create a detailed map of dark matter using light from the early universe.
About the Study
- Researchers created the detailed map to observe how dark matter interacts with the gravity of massive objects like galaxy clusters and lumps of dark matter.
- The study aims to answer a big question in cosmology, which is how quickly the lumps of dark matter form over time, as they are believed to be important for galaxy formation and growth.
Key Findings
- The new findings agree with the standard model ....
