Astrophysicists Offer Explanation for Origin of One of Milky Way’s Largest Satellites
The satellite galaxy Crater II (or Crater 2) of the Milky Way is located approximately 380,000 light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Crater. This galaxy is extremely cold and exceptionally diffuse, and has low surface brightness. According to new research, Crater II exists thanks to a self-interacting dark matter. Positions of Crater II
Astrophysicists Find New Evidence for Standard Model of Cosmology
Astrophysicists from SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University have measured the X-ray emission from galaxy clusters, which revealed the distribution of matter within them. In turn, the data helped the scientists test the Lambda-CDM model — the prevailing theory of the structure and evolution of the Universe. This artist’s impression shows the evolution of
