Cosmology

SLAC completes construction of the largest digital camera ever built for astronomy

The cosmic microwave background — the universe’s oldest light — has traversed vast distances before reaching us. During its extended journey, gravitational forces from massive cosmic structures caused its trajectory to bend before being captured by the South Pole Telescope.

Dynamical friction. The panels depict sparse areas of the universe with dark colour and dense areas with light colour. The upper panels show the density around a galaxy if the galaxy's gravity bends (left) or does not bend (right) the trajectories of dark matter particles. The lower panel shows the difference between them, or how the galaxy affects the distribution of dark matter. The arrows represent the acceleration caused by the overdensity behind the galaxy, from which the friction on the centre of the galaxy is deducted. Since the arrows have different directions and strengths in different areas, the tidal forces are able to change the shape of a galaxy.

Like Goldilocks, the team compared the number of galaxy clusters measured with predictions from numerical simulations to determine which answer was “just right.”
