Galaxy Clusters

New AI Distinguishes Dark Matter from Cosmic Interference

Categories Physics & Mathematics, Space, Technology

This artist's concept shows what happened when two massive clusters of galaxies, collectively known as MACS J0018.5, collided: The dark matter in the galaxy clusters (blue) sailed ahead of the associated clouds of hot gas, or normal matter (orange). Both dark matter and normal matter feel the pull of gravity, but only the normal matter experiences additional effects like shocks and turbulence that slow it down during collisions.

Titanic galaxy cluster collision in the early Universe challenges standard cosmology

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

An example of a gravitational lens found in the DESI Legacy Surveys data. There are four sets of lensed images in DESI-090.9854-35.9683, corresponding to four distinct background galaxies — from the outermost giant red arc to the innermost bright blue arc, arranged in four concentric circles. All of them are gravitationally warped — or lensed — by the orange galaxy at the very center.
