A study published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (JCAP) presents a methodology to test the assumption of cosmic homogeneity and isotropy, known as the Cosmological Principle, by ...
Berkeley, CA — Weak gravitational lensing is a uniquely promising way to learn how much dark matter there is in the Universe and how its distribution has evolved since the distant past. New work by a ...
Weak gravitational lensing arises from the minute deflection of light from distant galaxies by the gravitational potential of intervening large-scale structure. The coherent distortions in galaxy ...
