A touch of awe: crafting meaning from the wonder of the cosmos by Paulson, S, Davies, P, Louis, A, Walkowicz, L

“…In conversation with Steve Paulson, executive producer and host of To the Best of Our Knowledge, theoretical physicists Paul Davies and Ard Louis, and astrophysicist Lucianne Walkowicz share their perceptions based on years of gazing upward and beyond our own intimate planet.…”

Abnormal light propagation and the underdetermination of theory by evidence in astrophysics by Asenjo, F, Hojman, S, Linnemann, N, Read, JAM

“…Having established these results, we then turn to their conceptual significance—which, in brief, we take to be the following: (i) one should not assume that the part of electromagnetic waves from outer space that is subject to detection is localised onto null trajectories; therefore (ii) astrophysicists and cosmologists should at least be wary about making such assumptions in their inferences from obtained data, for to do so may lead to incorrect inferences regarding the nature of our universe.…”

Heteroscedastic Gaussian processes for uncertain and incomplete data by Almosallam, I

“…This problem, by its nature, can capitalise on the features of the proposed model as the noise on the photometry can vary across different galaxies or catalogues, not all photometry might be available during prediction or shared amongst different surveys, and the input-dependent uncertainty estimation gives astrophysicists the ability to trade off completeness for accuracy to answer a range of different questions related to astronomy and cosmology.…”

Data challenges in pulsar searches by Van Heerden, E

“…</p> <p>An example of a future project in radio astronomy that promises both Big Data and Big Discoveries is the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) radio telescope project. Astrophysicists are confident that the Big Data amassed by the SKA will not only answer fundamental questions regarding the Universe but also contain big discoveries not yet postulated. …”

Donald Lynden-Bell (1935-2018) by Davies, R

“…In 1969, Donald Lynden-Bell became the first astrophysicist to suggest that supermassive black holes in the cores of galaxies might generate the profuse energy put out by quasars — the astonishingly luminous distant bodies identified by astronomer Maarten Schmidt earlier that decade. …”

Physics of cosmic plasmas from high angular resolution X-ray imaging of galaxy clusters by Markevitch, M, Bulbul, E, Churazov, E, Giacintucci, S, Kraft, R, Kunz, M, Nagai, D, Roediger, E, Ruszkowski, M, Schekochihin, A, Weeren, RV, Vikhlinin, A, Walker, SA, Wang, QHS, Werner, N, Wik, D, Zhuravleva, I, Zuhone, J

“…While every cluster astrophysicist is eagerly anticipating the direct gas velocity measurements from the forthcoming microcalorimeters onboard XRISM, Athena and future missions such as Lynx, a number of those plasma properties can best be probed by high-resolution X-ray imaging of galaxy clusters. …”

"Dark matter" worlds of unstable RNA and protein. by Baboo, S, Cook, P

“…Astrophysicists use the term "dark matter" to describe the majority of the matter and/or energy in the universe that is hidden from view, and biologists now apply it to the new families of RNA they are uncovering. …”
