The expansion rate of the universe is one of the biggest questions that the JWST set out to answer. In a preprint posted Monday evening, three different data sets from the Webb telescope fail to nail down the answer. For now, the Hubble tension lives on. www.quantamagazine.org/the-webb-tel...
It's been a long time coming... I'm super excited to announce the CCHP's local measurement of the Hubble constant via the JAGB method, a standard candle I have been developing during graduate school. We find H0 = 67.96 +/- 1.85 km/s/Mpc. arxiv.org/abs/2408.03474
The J-region asymptotic giant branch (JAGB) method is a new standard candle based on the constant luminosities of carbon-rich asymptotic giant branch stars in the J band. The JAGB method is...
Two Small Magellanic Clouds Are Better than One @astrobites.bsky.social@abigaillee.bsky.socialaasnova.org/2024/01/30/t... 🔭
Astrobites reports on the recent exciting discovery that the Small Magellanic Cloud is actually composed of two distinct star-forming systems.
