The past two and a half decades have seen enormous advances in the study of cosmic structure, both in our knowledge of how it is manifest in the large-scale matter distribution, and in our ...

In physical cosmology, the term large-scale structure refers to the characterization of observable distributions of matter and light on the largest scales (typically on the order of billions of ...

Researchers carried out simulations of large-scale structure formation in the Universe that accurately reproduce the dynamics of ghost-like particles called neutrinos left over from the Big Bang ...

Astronomers have released their first version of a 3-D map of the universe from their FastSound project, which is surveying galaxies in the universe over 9 billion light-years away.

Universe, in order to calculate subtle observable relativistic effects. Creating giant simulations with relativistic effects in the formation of large-scale structure Calculating and predicting the ...

Get our newsletter! An impression of the large-scale structure of the universe, showing galaxy clusters and superclusters arranged in long filaments and concentrated at nodes.

“While it is difficult to fathom the scale of this large quasar group, we can say quite definitely it is the largest structure ever seen in the entire universe. This is hugely exciting – not ...

Mikhail Ivanov, Oliver Philcox, and Marko Simonović won the New Horizons Award for their work on large scale structures — the strands and filaments of our universe which contain buried clues to ...

The large-scale structure of the Universe changes over time, as tiny imperfections grow to form the first stars and galaxies, then merge together to form the large, modern galaxies we see today.

Researchers led by the University of Tsukuba carried out simulations of large-scale structure formation in the Universe that accurately reproduce the dynamics of ghost-like particles called ...

At the same time, however, the scale of the universe is roughly 1029 centimeters across, which is enormous by any scale of microphysics. Carroll says it’s perfectly reasonable to ask why.
