My thoughts on what the Hubble tension really is, based on George Efstathiou’s “To H0 or not to H0?“, arXiv:2103.08723.
Dark matter indirect detection
This week’s post is devoted to the search of Jupiter’s lightning bolts (aka gamma-rays from dark matter), the construction of new astrophysically-motivated black hole mass function and subsequent search for the black hole mass gap, and a (unusual for this blog, I know!) philosophical discussion on the anthropic principle.
With a week of delay, due to my recent travels to Norway, my Week 10 arXiv summaries are out! This week’s papers are all more or less related to dark matter, covering the particle physics, gravitational waves, and cosmology side of the story. Enjoy, and note that Week 11’s summaries are out too!
