This week’s entry features a futuristic way for obtaining a direct geometrical measurement of the Hubble constant using the so-called cosmic secular parallax, a study on the possibility of cross-correlating ultra-high energy cosmic rays and large-scale structure and what we would learn from this cross-correlation, and the second-best constraint on the tidal charge of brane-world black holes from the shadow of M87* detected by the Event Horizon Telescope. Enjoy!
Top arXiv papers from Week 2, 2020
Here is the second entry of my “Top arXiv papers of the week” column. The usual warnings I already pointed out in the first entry hold here too, in other words your mileage may vary. With these caveats in mind, hope you enjoy!
