My thoughts on what the Hubble tension really is, based on George Efstathiou’s “To H0 or not to H0?“, arXiv:2103.08723.
On the day the UK leaves the EU and I get to live in a non-EU country again after 5 years (yeah!), here comes the fifth installment of my “Top arXiv papers of the week“ column. From this week, I will be reviewing 3 papers instead of 5 (for more info, please see this post). You might also have noticed that my blog now has a name (again, see this post for more info). Enjoy!
In the fourth installment of my “Top arXiv papers of the week” column you can read about quantum foam, whether GW190425 is the first neutron star-black hole merger ever detected, the H0 tension and strong lensing time delays, how to efficiently parametrize the spacetime around black holes, and finally whether microlensing of quasars might point towards primordial black holes. Also, I will at least try to come up with a nice name for this blog before next week’s column!
Here comes the third installment of my “Top arXiv papers of the week” column. Remember the warnings I pointed out in the first entry, that comments and criticisms are always appreciated, and enjoy!
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!
This is the first entry of my “Top arXiv papers of the week” column. As explained in my welcome post, I plan to update this column at the end of each week with a brief description of the 5 papers which I found most interesting among all those posted on the arXiv during the week.
Welcome to my blog (for details on why it was posthumously called the way it is called - His Dark CMBlog - please see my later post)! If you want to find out more about me, or simply associate a face to my name, the rest of this website will probably be of help. In my blog I plan to write about a wide variety of topics I am interested in, ranging from physics (ok, mostly cosmology and related areas) to music, football, travels, cooking, and so on, pretty much everything except politics.
