7,000 Galaxy Clusters, Hiding in Plain Sight
A five year survey by the South Pole Telescope has produced a catalogue of more than seven thousand galaxy clusters, some dating back nearly eight billion years, giving astronomers their most detailed map yet of the universe's largest structures. Hidden inside the data is something even the researchers did not expect, a discovery that is quietly reshaping how we think star formation unfolded across the history of the universe.
A study conducted by physicists at Argonne National Laboratory resulted in the creation of a catalog of over 7,190 galaxy clusters, based on five years of observations made by the South Pole Telescope. These clusters, which are the largest structures in the universe, offer important insights into dark matter and dark energy. The study was conducted by Argonne National Laboratory using the SPT 3G experiment. This project relied on an enhanced cam…
