Most accurate measurement of dark matter made
Scientists have made the most accurate measurement ever of the dark matter in the present- day universe, providing support to the theory that the elusive particle makes up majority of the cosmos. The measurements of the amount and “clumpiness” (or distribution) of dark matter were made with a precision that, for the first time, rivals that of inferences from the early universe by the European Space Agency’s orbiting Planck observatory.
El Dark Energy Survey publica la medida más precisa de la estructura de la materia oscura en el universo
El nuevo resultado compite en precisión con las medidas de la radiación de fondo de microondas y confirma que la materia oscura y la energía oscura componen la mayor parte del cosmos.
Investigadores del Centro de Investigaciones Energéticas, Medioambientales y Tecnológicas (CIEMAT) , el Institut de Ciències de l’Espai (IEEC-CSIC) , el Institut de Física d’Altes Energies (IFAE) y el Instituto de Física Teórica (UAM-CSIC) participan en el resultado.

Levantamento Dark Energy Survey revela a medida mais precisa da estrutura da matéria escura no Universo
O novo resultado se compara à precisão das medidas da radiação cósmica de fundo, e sustenta a teoria que a matéria escura e a energia escura compõem a maior parte do cosmos.
Scott Dodelson Appointed Head of Department of Physics
Renowned physicist Scott Dodelson has been named the head of the Department of Physics in Carnegie Mellon University’s Mellon College of Science. He is the co-chair of the Science Committee for the Dark Energy Survey (DES), an international collaboration that aims to map hundreds of millions of galaxies, detect thousands of supernovae and find patterns of cosmic structure in an attempt to reveal the nature of dark energy. On Aug. 3, the DES released results that measured the structure of the universe to the highest level of precision yet.
Supercomputing the Dark Energy Survey at NCSA
Researchers are using NCSA supercomputers to explore the mysteries of Dark Matter.
New measurements from data processed by the Dark Energy Survey Data Management (DESDM) project at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign verify the theory that 26 percent of the Universe is in the form of mysterious dark matter and that space is filled with an also-unseen dark energy, which is causing the accelerating expansion of the universe and makes up 70 percent of the Universe’s contents.
Standard model of the universe withstands most precise test by Dark Energy Survey
“It is amazing that the team has managed to achieve such precision from only the first year of their survey,” said National Science Foundation Program Director Nigel Sharp. “Now that their analysis techniques are developed and tested, we look forward with eager anticipation to breakthrough results as the survey continues.”
Crean el mapa más grande de la materia oscura en el universo jamás hecho
Los científicos que participan en la colaboración internacional del Dark Energy Survey (DES) han presentado la medida más precisa realizada hasta la fecha sobre la estructura a gran escala del universo actual. La serie de artículos científicos publicados, que abren una nueva era en la historia de la cosmología, determinan la cantidad y distribución de la materia oscura en el universo actual, con una precisión que rivaliza con las medidas del cosmos primitivo estimadas por la misión espacial Planck de la Agencia Espacial Europea.
Dark Energy Survey Reveals Most Accurate Measurement of Dark Matter Structure in the Universe
New result rivals precision of cosmic microwave background measurements, supports view that dark matter and dark energy make up most of the cosmos
The most detailed dark matter map of the Universe
A new study from the Dark Energy Survey reveals the most accurate measurement of dark matter structure in the universe. This research uses galaxy positions and shapes to confirm that dark matter and dark energy make up most of the cosmos. Researchers from the Australian Astronomical Observatory contributed to the study with data collected at the 3.9m Anglo-Australian Telescope.
