UH astronomers map distances to 56,000 galaxies
How old is our universe, and what is its size? A team of researchers led by IfA astronomers Brent Tully and Ehsan Kourkchi has assembled the largest-ever compilation of high-precision galaxy distances, called Cosmicflows-4.
UH astronomers produce catalog to extensively map universe
What does our universe look like at the largest size scales? A massive new catalog of high-fidelity distance estimates to more than 350 million galaxies reveals the soap-bubble structure of the universe in detail.
Astronomers trace galaxy flows across 700 Million light years
In a major new study, a team of astronomers from the IfA, University of Maryland and University of Paris-Saclay has traced the movement of 10,000 galaxies and clusters of galaxies, the dominant congregations of matter, within 350 million light-years.
New study proposes expansion of the universe directly impacts growth of black holes
A team of researchers from the Universities of Hawai`i, Chicago, and Michigan have proposed a novel solution to the problem of the unexpectedly large black hole masses found by gravitational wave observatories: that they grow with the expansion of the Universe.
