Dr. Heather Crawford, Adjunct Professor of Physics & Astronomy, and several graduate students traveled to the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University to participate in an experiment studying the very neutron-rich Carbon isotopes (16,18,20C) by measuring the states populated in proton-knockout reactions from neutron-rich nitrogen. The experiment […]

Clowe, Santana Probe First Signs of Self-interacting Dark Matter

This image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows the rich galaxy cluster Abell 3827. The strange blue structures surrounding the central galaxies are gravitationally lensed views of a much more distant galaxy behind the cluster. Observations of the central four merging galaxies have provided hints that the dark matter around one of the galaxies is not moving with the galaxy itself, possibly implying dark matter-dark matter interactions of an unknown nature are occurring.

For the first time, dark matter may have been observed interacting with other dark matter in a way other than through the force of gravity. Observations of colliding galaxies made with ESO’s Very Large Telescope and the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have picked up the first intriguing hints about the […]
