A sharp post by @jim-wild.bsky.social, while the no reduction from current levels statement from UKRI re PPAN postdoc numbers sounds reassuring, it’s actually very concerning given the current baseline…
Our @durhamphysics.bsky.social @icc-durham.bsky.social researchers will be bringing their Universe Makers exhibit to #SummerScience! You'll be able to see how they model our Universe and explore a live, real-time simulation of the cosmos, flying past stars, galaxies and black holes. We can't wait!
probably about the nature of the dark matter - we think it should be cold rather than warm based on the results from simulations -- now ew just need to find some dark matter in a detector

Did you know that @durhamphysics.bsky.social researchers are involved in the search for life on distant planets? They're investigating how a UK-led team could design and build a core instrument for the new NASA Habitable Worlds mission due to launch in the 2040s 👉 tinyurl.com/3fmwfyur

The concept for one of the BlueMUSE spectrographs. The image from the telescope is split into 16 separate slices and enters the spectrograph at the top left.
@durhamphysics.bsky.social is a major partner in @eso.org’s new BlueMUSE telescope instrument. BlueMUSE will help us see massive stars in the Milky Way and view the distant Universe 👉 www.durham.ac.uk/news-events/...
Our @durhamphysics.bsky.social astronomers have helped create the highest resolution map of the dark matter that threads through our Universe - showing the mysterious substance’s influence on the formation of stars, galaxies and planets. Discover more 👉 www.durham.ac.uk/news-events/...

The @durhamphysics.bsky.social now has an account here to tell you about the latest Physics research news @durham.ac.uk
Experts in our Department of Physics, led by Dr Simone Scaringi have discovered a mysterious bow shock wave around a dead star. With the source of this energy leak a mystery, the discovery could challenge understandings of star evolution. Read more 👉 www.durham.ac.uk/news-events/...

do we really need a top-heavy stellar initial mass function to match the number counts and redshift distributions of dusty star forming galaxies at intermediate redshifts, along with observations of local galaxies?
An application of Bayesian Optimisation to the problem of finding the parameters of galaxy formation models for different calibration datasets.
