  1. #OxLancs2026

    Preparing my talk for the 1st Ox & Lancs Colloquium on Cosmological Features on the Largest Scales at U. of Lancashire. Highlight of the meeting: a talk by Sir Roger Penrose (Nobel Prize 2020) on "Dark matter in Conformal Cyclic Cosmology and Lopez Galactic Rings".

    Prior-free cosmological parameter estimation of Cosmicflows-4

    The analysis suggests a Hubble constant value of 75.8±0.4 km/s /Mpc, exacerbating (or independently confirming) the existing "Hubble Tension".

  3. Key gravitational structures unveiled in new cosmic research

    A group of international scientists has made significant strides in understanding the large-scale structure of the Universe by identifying critical gravitational regions, termed "basins of attraction."

  4. Cosmography Update

    A 3D map of basins of attractions in the Local Universe, inferred from Cosmicflows-4 and based on a probabilistic approach, gives new insights on our cosmic whereabouts. We have not reached the "End of Greatness" yet!

  5. Advanced data shed light on gravitational basins of attraction that shape the movement of galaxies

    A new study has mapped out the gravitational basins of attraction in the local universe, offering fresh insights into the large-scale cosmic structures that shape the movement of galaxies. The study has been published in #NatureAstronomy

  6. A Nature Grand Slam

    Beside making it to the cover, the discovery is the subject of three editorial and news articles, of a worldwide press release, and of a Nature video that will be viewed by more than 8 million people!

  7. Rising Tension.

    Early Cosmicflows-4 result: R. Watkins+co-authors present an estimate of the bulk flow, the average velocity of the survey volume: about 400 km/s. This has an epsilonesque chance of occurring in the ΛCDM model with CMB derived parameters.
