New ideas about the “dark universe”, which includes both dark matter and dark energyemerged from a new method of studying 3D Maps of Galaxies. Scientists used sophisticated computer algorithms to analyze the relative positions of galaxies in a 3D structure, revealing previously hidden information that could challenge or support the standard cosmology model. This method, unlike the older techniques, preserves the three -dimensional integrity of the data, offering a deeper understanding of the structure of the universe.
New approach for galactic mapping
According to the to study Led by Tokyo University Astronomer Minh Nguyen, the latest approach uses advanced field inference techniques combined with galaxy growth algorithms and dark matter halos. This technique is based on the traditional method of galaxies research, which in the past depended on two-dimensional measurements. By adding a third dimension through the deviation data to red, scientists managed to map the galaxies more accurately and analyze their distribution in space.
In traditional methods, data is often compressed on “N-Pocent correlation functions, which, although efficient, have shown the main details. The FLI technique, which works directly with 3D data, allows a more subtle and detailed analysis of galaxy positioning. Like Nguyen told Space.com, this new method reveals hidden information about the distribution and behavior of galaxies and their dark matter surrounding, shedding light on possible inconsistencies in current cosmological theories.
Unlocking mysteries of dark matter
The advance can lead to new discoveries about the evolution of galaxies and their interactions with dark matter. Initial tests showed a significant improvement in accuracy when compared to traditional methods, with researchers observing a level of detail three to five times higher. The next phase of the test will involve actual data from the next missions and space observatories, including the dark energy spectroscopic instrument and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory.
This technique could provide information about the nature of dark matter and its role in the formation of the universe, potentially unlocking answers to some of the most pressing questions of modern astrophysics.
