Collaborative Research: Combining Galaxy and Cosmic Microwave Background Surveys for Preci — NSF Award to University of Chicago (I
The distribution of matter throughout the cosmos carries information about the origin, future, and composition of the Universe. However, obtaining high-precision measurements of the matter distribution is challenging: most of the matter is in the form of invisible dark matter, making it impossible to observe directly.

| Abstract | The distribution of matter throughout the cosmos carries information about the origin, future, and composition of the Universe. However, obtaining high-precision measurements of the matter distribution is challenging: most of the matter is in the form of invisible dark matter, making it impossible to observe directly. Instead, techniques such as gravitational lensing – the bending of light by gravity – must be used to infer where the matter is. With this research program, scientists at the Unive |
