Event Description Masao Sako, PhD, associate professor, University of Pennsylvania
Distance measurements using explosions of white dwarfs have played a central role in modern cosmology, leading to the remarkable discovery that the universe is presently going through an accelerated expansion. Despite more than a decade of extensive observational and theoretical efforts, the physical origin of this acceleration remains a complete mystery. Masao Sako, PhD, will discuss the observational progress made over the past several years and advances that will be made by the Dark Energy Survey (DES). |
