Mapping the Universe with eBOSS: Will Percival Public Lecture
This lecture presents the methodology and key findings from the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS), detailing its construction of the largest 3D map of the universe and its implications for cosmological models and the physics of cosmic expansion.
In his Perimeter Public Lecture webcast on April 7, 2021, cosmologist Will Percival will aim to help the audience grasp the enormity of space using the latest results from the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS), which created the largest three-dimensional map of the universe ever made and provided profound insights into the physics of the universe in which we live.
