Galaxy clusters yield new evidence for standard model of cosmology

Cosmologists have found new evidence for the standard model of cosmology—this time, using data on the structure of galaxy clusters. In a recent study published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, a team led by physicists at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University made detailed measurements of the X-ray emission from galaxy clusters, which revealed the distribution of matter within them. In turn, the data helped the scientists test the prevailing theory of the structure and evolution of the universe, known as Lambda-CDM.
