I'm not a cosmologist or astrophysicist, simply an amateur astronomer who, when I'm not looking up at the sky, is often looking down and reading about the people who are working to help all of us to appreciate, explore, and better understand the wonders of our universe, and this discovery is THRILLING - it totally does my head in, but in a very good way. :) Congrats to Alexia and her colleagues at UCLan!
I am no cosmologist either my interest is within the realms of our solar system occasionally the galaxy but this is deep, deep, deep into our Universe and the technology we have to do this type of research is seriously mind blowing. She did answer a lot of questions on the AAS 238... She knows her stuff, very proud of her. Thank you for your support.
I admire Alexia so much; I also admire her father- what a loving tribute to a woman who, for all her capabilities in astrophysics and music, remains your beloved girl.
Thank you for uploading. I had the opportunity to witness a rocket launch in 2018. Memorable experience. I uploaded a pretty cool montage of the trip to my channel.
At the moment Alexia is inundated with work but has passed a message: "Possibly not much, the James Webb telescope mission objectives appear to be focussed on understanding star and galaxy formation as opposed to looking at the larger picture of LSS. It will certainly be able to uncover some intriguing things about the early universe though, and that will be very interesting :)".
I would want to know the Abell designations (or any other designations) of the clusters, as well as the location of the clustering in the sky. This is pretty exciting for me. Who knows. Maybe some of the clusters are rich, Abell types I to II, which would mean a true overdensity in the region and meant the presence of a galactic filamentary structure.
I've sent your message directly to Alexia and she immediately responded with surprise "Oh yeah :) , we’ve looked at the DESI clusters and also the field quasars from SDSS DR16q, but the Abel clusters aren’t high enough redshift... the Abel clusters only go to z=0.2 whereas the GA is at z=0.8. But she appreciates your thoughts/message/question with more about the quasars showing a tentative association but the DESI clusters not so much. So they are currently investigating what this means for the environment of the GA. When she complete her paper in the next few weeks a live video might be on the cards for everyone on this channel to ask more questions like this to be answered by her... Maybe one Sunday night. It will have to be planned with interest from a few science fans. Many thank, Nes.
I see. I would be waiting for the release of her paper in order to read about it in greater detail. Tell her that I extend my congratulations for this remarkable discovery. I can't wait to see the press release and for it to be another big news for the astronomical community just like the Huge-LQG seven years ago. It also happens to be also discovered by a professor of UCLan. :)
A very proud dad!
Beautiful, intelligent and talented! Congrats 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much 🤗 for your support.

Good job to all. Alexia, team and Lancaster university.
Alexia is actually at UCLAN (University of Central Lancashire) not Lancaster University but close :). Many thanks for your support.

Not my field (social scientist) but this is amazing work! Fascinating stuff and what a discovery to make as a Ph.D. student.
Only just heard about this!
Thanks for the presentation!
Our pleasure. She will appreciate the support.
What will the James Webb telescope provide to further investigating this discovery?

Yes, Dr Roger Clowes is Alexia's PhD supervisor.
