Dr. Anne-Marie Weijmans
Dr. Anne-Marie Weijmans is an astronomer and Data Coordinator at SDSS. Her research concentrates on the structure and evolution of galaxies, and more specifically, on the properties of their dark matter haloes. Watch her presentation on the lives of galaxies below.
Dr. Karen L Masters
Dr. Karen L Masters is an astronomer working at the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation, University of Portsmouth, UK. She is also the Project Scientist for Galaxy Zoo where her research time is spent combining classifications from this project with other data to study galaxy evolution. That’s her relation to the Sloan Digital Sky Survey where she is a member and Director of Public Engagement and Outreach for SDSS-IV.
Inspiration for the Dark Matter Dress
The galaxy map featured on the dress was made thanks to hundreds of scientists and astronomers from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III collaborating to measure 1.2 million galaxies covering a volume of 650 cubic billion light-years. The result is the massive orange dotted map below. If that’s not mind-boggling enough; consider that each of those dots is a galaxy that each houses a few hundred billion stars.
