Here's the key figure in the paper. It's a comparison of many different ways of measuring the Hubble constant (H0, the present-day expansion rate of the Universe) and the (present-day) matter density (Omega_m). The white circle is the region where most can sort of agree.

For ggplot, ggsignif () is my current favorite.

Have multiple plots that should share a colorbar? You can pass in a list/array of axes to fig.colorbar!

# loop over axes to plot pcolormesh
fig.colorbar(pcm, ax=axs[:, col], shrink=0.6)

If you're unsure of which method to use for creating subplots, subplot_mosaic is always a good starting point:
fig, axd = plt.subplot_mosaic([['point', 'area'], ['line', 'line']])
