Black Holes Eating Stellar Shedding
Stars shed material as they shine, and today’s authors think this may be enough to power X-ray emission from a massive black hole!
Meet the AAS Keynote Speakers: Dr Tonima Tasnim Ananna
Today we interview Dr. Tonima Tasnim Ananna, who is a professor at Wayne State University and one of this year’s #AAS247 Plenary speakers!
Stellar Feedback Regulating Massive Black Hole Growth
How is the growth of massive black holes regulated by starlight and stellar explosions? Learn more in today’s bite!
Does Feedback Support Massive Black Hole Growth in Dwarf Galaxies?
How does one prevent a black hole from growing in a tiny galaxy? Today’s authors investigate two potential mechanisms!
Eating Up the Competition: Super-Competitive Accretion in Early Star Clusters
Some of the first clusters of stars may have had massive cannibal stars! Learn more in today’s bite.
Bumpy road ahead: can binary interactions make supernovae periodically brighter?
Some supernovae have bumpy light curves – could a baby neutron star repeatedly diving into the envelope of its inflated companion be the cause? Today’s authors simulate this to find out!
