Connections Between X-Ray and Neutrino Emission?
Today’s authors investigate how the physics in the extreme environments in the centers of galaxies leads to connections between X-rays and ghostly particles called neutrinos!
The Top Ten Differential Equations in Astronomy, Ranked!
Interested in the definitive, absolutely objective ranking of the best differential equations in astronomy and astrophysics?? Read on!!
Why is there more matter than antimatter? Gravitational waves may help us find the answer
In today’s astrobite, we talk about how gravitational waves could provide insight on particle physics, events in the early Universe, and even matter and antimatter asymmetry.
Engineering Our Universe with String Theory
Guest author Sean McBride guides us through the landscape of string theory…but is it actually a swamp?
Is Dark Matter lurking in the infrared Background?
In today’s bite, we look at a novel way of searching for dark matter using the background of images of galaxies in infrared wavelengths.
A Light in the Dark: Looking for Bright Black Holes as Dark Matter
If extremely low-mass primordial black holes are lurking in our galaxy, they should glow white hot with Hawking radiation. Today’s authors explore whether we can use this fact to tease out their presence.
