Viability of Inhabiting the Galilean Moons
When the day comes for humans to develop permanent places to live on other worlds, we’ll probably start with the Moon or Mars. How feasible would it be to live on the moons of Jupiter too?
On the Insides of Giants: Heat Transfer in Hot-Start, Core-Accreting Gas Giants
Thick clouds shroud the interiors of gas giants, like Jupiter, in mystery. Today’s authors set out to blow some of that mystery away. Using equations and modeling, they explore processes of heat transfer within the interiors of hot-start, core-accreting gas giants.
Making of an Active Galactic Nucleus
In light of new observations, the traditional dusty-torus picture of active galactic nuclei may need revision.
Waltz across Galactic Nuclei
Stars and gas waltz across galactic nuclei as star formation proceeds. Let’s see how well they dance!
Super Stars on Stage
Super star clusters are the superstars in astronomy. Do we know how they come to be?
Shedding Light on Galaxy Formation
Feedback processes, like supernova and AGN, are essential for accurately simulation galaxy formation and evolution. Today’s astrobite examines the role of radiation feedback in galaxy formation in new “radiation hydrodynamics” simulations of galaxies.
