A Rad(iation) Belt Around an Ultracool Dwarf
Ultracool dwarfs seem to fill a transition regime between brown dwarfs and stars. High precision observations of the ultracool dwarf J1835+3259 suggests its emission might be even more planet-like than originally thought.
A Fast Radio Burst in a Rather Peculiar Location
Today’s authors study an FRB in the M81 galaxy. Read on for what they find (spoiler: it’s not what we would expect!).
UR #26: Measuring the Radio Corona of Young M Dwarf Stars
Today’s undergraduate research post features a student who used radio images of red dwarf stars to tease out clues about the particle acceleration in their coronae.
Tuning in to Reveal Stellar Wobbles
Today’s bite details only the second astrometric detection of a planet candidate and the first using radio interferometry.
When the Sky Isn’t the Limit: Simulations of Imaging a Black Hole from Space
Recently, the world saw the first-ever images of a black hole’s shadow. Future images could be sharper with space-based telescopes!
