A distant solar system object that makes stars “disappear”!
A remote object on the edge of our solar system made a star “disappear”! But while it obscured the star, it was also revealing information about itself!
Hearing Gravitational Waves with Deep Learning
Today’s guest post by Paolo Cremonese explores the application of deep learning methods to the search for gravitational waves.
Searching for planets that formed a long time ago in a galaxy not so far away
So far, astronomers have no confirmed detections of planets outside our Galaxy. Today’s paper searches for planets of extragalactic origin, from a dwarf galaxy that has since merged into the Milky Way halo.
Deaf Astronomers Throughout History
Disabled astronomers have been present throughout history, despite facing an incredible amount of challenges. Today, we’re sharing the stories of six d/Deaf astronomers who made incredible contributions to the field in the past two centuries.
Defining Gravity: Can Wide Binaries be a Definitive Test of Modified Newtonian Gravity Theories?
Today’s paper posits that precise observations of wide binaries can be used, in conjunction with simulations, to test the validity of modified gravity theories!
