Finding our Long-Lost Twins: Can JWST Distinguish Between other Earths… and other Venuses?

Finding our Long-Lost Twins: Can JWST Distinguish Between other Earths… and other Venuses?

by Aldo Panfichi | Jan 30, 2024 | Daily Paper Summaries

Venus may be quite similar in size and mass as Earth, but its surface conditions could not be any more different! Can a modern space telescope like JWST identify the difference between an exoEarth and an exoVenus?

Under (Magnetic) Arrest? Possible Evidence for a Previously-Theorized type of Black Hole Accretion Disk

Under (Magnetic) Arrest? Possible Evidence for a Previously-Theorized type of Black Hole Accretion Disk

by Aldo Panfichi | Nov 28, 2023 | Daily Paper Summaries

Today’s authors analyze the time delay between energetic flares coming from a black hole x-ray binary system, and try to determine if this is evidence of a magnetic process occuring in the accretion disk.

Signs of (Pre-)Life: Can JWST Detect Conditions for the Formation of Earth-like Life on Distant Planets?

Signs of (Pre-)Life: Can JWST Detect Conditions for the Formation of Earth-like Life on Distant Planets?

by Aldo Panfichi | Aug 19, 2023 | Daily Paper Summaries

Signs of life on other worlds might be detectable with today’s instruments – but can JWST detect the signs of conditions where life could form? Today’s authors try to answer this question.

Galactic Tails tell Galactic Tales – and this one is a Strange Tail Indeed

by Aldo Panfichi | Jul 12, 2023 | Daily Paper Summaries

Today’s authors discovered a very long, very odd galactic tail, and discuss what that means for its origin and for the history of the galax(ies) involved!

Galactic Evolution – Through the Lens of Oxygen?

Galactic Evolution – Through the Lens of Oxygen?

by Aldo Panfichi | May 30, 2023 | Daily Paper Summaries

In today’s paper, the authors describe and attempt a method to trace the evolution of our galaxy by comparing the ratio of oxygen isotopes in different regions of the Milky Way!
