Going with the Tide: Does tidal dissipation play an important role in stellar/black hole mergers?

Going with the Tide: Does tidal dissipation play an important role in stellar/black hole mergers?

by Aldo Panfichi | Mar 24, 2022 | Daily Paper Summaries

In today’s paper: how does tidal dissipation and gravitational wave emission affect the result of encounters between stars and black hole binaries in stellar clusters?

HEAVY, BUT NOT METAL: Could Metal-Free Stars be the Source of Massive Black Hole Mergers?

HEAVY, BUT NOT METAL: Could Metal-Free Stars be the Source of Massive Black Hole Mergers?

by Aldo Panfichi | Mar 12, 2022 | Daily Paper Summaries

In today’s paper, the authors test the theory that the earliest, metal-poorest stars are the primary source of binary black hole mergers.

Aluminum in Action: Are Rockier Exoplanets More Common than We Think?

Aluminum in Action: Are Rockier Exoplanets More Common than We Think?

by Aldo Panfichi | Jan 24, 2022 | Daily Paper Summaries

It is theorized that the radioactive decay of Aluminum-26 could provide enough heat to dehydrate terrestrial planetesimals as they form, leading to rockier exoplanets. But is this effect significant enough to alter how common we believe rocky exoplanets are in the Galaxy? Find out by reading today’s bite!
