When we don’t have spectra, we can estimate the distance to a quasar by calculating its photometric redshift. Today’s authors present a new way to use the ‘flickering’ of quasars to improve these distance estimates.
The Infinity Galaxy might be home to a newborn supermassive black hole that formed directly from a gas cloud instead of a star. Could this help reveal how these objects formed in the early universe?
How do you search through 99.6 million images for weird and interesting galaxies? Instead of wasting years of your life doing it manually, you can use AnomalyMatch.
Fostering public trust in science is essential for creating a stronger and more informed global society. As researchers and communicators, what can we do to help build this trust?
Most babies get lullabies, but some baby black holes might get strong kicks from their parent supernovae instead.
