Both Pirouettes and Do-si-Dos: Why is there a bias in the black hole ballet?

Both Pirouettes and Do-si-Dos: Why is there a bias in the black hole ballet?

by Cole Meldorf | Sep 1, 2023 | Daily Paper Summaries

In this Astrobite, we look at black hole mergers in the accretion disks around supermassive black holes, because you can simply never have too many black holes!

What’s all that racket? Or: what’s behind the Gravitational Wave Background?

What’s all that racket? Or: what’s behind the Gravitational Wave Background?

by Cole Meldorf | Aug 3, 2023 | Daily Paper Summaries

In this Astrobite, we look at some of the potential sources of the newly discovered gravitational wave background. Supermassive Black Hole Binary mergers are believed to be the primary culprit, but several other fascinating phenomena could also be contributing.

Could spinning soup start starquakes and explain a magnetar mystery?

Could spinning soup start starquakes and explain a magnetar mystery?

by Cole Meldorf | May 8, 2023 | Daily Paper Summaries

Neutron stars likely contain a quark soup center, and the authors of today’s paper seek to see if the process of neutrons being crushed into this quark soup could explain the unexplained fast radio burst phenomenon.

Dark matter and Neutrinos walk into a (nano)bar(n); can we observe νDM interactions in the CMB?

Dark matter and Neutrinos walk into a (nano)bar(n); can we observe νDM interactions in the CMB?

by Cole Meldorf | Apr 8, 2023 | Daily Paper Summaries

Today’s Astrobite seeks evidence of hypothetical dark matter – neutrino interactions in the Cosmic Microwave Background, and considers what effects such an interaction would have on the Standard Model.

Cosmic Echolocation: A New Method to Measure Dark Matter with Gravitational Waves

Cosmic Echolocation: A New Method to Measure Dark Matter with Gravitational Waves

by Cole Meldorf | Jan 28, 2023 | Daily Paper Summaries

In this astrobite, astrophysicists use gravitational waves to “listen” for the presence of dark matter and infer its properties!
