A Machine Learning View of Supernova GWs
How does one measure the gravitational wave signal of a supernova if each event is unique? Is machine learning up to the task? Or is it unknowable?
How To Take Down A Satellite
Bright satellites have dire effects on the field of astronomy, indigenous religious practices life cycles, and our quality of living. Blue Walker 3 can outshine Venus in the night sky. AST plans to have 110 of these satellites by 2024.
Minutes after Death, Reincarnation Can Begin
The authors of today’s paper simulate in impeccable detail the first few minutes of a binary-driven hypernova (the brighter cousin of a supernova) while paying close attention to how the dynamics affect the companion neutron star. They predict several observables from the process, including what has been observed in the gamma ray burst event GRB 190829A.
The First Inference of A Magnetic Field Inside A Main Sequence Star
History has been made! The first magnetic field inside a main-sequence star has been measured!
“Space is Not Yet Declared an Environment”
As of right now, almost no legislation exists to regulate what private companies send to orbit. Without protective legislation in place, the preservation of our dark skies depends on the generosity of corporations. The sky belongs to all of us, it always has, but the rich and powerful are polluting it before the vast majority of us have a chance to look up.
