A Windy Day in the Milky Way
Feedback from star clusters can have a major effect on the surrounding gas. Today’s paper investigates whether star clusters can also drive turbulence and what that means for our understanding of stellar feedback.
Do Aluminum Abundances Foil Our Theory of Galaxy Evolution?
Aluminum can be used for so much more than foil. What can it tell us about our solar system’s place in the galaxy? Read about today’s paper to find out more.

Shaken, Not Stirred: Subgrid Metal Diffusion in Galaxy Simulations
A lot of physics happens below the resolution limit of galaxy simulations that must be represented with “subgrid” models. Today’s paper shows the importance of including a subgrid model for the mixing of metals in galaxy simulations.
