Cellular automata earn their (magnetar) crust
Cellular automata may be *crust* what we need to understand the properties of magnetars.
All in all, it’s just another brick in the mass function
Do you like LEGOs? Do you like power laws? If you answered yes to both (which, if you’re an astronomer, you most likely did), then you’re in luck — today’s authors demonstrate how to use LEGOs to teach about power laws and mass functions!
Some Constructive Feedback on Feedback Models
For the first time, astronomers have detected the hot, diffuse circumgalactic medium — a perfect testbed for models of galactic feedback. So, how do our current models stack up against the new data?
A Gamma-Ray Blast from the Distant Past
GRB 210905A is one of the longest, most distant, most energetic, and most luminous gamma-ray bursts that we’ve ever detected. What can we learn from this outstanding outburst?
An Intracluster Investigation via Radio Rotation
How have magnetic fields in galaxy clusters evolved throughout cosmic history, and what can these fields tell us about magnetism in the early Universe? Thanks to a few tricks from radio astronomy, today’s authors have some answers.
