Pulling Back the Curtain on the Formation of the First Supermassive Black Holes
How do supermassive black holes get to be so supermassive? Today’s authors explore how we might be able to answer that question with the SKA pulsar timing array!
Adding Gal-ax-ies, It’s Easy as One-Two-Three
Adding galaxies to dark matter simulations might be easier than you thought – today’s authors present a new method to generate synthetic data from relatively low-resolution DM simulations!
(almost) No Time (for stars) to Die
How long does it take for a star’s core to collapse in a supernova explosion? Today’s authors use observations to place new constraints on the explosion timescale!
Meet the AAS Keynote Speakers: Prof. Victoria Kaspi and Dr. Paul Scholz
We sit down with Professor Vicky Kaspi and Dr. Paul Scholz, plenary speakers at #AAS240, to hear about their work studying fast radio bursts with the CHIME telescope!
A Missing Link Between High-Redshift Galaxies and Quasars
Where do quasars come from? Today’s authors report a new observation that helps shed light on this mystery!
