Tell me the velocity of a star without telling me its velocity
Stars like hiding their ages! In today’s paper, the authors inferred velocities of thousands of stars, which will help to determine their ages!
Women in Astronomy: Dr. Ann-Marie Madigan
In today’s post, we interviewed Dr. Ann-Marie Madigan, an Assistant Professor at CU Boulder about her accomplishments & her journey in astronomy.
A home has secrets too…
We don’t talk about accretion disks enough, but they hide so much physics in them! The authors of today’s paper try to understand which physical effect wins in circumbinary disks!
The Astrobites Climate Change Series: A Way to Connect Physics And Climate Change
Maybe physics in high school should not be abstract? Maybe we should discuss climate change in schools?
Do black holes hug each other in AGN disks?
Thanks to gravitational waves, we have detections of black holes mergers. Now imagine they are embedded in AGN disks, can you guess what’s going to happen to them? The authors of today’s paper can tell you if your guess was correct!
