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!
These stars are never ever getting back together!
Happy Red’s release week, swifties! Today we discuss a paper about RED giants, and how you can tell if they had undergone a merger or not!
Planets go “weeee!”
When planets form, where should they move? Towards their host star? In the other direction? The authors of today’s paper show that this is not obvious!
