There’s a space race that can last hundreds of millions of years: the race for two black holes to merge. Find out how we can use the gravitational wave background as our stopwatchin today’s bite!
There is a tradition in Astronomy to post silly science papers to the arXiv on Aprils Fools day. We’ve collected them all for 2024 and provided some “peer review”
Astronomers use pulsating stars to look for stellar halos around ultra-faint dwarf galaxies, some of the smallest galaxies in the universe.
In today’s paper, the authors use eROSITA to assemble a sample of the beautiful blow-outs that can occur in galaxies when AGN turn on.
In today’s bite, the authors combine two types of simulations to better understand how intermediate-mass black holes might form in dense nuclear star clusters.
The authors of today’s papers investigate whether photoevaporation or core-powered mass loss is the more likely culprit for the exoplanet radius gap.
