Sometimes You Do Have to Consider Them: Observing Magnetic Fields Using Pulsar Halos
Whether you like them or not, magnetic fields permeate the interstellar medium. Today’s paper outlines a novel way of observing them!
Spot the difference: eccentricity or precession
Don’t get bamboozled by this sneaky resemblance!
Black Holes Eating Stellar Shedding
Stars shed material as they shine, and today’s authors think this may be enough to power X-ray emission from a massive black hole!
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a runaway supermassive black hole!
Have we just discovered the first direct evidence of a runaway supermassive black hole?
Studying bubbles from the early Universe: an efficient matched filter approach
In today’s bite, we talk about how one can efficiently measure bubbles of ionized gas that signal the epoch of reionization (EoR).
Back for Seconds: Evidence of Two Bursts of Star Formation in an Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxy
Reticulum II? More like Reticulum TWO distinct periods of star formation! Or at least that’s what new spectroscopic observations incdicate.
