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.
The Oldest Starlight
What if some of JWST’s most extreme high-redshift galaxy candidates aren’t galaxies at all, but the explosive deaths of the very first stars?
Global Calm, Local Chaos: How AGN-Driven Cosmic Rays Reshape Galaxies from the Inside
Massive galaxies all seem to end up quiet and quenched—but the physics inside them can look wildly different. This story explores how AGN-driven cosmic rays reshape galaxies from the inside out, changing local conditions without altering their ultimate fate.
