Studying dwarf galaxies provides unique insights to galaxy evolution. Today’s paper explores how resolving stellar populations of isolated galaxies allows us to determine their star formation history!
This ancient black hole is far too massive for its galaxy. Thirteen billion years later, it might still be haunting us.
Half of all stars are in binaries. Stars that end their lives as the most massive white dwarfs often also have another distant star orbiting an inner binary. Could these tertiary stars play a role in merging the inner binaries into remnant objects that emit fast radio bursts?
In February 2023, the KM3NeT underwater observatory observed the highest-energy neutrino ever detected. Did it come from a dying primordial black hole?
Just when you think exoplanet demographics can’t get any weirder, this thing shows up. A hot Jupiter with a thing for carbon that may have been a star but now lives with a dead one. Confused? Read today’s bite.
Today’s bite zooms in on nearby galaxies to understand how they impact future stellar nurseries and (maybe) suppress star formation.
