We cannot travel back in time, but we can still try to reconstruct how planets evolved from the clues they leave behind today. In this Astrobite, we explore how L 98-59 d’s atmosphere and interior models reveal a molten world still being reshaped by its host star.
Today we explore how Einstein Telescope might be the instrument to indirectly see (or hear..?) dark matter!
Today’s authors search for low frequency radio bursts following gamma-ray bursts to test its emission mechanism!
Some stars hide a strange ingredient in their atmospheres: the remains of a planet they devoured. It turns out to be more common than expected.
By measuring both the positions of stars and the times when pulsar pulses reach us, we might identify gravitational waves emitted by exotic processes right after the Big Bang.
The geologic carbon cycle has been an important tool for balancing carbon dioxide and stabilizing the climate of Earth over billions of years. The authors of today’s bite explore why dry planets may be missing this critical climate-stabilizing thermostat.
