Do neutrinos interACT? Looking for hints with the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT)
Today’s bite will discuss how we can use cosmological data to look for new kinds of interactions between neutrinos.
Quantum mechanics won’t let me have a black hole from light, even as a little treat
Today’s bite explains why we’re not very likely to see a black hole made from light–affectionately called a kugelblitz.
“Barbie” Breaks Another Record: ZTF20abrbeie is the most energetic optical transient observed so far
Supermassive black holes continue to surprise: a recent extragalactic explosion proved to be the most luminous optical transient we have observed so far. Read about “Scary Barbie” and a potential explanation for her origin!
Don’t Be So Cold – Self-Interacting Dark Matter as a Solution to the ‘Final Parsec Problem’
In today’s bite, we look at a paper that investigates if self-interacting dark matter can accelerate the inspiral of supermassive black holes binaries, and if we can detect this with gravitational waves.
