Can we perform a Supernova Autopsy Via Gravitational Waves?
In this Astrobite, the authors try to solve the mystery of what happens to the corpse of a supernova post-explosion: black hole or neutron star?
Looking for Supermassive Black Holes
The amplitude of the gravitational wave background is too high for the number of supermassive black holes that we’ve observed! Find out how we can resolve this issue in today’s bite
Does dark matter play a role in the origin story of supermassive black holes?
Find out in today’s bite if dark matter has any role in the formation of supermassive black holes!
The explodability criterion: How to make a star go supernova
Today’s authors present some new insights into how stars explode!
Mind Your Metals (especially when modeling the collapse of super massive stars into black holes)
Today we’re talking about metals meddling in collapsing super massive star models!
Double the scattering, double the fun!
In today’s bite, we discuss whether scattering from the X-ray corona impacts measurements of black hole spin!
