In today’s bite, we look at a new approach to modelling the expansion rate of the Universe, in a way that takes into account how growing structures like voids or haloes in the Universe impact this.
How are some of the heaviest elements on the periodic table created? Today’s authors look at how mergers between black holes and neutron stars could form these heavy metals!
Today’s paper showcases the performances of new kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) that will enable observations of infrared and millimeter light that have the potential to advance various areas of astronomy and cosmology.
Pulsars may hold the secret to physics beyond the Standard Model. Find out how in today’s Bite!
The authors of today’s paper determine if current and next generation telescopes can be used as thermometers to detect cooling neutron stars!
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?
