Neutrinos and Natal Kicks in the Inert Black Hole Binary VFTS 243
Today’s paper delves into the inert black hole binary VFTS 243 and what it can tell us about stellar death.
Jupiter as a Dark Matter Detector
Although dark matter makes up over 80% of the total matter content of the Universe, we have yet to detect it. Today’s author’s bring a new approach to the search effort that uses Jupiter as a dark matter detector.
Black Hole, Why Don’t You Come Over? White Dwarf Supernova!
The origin of dim supernovae known as Ca-rich transients is still not well-understood. Could it be that these rare events are set off by an encounter between a white dwarf and a primordial black hole?
Don’t disturb the baby! A black hole discovered to be born quietly
This black hole could have been born without any bright supernova explosion, emitting nothing but a few neutrinos in its formation. Find out how we can tell in today’s paper!
Freshly Baked Dark Matter Search Results from BREAD
Check out the fresh BREAD results! Researchers show that the innovative design of the Broadband Experiment for Axion Detection could pave a promising path forward in the search for dark matter.
How do Merger Environments Affect Gravitational Waves?
