Attacking the (Multi-)Messenger: Simulating a Kilonova
Neutron stars (NSs) are the most extreme objects known, composed of a form of matter so extraordinarily dense that it teeters on the brink of collapse into a black hole.
Could Merging Black Holes Wakeboard on Dark Matter?
In this Astrobite, the authors study the effects of dark matter on merging black hole binaries. As the black holes move through dark matter, they form wakes that slow them down, could this affect the gravitational waves released?
Scoring GOALS with Neutrinos from Starbursts
What do neutrinos and soccer games have in common? Check out today’s bite to see! Spoiler: starbursts lose the neutrino production game!
How to Find Supermassive Black Hole Binaries in Pulsar Timing Array data without the Pulsars
Pulsar timing arrays could localise individual sources of gravitational waves to host galaxies. The problem is, it’s so computationally difficult! This paper shows us a faster way.
Deciphering the Milky Way’s neutrino blobs
Today’s authors look for the origin of the blobby neutrino emission IceCube sees in the Milky Way!
Cosmic Inconsistencies: JWST Anomalies and HST Perspectives
Today’s paper challenges the modifications suggested for the cosmological model as the solution to explain the anomalies observed in JWST.
