Bringing the Sun to Us
Today’s authors created a Sun-like plasma in a lab to study the Sun’s interior from Earth.
What can ionised bubbles tell us about the expansion of the universe?
Early galaxies create bubbles of ionised gas around them. Measuring their sizes could provide key insights into cosmology.
Don’t Like Your Neutrino Flavor? Transform It!
Neutron stars are some of the densest, most exotic objects in the universe. Today’s paper explores how simulating novel neutrino physics affects the outcome of neutron star mergers.
Throwing Shade: How Clumps of Dark Matter Can Dim Starlight
Today’s paper shows us how to repurpose microlensing surveys to study clumps of dark matter drifting through space.
Can black holes light up the high redshift Universe?
…and as a follow up, could they be a candidate for dark matter?
Part 3: Extended Physics Analyses with the DESI DR2 BAO
Today Astrobites is featuring results from the DESI DR2, published today in PRJ! In Part 3, we discuss 2 additional papers using the BAO measurement to perform additional analyses.
