Testing cosmology with galaxy motions: what we can learn from measurements of the bulk flow
In today’s Astrobite, we discuss how the motions of galaxies may indicate the presence of large structures in the nearby Universe and put the Lambda-CDM model to the test.
Connections Between X-Ray and Neutrino Emission?
Today’s authors investigate how the physics in the extreme environments in the centers of galaxies leads to connections between X-rays and ghostly particles called neutrinos!
The First Semester as Faculty: Interview with Professor Jiayin Dong
I sat down with the newest astronomy professor at UIUC to ask about her first semester as a faculty member and how she made the transition to a permanent position.
Observing the End of Star Formation in Galaxies
These galaxies are on the brink of entering their “quiet” phase.
Cosmic Dawn at the Galaxy Zoo
Citizen scientists can make important contributions to the study of galaxies (like the discovery of new gravitational lenses!), and their work can also be used to train better machine learning models.

#BlackInAstro Experiences: Dr. Gibor Basri
As part of our #BlackInAstro series for Black History Month, we interview Dr. Gibor Basri, a pioneer in stellar astronomy (one of the discoverers of brown dwarfs) and the founding Vice Chancellor for Equity and Inclusion at UC Berkeley!
#BlackInAstro Experiences: Christian Aganze
As part of our #BlackInAstro series for Black History Month, we interview Christian Aganze, an astrophysics PhD student at UC San Diego who studies brown dwarfs!
Astrobiter: Huei Sears
If I had a nickel for every time my advisor transferred universities, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
