Clearing up our FOGGIE Understanding of how UVB Models Affect Circumgalactic Medium Absorbers
Today’s paper explores how ionization from different UVB models affects mock observations from simulations of the Circumgalactic Medium.
UR: Infrared Spectrum: Probing for life beyond the visible
In the latest of our #UndergradResearch series, discover how Diya Talesara uses IR spectroscopy to study biosignatures in exoplanet data.
Bumpy road ahead: can binary interactions make supernovae periodically brighter?
Some supernovae have bumpy light curves – could a baby neutron star repeatedly diving into the envelope of its inflated companion be the cause? Today’s authors simulate this to find out!
Galactic Smashes and Stellar Crashes: Forming Dense Star Clusters
You know the saying: “when gas-rich galaxies collide, young massive star clusters will soon reside” … well maybe you’ll know the saying after reading this astrobite!
Kickin’ It Into Overdrive With Stellar Escapees
Follow along as we zoom through the stars with these hypervelocity stellar survivors and uncover their explosive origins.
We’ve been trying to reach you about your leaky dust trap’s extended warranty
Planets are supposed to be effective at blocking the radial drift of icy pebbles around nascent stars forming planets – but the young planets around PDS 70 don’t appear to be doing a very good job…
