Running on empty: satellite galaxies lose their fuel easily
Today’s bite explores how a satellite galaxy can lose its fuel through ram pressure stripping when it falls into the orbit of a galaxy like the Milky Way.
Uncovering Precession for GW190521: How the Last Cycle Cracked the Case
Hidden in the final moments of the gravitational wave signal, a tiny detail holds powerful clues about how these massive black holes spiraled into each other and merged.

Meet the AAS Keynote Speakers: Dr. Catherine Espaillat
How do the protoplanetary disks around young pre-main sequence stars evolve into planetary systems? Come attend Dr. Catherine Espaillat’s plenary talk “From Disks to Planets: Observing Planet Formation in Disks Around Young Stars” at #AAS233 to know more!
Meet the AAS Keynote Speakers: Dr. Julianne Dalcanton
The Milky Way’s nearest neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy, is a promising target for deep multi-wavelength observations. Come listen to Prof. Julianne Dalcanton talk about her work catching up with the neighbor at #AAS233!
Meet the AAS Keynote Speakers: Dr. Caitlin Casey
Some galaxies are easy to find—others, like dusty galaxies with extreme star formation, are a bit harder to track down. Come to Professor Caitlin Casey’s #AAS233 talk to learn how we can find these galaxies in the “obscured early universe”!
