Astrobites at AAS 235: Day 4
We report on Day 4 of the winter AAS meeting in Honolulu, HI.
The Hidden Mechanism of Quasar Feedback
Galactic winds shed new light on an otherwise invisible mechanism at the heart of massive galaxies.
The Imprint of an Invisible Giant
Most Jupiter-like exoplanets go undetected. But do they leave a mark on the more easily detectable inner terrestrial worlds?
Unraveling the Formation History of Hot Jupiters
The key to understanding how these worlds are built is to consider where they are missing.
Traits of Accreting Galaxies
Observations from the MaNGA survey help to answer the question: What are the features of a galaxy that appears to have undergone recent gas accretion?
Feeding black holes, up close and personal
Do we really understand how black holes grow? Using new methods to run high resolution simulations, the authors of this paper investigate the evolution of gas near a supermassive black hole – and their results have serious implications for the models commonly used in cosmological simulations.
