Black Holes Grow Better With A Friend
Observations of dwarf galaxies, similar to early universe galaxies, show that a buddy galaxy can help trigger phases of rapid growth. That’s the power of friendship!
2 Fast 2 Furious (for an AGN flare)
Today’s authors take a look at (possibly) the brightest flare from a supermassive black hole that we’ve ever seen!
Big Black Holes in Little Galaxies
Active galactic nuclei are commonly observed in large galaxies, but what about small galaxies? Today’s paper explores the effects of the universe’s largest and loudest black holes in the universe’s smallest galaxies.
Meet the AAS Keynote Speakers: Prof. John Peacock
We interview the RAS Gold Medal Lecturer for AAS244, Prof. John Peacock!
Catching a gamma-ray flare with the Event Horizon Telescope & friends
We have a new EHT image of a supermassive black hole, but that’s not all! Today’s paper gives us a multiwavelength view of M87 during a gamma-ray flare.
Galactic Renaissance: A Surge in Star Formation During the Evolution of Galactic Collisions
Galaxy mergers represent a transformative evolutionary path, inducing notable morphological and compositional changes in the involved galaxies. The alterations in the intrinsic characteristics during these collisions serve as a crucial probe, providing insights into the real-time occurrence of such processes.
