INTEGRAL: an integral key to high energy astronomy
INTEGRAL changed our understanding of X-ray binaries, and taught us so much about our galactic home. Here’s a brief look, in awe and gratitude.
Some “not so fast” fast radio bursts
Today’s authors find some slow (relatively speaking) fast radio bursts. Read on to learn what this means for the fast radio burst population!
How to Be a Human Being: a Lesson I Learned from the South Side Science Festival
At the University of Chicago’s first annual South Side Science Festival, I learned that everyone has the skills to be successful at public outreach. All you need is a little creativity, personality, and passion.
Could Stripped Stars be False Positives in the Search for the Missing Black Holes?
The authors of today’s article argue that stripped B-type stars could be a source of false positives in the search for quiet, stellar-mass black holes in the Milky Way
Defining Gravity: Can Wide Binaries be a Definitive Test of Modified Newtonian Gravity Theories?
Today’s paper posits that precise observations of wide binaries can be used, in conjunction with simulations, to test the validity of modified gravity theories!
The First Inference of A Magnetic Field Inside A Main Sequence Star
History has been made! The first magnetic field inside a main-sequence star has been measured!
