UR: Unraveling astroecology: when astrobiology meets ecology
As part of our Undergraduate Research series, Juliana Meurer discusses her research combining astronomy, biology, and ecology!
Simulations of Turbulence in Black Hole Coronae
In today’s bite, the authors use simulations to explore turbulence a possible mechanism for the observed x-ray emissions in the coronae of black holes.
Who’s in the Driver’s Seat? Understanding the factors that drive the chemical evolution of galaxies
Over time, the universe evolved from a primordial soup of hydrogen and helium into the metal-rich environments of today. How exactly does the chemistry of galaxies evolve, and what processes drive this evolution?
Are Astronomy 101 Students Flat-Universers?
Today’s paper ventures into the realm of Astronomy Education Research, unpacking how students in ASTRO 101 courses think about the shape of the universe.
I (exoplanet HR 5183 b) came in like a wrecking ball
Everyone wants to find a habitable planet. The authors of today’s paper make a compelling case that the HR 5183 system is not the best place to look.
Tag you’re it!
Chemical tagging is the idea that using the chemistry of stars we can reconstruct their birth clusters. But can it actually be done?
