There are some papers that present relations that are important enough to get their own names. This astrobite presents three relations that have a remarkable similar shape, namely the Faber-Jackson, Tully-Fisher and M-sigma relations.
The image of the protoplanetary disk around HL Tau illustrating ring structures triggered a huge “WOW!”. Read on and get convinced by recent observations of TW Hya that ring structures seem to be rule rather than the exception.
In the era of extremely large telescopes, let’s take look at the opposite end: the extremely little telescopes. KELT, or the Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope, is one of them.
Do predictions from classical disk theory work with state-of-the-art measurements?
Recently, several supernovae have been observed that do not fit in any of the known categories. These Calcium-rich supernovae are challenging to explain, but in this astrobite you read that they are likely the result of an expelled merger.
So you went observing, and you got a time series of images for precise photometry and you want to plot a light curve. Now what? Where do you start? Right here, with AstroImageJ.
