The explodability criterion: How to make a star go supernova
Today’s authors present some new insights into how stars explode!
Mind Your Metals (especially when modeling the collapse of super massive stars into black holes)
Today we’re talking about metals meddling in collapsing super massive star models!
Double the scattering, double the fun!
In today’s bite, we discuss whether scattering from the X-ray corona impacts measurements of black hole spin!
Remember me? The impact of Gravitational Wave “Memory” on the Cosmic Microwave Background
In this Astrobite, we see if a phenomenon called gravitational wave memory can leave a noticeable imprint on the CMB!
Quantum mechanics won’t let me have a black hole from light, even as a little treat
Today’s bite explains why we’re not very likely to see a black hole made from light–affectionately called a kugelblitz.
Don’t Be So Cold – Self-Interacting Dark Matter as a Solution to the ‘Final Parsec Problem’
In today’s bite, we look at a paper that investigates if self-interacting dark matter can accelerate the inspiral of supermassive black holes binaries, and if we can detect this with gravitational waves.
