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!
A Galaxy Lost in the Gamma-Ray Sauce
We’re still trying to understand what caused the emission seen in the Fermi Bubbles, massive lobes of gamma rays extending out of the Milky Way. Today’s authors argue that one of the Milky Way’s satellite galaxies is probably not an ingredient!
Blowout: AGNs Quenching Star Formation in Dwarf Galaxies
Astronomers tackle a big question regarding some of the smallest galaxies: how do massive black holes at their centers affect star formation?
What’s growing inside out and red all over? Little Red Dots!
Lurking behind a thick red blanket of gas, supermassive black holes are rapidly growing in very compact galaxies known as Little Red Dots, and they may hold some of the secrets of galaxy evolution.
Evidence for Rrrrr-process from Neutron Star Mergers in Dwarf Galaxies
Ahoy matey! Today’s post explores the formation of rrrrrrr-process elements through short gamma ray bursts in dwarf galaxies.
A lonely little galaxy at the edge of our neighborhood
Today’s authors use machine learning to discover a lone wolf on the edge of the Milky Way’s neighborhood.
