Can we identify the host galaxies of LISA sources?
The upcoming LISA mission promises to detect many gravitational wave events, but can it attribute any of them to a host galaxy? Let’s find out!
Tracing Star Fuel in the Universe’s Smallest Galaxies
It’s really hard to see molecular hydrogen (the fuel that makes stars) directly, so astronomers have to use other spectral lines to guess how much is there. In today’s paper, the authors discuss how to do that in the smallest galaxies in the universe!
A Sky Full of Stars: Stellar Populations with the JWST
In today’s post, we get a first look at resolved stellar populations with the JWST.
Uh oh, some Black Holes are experiencing Middle Child Syndrome!
Find out which ones and what the authors of today’s paper do to help!
Six tiny galaxies discovered right on our doorstep
Some of the smallest galaxies we know of live right next door to the Milky Way — but we’ve only just found them!
Tracing back the origin of Globular Clusters in the Milky Way
See how astronomers rewind the orbits of Galactic Globular Clusters and find out where they came from!
