Do X-Rays Help or Hurt Massive Black Hole Formation?
How were the first massive black holes impacted by environmental factors like X-rays? Today’s authors explore this and more!
Why is there more matter than antimatter? Gravitational waves may help us find the answer
In today’s astrobite, we talk about how gravitational waves could provide insight on particle physics, events in the early Universe, and even matter and antimatter asymmetry.
What if we put more Helium in Stars? It’s not just a question for birthday parties.
Today’s bite considers how helium can help boost brightness in the UV region of a galaxy’s spectrum.
A Universal Accounting Problem: Tension in Reionization Estimates
Recent findings from JWST are challenging our understanding of how galaxies made the universe largely transparent. How can we further improve our models of this era in the universe’s history?
Unsure if it is a really massive black hole? Take an X-ray scan!
Are these little red galaxies hosting supermassive black holes? Take an X-ray look at them to find out!
Too Many Stars, Too Fast?
Today’s bite talks about an interesting class of galaxies that may be forming an unthinkable amount of stars super early in the universe.
