The Search for Black Hole Teenagers
The discovery of medium-sized black holes allow us to trace the history of the giant black holes in the center of galaxies.
Mixing up a Batch of Stars
We can learn a lot about the history of the universe from the stars we see in the night sky today. In today’s astrobite, we look at the history that certain carbon-enhanced, metal-poor stars might be trying to tell.
Feeding black holes, up close and personal
Do we really understand how black holes grow? Using new methods to run high resolution simulations, the authors of this paper investigate the evolution of gas near a supermassive black hole – and their results have serious implications for the models commonly used in cosmological simulations.
Black holes During the Cosmic Dawn
Black holes may seem large, but not compared to the scales we’ll talk about today.
How to Diagnose the Light from Early Galaxies
Understanding the physics of a certain emission line will allow astronomers to study galaxies that existed a long time ago far, far away.
Glimpsing the fingerprints of gravitational waves in the early universe
Scientists can use neural networks to glimpse gravitational wave fluctuations from the early universe.
