A Shocking Model of FRBs
The astrophysical cause of fast radio bursts (FRBs) is unknown, but could their origins perhaps be… shocking?
Astrobites at AAS 233: Day 3
We report on Day 3 of the winter AAS meeting in Seattle, WA. Highlights include updates in X-ray astronomy, the discovery of a second repeating FRB, an exploration of astrochemistry in planet-forming disks, and a look at the 2020 Astronomy Decadal Survey.
Astrobites at AAS 231: Day 2
We report on Day 2 of the winter AAS meeting in National Harbor, MD. Highlights include an exciting update on the repeating fast radio burst, a look at the evolution of galaxy clusters and what’s between them, and a summary of the state of gravitational-wave astronomy.
Meet the AAS Keynote Speakers: Lawrence Rudnick
Outreach extraordinaire, Lawrence Rudnick, employs both radio and x-rays to investigate the dynamics of the intercluster medium. Be sure to read this interview before his plenary talk at #AAS231 on Wednesday!
A Counterpart for Fast Radio Bursts
Has a counterpart finally been detected for the ever-elusive fast radio bursts that have been detected outside of our Galaxy? Well, that’s a tricky question…
