This galaxy simulation can fit so many stars and gas particles in it
Simulating an entire galaxy is not easy if you want your result sometime this century. But today’s paper brings us a neat trick that might just help speed things up.
Smooth like cosmic butter: How AGN destroy molecular gas clumps in galactic nuclei
Today’s bite zooms in on nearby galaxies to understand how they impact future stellar nurseries and (maybe) suppress star formation.
Cosmic Dawn at the Galaxy Zoo
Citizen scientists can make important contributions to the study of galaxies (like the discovery of new gravitational lenses!), and their work can also be used to train better machine learning models.
Satellite constellations will harm Rubin LSST science. What can we do?
Astronomers (and one SpaceX engineer) met at a three-day workshop to figure out how to prevent satellites from obstructing LSST science.
Astronomers Hate Them! This Star Formation Ingredient Makes Clusters Look 300 Million Years Older
Like a bouncer at a nightclub, JWST is trying to figure out if some star clusters are really as old as they say they are …
Three Supermassive Black Holes for the Price of One in the Early Universe
Today’s paper looks at a gaalxy hosting not one…not two…but three potential supermassive black holes!
