The Life Cycles of Dust Grains
Dust grains play an important in many facets of astrophysics. See how their lives are revealed in realistic simulations for the first time!
The Hierarchical World of Star Formation
Star clusters may form in a similar way to the hierarchical formation of galaxies, let’s find out how it works!
Making of an Active Galactic Nucleus
In light of new observations, the traditional dusty-torus picture of active galactic nuclei may need revision.
Teaching Computers How Galaxies Form
After learning about galaxy formation, computers can imitate millions of hours of calculations in just a few minutes.
The Power of the Dark Side
What if I told you it was true? All of it.
Cosmic Rays Make for Windy Galaxies
The energy injected into galaxies from dying stars through supernovae plays an important role in how they evolve in a process known as feedback. However, cosmic rays generated by supernovae may be equally important in constructing a complete picture of galaxy evolution. The authors of today’s astrobite investigate this by producing hydrodynamics simulations including supernovae, cosmic rays, and magnetic fields.
