The Need for (Sound) Speed
The fractal dimension as a new way to explore the mysterious link between turbulence and star formation.

A repeating, periodic FRB as been detected for the first time at frequencies almost low enough to tune into on an FM radio.
We discuss a new way to test the cosmological principle using X-ray studies of galaxy clusters in this Astrobite.
Fast radio bursts are one of the most interesting phenomena in the universe, but we still don’t know what causes them. Does FRB 181112 hold the key?
Voyager 2 finally crossed the heliopause, the edge of our solar system – so what’s out there?
Today’s paper investigates how shocks interact with isothermal, gaseous filaments in the interstellar medium. It reveals that the structure of the resulting wake is dependent on the speed of the shock and orientation, density, and length of the filament.
