All-sky spectroscopy with SDSS-V
A spectrum is worth a thousand pictures. But all-sky spectra? Well, I bet they are worth many many thousands of pictures — introducing SDSS-V.
Radio Images of a Nearby, Ghostly Globule
A ghostly plasma lens occulting QSR J1819+3845 has been imaged directly at radio wavelengths. What can we learn about this strange interloper? (Image: unrelated observation of solar activity resembling a jack-o’-lantern, courtesy NASA/GSFC/SDO)
Meet the Keynote Speakers: Laura Lopez
Prof. Laura Lopez’s work bridges many gaps: between theory and observation, across the electromagnetic spectrum, and from beginning to end of stellar lives.
Dust and the Occult
Pairs of occulting galaxies allow for the dust in galaxies to be mapped very accurately and give insight into the attenuation law in the outskirts of galaxies.
Grand Fireworks from the Local Super-Bubble
A cosmic orchestra of nearby supernova explosions created the ‘Local Bubble’ all around us. Could these stellar super-bombs have influenced Earth’s climate and even human evolution?
The Brightest Hot DOG in the Universe
What makes up the innards of the brightest galaxy in the universe?
