Galaxy collisions and star-formation: a surprising causal examination
The longstanding role of galaxy mergers as drivers of star-formation is brought into question
Ghosts of Spiral Arms Past
A study of star clusters in the Milky Way has uncovered a peculiar trend in the way they are arranged.
Is That a Supernova? Classifying Transients in Real-Time with Machine Learning
A neural network enables transient classification with ongoing observations, potentially providing astronomers with more time to study the transient while it is still occurring.
Teaching Machines to find Fast Radio Bursts
Researchers send fast radio burst terminators back in time…kind of.
Creating a more general deep learning algorithm for galaxies
A team was able to use deep learning algorithms to analyze a massive galaxy survey. Can the same algorithm be used on an entirely new survey?
Teaching Computers to Find Non-Transiting Hot Jupiters
Planets that do not transit are very difficult for Kepler to find. The authors of today’s paper are not intimidated by that and find 60 non-transiting Hot Jupiters unknowingly detected by Kepler anyway.
