Heavy-metal Jupiters
Violent collisions give rise to some of the densest, most massive planets in our galaxy.
Meet the AAS Keynote Speakers: Dr. Christy Tremonti
What’s even faster and more furious than Vin Diesel? Come learn about galactic winds at Dr. Christy Tremonti’s talk at #AAS236!
A Stellar M-SFR-Z Relation MOSt DEFinitely Exists at z~2.3
Is there a M∗-SFR-Z relation at high redshift? Yep! Read me to find how it was discovered!
Shaken, Not Stirred: Subgrid Metal Diffusion in Galaxy Simulations
A lot of physics happens below the resolution limit of galaxy simulations that must be represented with “subgrid” models. Today’s paper shows the importance of including a subgrid model for the mixing of metals in galaxy simulations.
Good Luck Sorting This Hat
Sorting the Sombrero galaxy into a galaxy classification is difficult to do, but new evidence suggests that like Harry Potter, the Sombrero galaxy may fit into more than one category.
Understanding Dwarf Galaxies with a Heart of Steel
Hydrodynamical simulations shed new light on the metallicity of stellar populations in dwarf galaxies.
