The Faintest Galaxy in the Sky Is Helping Us Understand What We Can’t See
Segue 1 is one of the most diffuse galaxies we’ve ever detected. Is it the remnants of a larger galaxy? And can astronomers use it to understand dark matter?
Watch out! There’s double-faced white dwarfs about
How can one white dwarf have two different atmospheres? Today’s authors investigate the wacky behavior of ZTF J2033 to find out.
A Galaxy Lost in the Gamma-Ray Sauce
We’re still trying to understand what caused the emission seen in the Fermi Bubbles, massive lobes of gamma rays extending out of the Milky Way. Today’s authors argue that one of the Milky Way’s satellite galaxies is probably not an ingredient!
Exploring the Slower Side of Neutron Star Bow Shocks
Today’s paper took a closer look at the properties of three neutron star bow shocks in unprecedented detail, revealing new insights into the hidden physics behind these cosmic collisions.
Mind Your Metals (especially when modeling the collapse of super massive stars into black holes)
Today we’re talking about metals meddling in collapsing super massive star models!
