Today’s authors analyze the time delay between energetic flares coming from a black hole x-ray binary system, and try to determine if this is evidence of a magnetic process occuring in the accretion disk.
Plasma jets, emerging from a galaxy’s central black hole, sometimes bend in the same direction, forming head-tail structures. A recent study investigated two such galaxies found in unexpectedly close proximity, resembling a peculiar ‘dancing ghost’-like structure in the sky.
What happens when supernova remnants interact with the surrounding environment? The authors of today’s paper use the X-rays from RCW 86 to try and find out!
Did a galaxy ever lie to you? Likely not. But they can be crooked on a whole other level. In today’s bite, find out how the authors found a way to exploit the galaxy’s skewness to their advantage.
An astronomer and a galaxy walk into a carnival stand… check out today’s bite to see how this one ends!
In today’s addition to our Undergrad Research series, a collaboration of students presents their guide to reducing JWST NIRSpec IFU data.
