Searching for stars at the beginning of the Universe
We may or may not be able to observe the first stars directly, but today’s authors show that’s not the only way to learn about them!

Today’s authors find one of the highest energy cosmic rays ever detected!
In the latest of our #UndergradResearch series, discover how Saurav Ruparelia studied stellar light curves to find extremely low-mass stellar remnants.
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!
