Judging a red supergiant book by its cover
What does the surface of a red supergiant star look like? It’s no polarising statement to say that it has more in common with a pot of bubbling soup than you might think!
When Galaxies Get Clumpy: JWST Maps the Birth and Death of Star-Forming Clumps
You think stars form quietly? Think again. In the early universe, galaxies were packed with star-forming clumps. Some disrupted quickly, while others survived. Today’s paper reveals which lived and which died young.
Studying Galaxy Cluster Magnetic Fields with the Gradient Technique
In today’s paper, the authors use their Gradient Technique to estimate the plane of sky magnetic fields in several bright clusters.
Twinkle, twinkle, little quasar! Can you tell me how far away you are?
When we don’t have spectra, we can estimate the distance to a quasar by calculating its photometric redshift. Today’s authors present a new way to use the ‘flickering’ of quasars to improve these distance estimates.
Do You Have This Andromeda Galaxy in Extra-Extra-Extra Small?
It’s an itty bitty teeny weeny ultra faint dwarf galaxy-ni! Today’s bite talks about the discovery of the faintest galaxy in the Andromeda system!
Outflows, Shocks, and Star Formation in M82
Today’s authors look at the impact of galactic outflows on the formation of stars in M82!
