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!
Did this supermassive black hole form from the collapse of a giant gas cloud?
The Infinity Galaxy might be home to a newborn supermassive black hole that formed directly from a gas cloud instead of a star. Could this help reveal how these objects formed in the early universe?
Hula Hooping with the Stars
JWST liked it so much it put two rings on it: a pair of dying stars dance at the heart of this spectacular nebula that is enriching the Galaxy.
