What exactly is happening during a gamma-ray burst? Maybe, the lowest frequency radio observations have the answer!
Today’s authors search for low frequency radio bursts following gamma-ray bursts to test its emission mechanism!
Guest: The closest look into the largest nearby cosmic structures: a foray into the Fornax galaxy cluster
Galaxy clusters are collections of galaxies that are bound together by gravity. They are the largest structures that exist in our Universe, and their mass is dominated by the hot gas that lies between galaxies called the intracluster medium. One of the closest galaxy clusters is Fornax, and it was recently studied in detail using the MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa. This bite dives deep into a study of the magnetic field of this cluster and the implications the results have of our understanding of clusters of galaxies.
Stay tuned to Radio YZ Ceti: Isn’t that a magnetic conversation between star and planet?
Astronomers have tuned their radio telescopes to YZ Ceti, and it might be crackling with a magnetic conversation of a star and its planet. Is this a breakthrough detection, or just stellar noise playing tricks on us?
Studying bubbles from the early Universe: an efficient matched filter approach
In today’s bite, we talk about how one can efficiently measure bubbles of ionized gas that signal the epoch of reionization (EoR).
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a neutrino observatory calibration source!

This particle only very rarely interacts with other matter, so it can travel far across...
Smooth like cosmic butter: How AGN destroy molecular gas clumps in galactic nuclei
Today’s bite zooms in on nearby galaxies to understand how they impact future stellar nurseries and (maybe) suppress star formation.
