When the Sky Isn’t the Limit: Simulations of Imaging a Black Hole from Space
Recently, the world saw the first-ever images of a black hole’s shadow. Future images could be sharper with space-based telescopes!
Testing Einstein’s Equivalence Principle by Timing a Pulsar in a Stellar Triple System
PSR J0337+1715, a millisecond pulsar in a hierarchical stellar triple system with two white dwarfs, provides a stringent test of gravity via Einstein’s strong equivalence principle!
A Shocking Model of FRBs
The astrophysical cause of fast radio bursts (FRBs) is unknown, but could their origins perhaps be… shocking?
Meet the AAS Keynote Speakers: Dr. Caitlin Casey
Some galaxies are easy to find—others, like dusty galaxies with extreme star formation, are a bit harder to track down. Come to Professor Caitlin Casey’s #AAS233 talk to learn how we can find these galaxies in the “obscured early universe”!
Black holes During the Cosmic Dawn
Black holes may seem large, but not compared to the scales we’ll talk about today.
Teaching Machines to find Fast Radio Bursts
Researchers send fast radio burst terminators back in time…kind of.
