A Repeating FRB
Mysterious, brief bursts of radio have been detected many times from what looks to be the same source for the first time.
Looking at Celestial Hot DOGs in the Microwave
These hot galaxies show signs of AGN and starburst activity occurring within their dusty interiors.
An Explosive Signature of Galaxy Collisions
Astronomers have known for a while that GRBs are sign-posts to galaxies which are forming lots of stars. But today’s paper used radio observations of the gas to connect that star formation to a recent merger.
Drones: Radio’s best calibrators?
Recently we have been finding some crazy uses for these unmanned machines. Could investigating the universe be one of them?
Forming Rings in a Protoplanetary Disk
The authors of today’s paper show that the locations of the protoplanetary gaps in HL Tau are to be expected from the condensation points of common ices in the disk.
Molecular Gas in Post-Starburst Galaxies
What makes galaxies stop forming stars? Is gas removed entirely, or simply heated to prevent stars from forming? Today’s paper uses observations of carbon monoxide in post-starburst galaxies to try to answer this question.
