Who Keeps Stirring the Interstellar Pot?
Something is stirring up chaos on galactic scales. The authors of today’s papers investigate just what’s needed to recreate the turbulence seen in the interstellar medium.
Adding Gal-ax-ies, It’s Easy as One-Two-Three
Adding galaxies to dark matter simulations might be easier than you thought – today’s authors present a new method to generate synthetic data from relatively low-resolution DM simulations!
Finding young exoplanets with machine learning
Astronomers have a challenging task ahead of them — to find young exoplanets in protoplanetary disks. Machine Learning could potentially come to the rescue.
Defining Gravity: Can Wide Binaries be a Definitive Test of Modified Newtonian Gravity Theories?
Today’s paper posits that precise observations of wide binaries can be used, in conjunction with simulations, to test the validity of modified gravity theories!
The Standard Model Fails to Pass the Bar
The presence of dark matter particles in barred spiral galaxies should slow down their galactic bars. However, this is not what we observe. Are galactic bars telling us to reconsider the foundations of the standard model?
Twists and turns of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays
Where do some of the highest energy photons in our universe come from? Today’s authors take a look at clusters of galaxies as a potential source of high energy gamma rays!
