How Common are Solar Systems Like Our Own?
How common are systems like our own solar system? Do big and small planets often form together?
Simulations of Turbulence in Black Hole Coronae
In today’s bite, the authors use simulations to explore turbulence a possible mechanism for the observed x-ray emissions in the coronae of black holes.
Tragic Tidal Disruption Events: How Black Holes Shred Stars
Today’s bite delves into the tragic final encounter between a supermassive black hole and its stellar neighbour that came a bit too close.
Attacking the (Multi-)Messenger: Simulating a Kilonova
Neutron stars (NSs) are the most extreme objects known, composed of a form of matter so extraordinarily dense that it teeters on the brink of collapse into a black hole.
I (exoplanet HR 5183 b) came in like a wrecking ball
Everyone wants to find a habitable planet. The authors of today’s paper make a compelling case that the HR 5183 system is not the best place to look.
How to Find Supermassive Black Hole Binaries in Pulsar Timing Array data without the Pulsars
Pulsar timing arrays could localise individual sources of gravitational waves to host galaxies. The problem is, it’s so computationally difficult! This paper shows us a faster way.
