Meet the AAS Keynote Speakers: Dr Adam Leroy
Today we interview Dr. Adam Leroy, who is a professor at the Ohio State University and one of this year’s #AAS247 Plenary speakers!
This galaxy simulation can fit so many stars and gas particles in it
Simulating an entire galaxy is not easy if you want your result sometime this century. But today’s paper brings us a neat trick that might just help speed things up.

[Beyond] Intro to Astrophysical Simulation Jargon
This Beyond post will go through the basics of numeric simulation jargon with diagrams and examples to help you get moving in astrophysical simulations.
Strength in Numbers: How Cloud Communities Weather Galactic Storms
Classic theory says only big clouds should survive galactic winds, but these new simulations show that’s not the whole story. Whether a cloud lives or dies depends not only on its size, but also on the environment it’s sitting in.
Stellar Feedback Regulating Massive Black Hole Growth
How is the growth of massive black holes regulated by starlight and stellar explosions? Learn more in today’s bite!
