Strength in Numbers: How Cloud Communities Weather Galactic Storms

Strength in Numbers: How Cloud Communities Weather Galactic Storms

by Sandy Chiu | Nov 24, 2025 | Classics, Daily Paper Summaries

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.

by Brandon Pries | Nov 5, 2025 | Daily Paper Summaries

How is the growth of massive black holes regulated by starlight and stellar explosions? Learn more in today’s bite!

Using Galaxy Halos to Study Baryonic Feedback in FLAMINGO

Using Galaxy Halos to Study Baryonic Feedback in FLAMINGO

by Lindsey Gordon | Oct 4, 2025 | Daily Paper Summaries, PRJ

Today’s authors use FLAMINGO simulations to probe the tension between different observational methods of estimating cosmological parameters.

Super-Earth, Super-Tectonics?

Super-Earth, Super-Tectonics?

by Diana Solano-Oropeza | Oct 1, 2025 | Daily Paper Summaries

Turns out there’s more than one way to “plate” a planet!

The Impact of Blazar Shape on Polarization Measurements

The Impact of Blazar Shape on Polarization Measurements

by Lindsey Gordon | Sep 24, 2025 | Daily Paper Summaries

Today’s authors consider the way AGN jet shape changes our measurements of blazar polarization.

Twinkle, twinkle, little quasar! Can you tell me how far away you are?

Twinkle, twinkle, little quasar! Can you tell me how far away you are?

by Anavi Uppal | Sep 22, 2025 | Daily Paper Summaries

When we don’t have spectra, we can estimate the distance to a quasar by calculating its photometric redshift. Today’s authors present a new way to use the ‘flickering’ of quasars to improve these distance estimates.
