The Imprint of an Invisible Giant
Most Jupiter-like exoplanets go undetected. But do they leave a mark on the more easily detectable inner terrestrial worlds?
Journey to the centre of a galaxy cluster
Using simulations to explore the fate of galaxies falling into clusters
Feeling gassy?
When does a planet form like a Neptune or like a Jupiter? Today’s bite explores this question!
Seeking the Circumgalactic Medium with Dragonfly
The circumgalactic and intergalactic media may contain the majority of baryonic matter in the universe, but their low density makes them extremely faint. Can an instrument designed to image low surface brightness objects help shed light on these ghostly structures?
Evaporating Disks With Massive Stars
Radiation from massive stars can melt away protoplanetary disks. What can the leftover disks tell us about the environment from which they formed?
When the Sky Isn’t the Limit: Simulations of Imaging a Black Hole from Space
Recently, the world saw the first-ever images of a black hole’s shadow. Future images could be sharper with space-based telescopes!
