Running on empty: satellite galaxies lose their fuel easily
Today’s bite explores how a satellite galaxy can lose its fuel through ram pressure stripping when it falls into the orbit of a galaxy like the Milky Way.
From Globs to Gravitational Waves: A Simulated Cosmic Choreography
Astronomy is all about the complex interactions between celestial objects. Today’s authors explore how we might be able to observe signals from intermediate mass black holes and objects from the globular clusters in which they might reside.
#BlackInAstro Experiences: Logan White
As part of Black Space Week 2025, we interview incoming graduate student Logan White!
Speedy stars reveal a satellite’s supermassive secret
By rewinding the orbits of hypervelocity stars, today’s authors discover something unusual about the Milky Way’s largest satellite galaxy.
Superconductive Regions in Magnetars
Today’s authors consider superconductive magnetar models and their impact on gravitational wave observations.
Neutron Star Limbo: How Low Can Their Masses Go?
Simulations reveal how a surprisingly low-mass neutron star might have formed–and what that means for supernova theory.
