Can we identify the host galaxies of LISA sources?
The upcoming LISA mission promises to detect many gravitational wave events, but can it attribute any of them to a host galaxy? Let’s find out!
Tracing Star Fuel in the Universe’s Smallest Galaxies
It’s really hard to see molecular hydrogen (the fuel that makes stars) directly, so astronomers have to use other spectral lines to guess how much is there. In today’s paper, the authors discuss how to do that in the smallest galaxies in the universe!
UR: Star Formation in High-Redshift Galaxies – Uncovering the Origins of Globular Clusters
In the latest of our #UndergradResearch series, discover how Fred Angelo Batan Garcia used cosmological simulations to explore globular cluster formation!
The Cosmic Tale of Star Birth
In today’s astrobite, find out how stars and clusters are formed by looking at their size and age.
Bad T-Tauri Star! No Dinner for You This Orbit!
How hard is it to feed a baby star? It might be harder than you think…
Galactic Tails tell Galactic Tales – and this one is a Strange Tail Indeed
Today’s authors discovered a very long, very odd galactic tail, and discuss what that means for its origin and for the history of the galax(ies) involved!
