Meet the AAS 243 keynote speakers: Prof. Eve Lee
We interviewed Prof. Eve Lee of McGill University to learn all about planet and star formation ahead of her plenary talk at #AAS243!
Searching for stars at the beginning of the Universe
We may or may not be able to observe the first stars directly, but today’s authors show that’s not the only way to learn about them!
Memoirs of a Galaxy
Today’s bite explores how we can look at the stellar haloes of galaxies to reconstruct their past merger and accretion events.
Uh oh, where did the atmosphere go: the impact of host stars’ radiation on exoplanet atmospheres
Today’s post tells you how planets can lose their atmospheres due to a star’s radiation – and what this means for exoplanets we have already found!
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!
