Smashing stellar nurseries together to see if they survive
Galaxy mergers are violent places, which makes simulating their effects on fragile molecular clouds very difficult. The authors of today’s paper manage to do it anyway!

Investigating the physical properties of galaxies is key to our understanding of galaxy formation and evolution. With the power of the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers are now able to investigate properties of huge numbers of galaxies in the early Universe.
Today’s post discusses the discovery of an unusual system: an ultra-cool brown dwarf orbiting a white dwarf!
In today’s paper, the authors take another look at the HD 45354 planetary system, and come to new conclusions about the orbit of the two gas giants within!
Today’s authors delve into the AGN-starburst composite galaxy NGC 1068, and discuss a model for its multi-messenger emission.
Plenty of committed and planned heists give examples of how to steal diamonds and pearls. But how to steal a whole planet? Easy! You just need to be a star in a star forming region.
