Movement in the Dust: Detecting Planetary Candidates via Disk Kinematics?
In today’s paper, the authors analyze millimeter and submillimeter ALMA observations of a protoplanetary disk, and find kinematic signs of candidate companions within!
#BlackInAstro Experiences: Dr. Chris Moore

Age is Just a Number: Radioactive Dating in Stars
Do you feel older? How does it show in your body? Stars carry their own clocks within them too. See how we can better measure their Uranium as it slowly ticks away.
Asymmetries are red, violets are blue, superflares are seen in white light, and H-alpha too!
We don’t fully understand the emission processes in stellar flares. These authors try to get to the heart of the problem with multi-instrument observations.
The Dance of Fire and Ice: a White Dwarf and its ultra-cool Brown Dwarf companion
Today’s post discusses the discovery of an unusual system: an ultra-cool brown dwarf orbiting a white dwarf!
Meet the AAS Keynote Speakers: Dr. Anthony Brown
For the past decade, ESA’s Gaia mission has helped reshape astronomy in more ways than you can probably think of. You can hear more about Gaia in Prof. Anthony Brown’s plenary talk at #AAS241!
