The Centre of Attention
Deep imaging of a nearby dwarf galaxy reveals a new globular cluster.
Mapping Gravity in Stellar Nurseries
Gravity turns gas into stars. Today’s astrobite introduces a new way to study gravity’s pull in a molecular cloud – the birthplace of new stars.
Double Bubble Galaxy
M31 discovered to be blowing vast bubbles of gamma rays, just like our own galaxy.
A Very Long Distance Relationship
Researchers find a brown dwarf at the largest orbit yet discovered. Details on the star and it’s companion in today’s Astrobite.
The Case of the Missing Giants
Red giant stars are bright enough to see at the center of our galaxy, but they are missing. A new study puts stars in a wind tunnel to explore a possible way to dim the lights.
The tempestuous adolescence of circumstellar disks
Massive gas inflow can trigger disks around young stars to become gravitationally unstable, resulting in vigorous accretion onto the star.
