How stars dust themselves off and emerge from their hidden birthplaces
When stars are born, they’re hidden behind dust and dense gas. How long will it take them to emerge?
Looking for a single stellar ancestor: Mono-enriched stars in zoom-in simulations
Today’s bite explores if we’ll be able to find a star that has formed from the gas enriched by only one stellar predecessor, an interesting way to probe what’s actually happening in stellar nucleosynthesis.
Keep your ν-eyes open: Messengers from a Common Envelope
Today’s bite explores how neutrinos might inform us about a neutron star being engulfed by another star!
Let’s Ce(rium) What’s Up With Mass Transfer!
Stars in binaries can have very unusual evolutionary paths, which can also affect their chemistry! Today’s paper takes a look at one such peculiarity: Mass transfer, and it’s resultant heavy element enhancement.
#BlackInAstro Experiences: Logan White
As part of Black Space Week 2025, we interview incoming graduate student Logan White!
Siblings vs Only Planets: Traits and Dynamics of M dwarf Families
We always say we’re made of stardust, but are we actually made out of our star’s dust? Today’s paper discusses the link between stellar composition, and their host planet composition, in order to answer that question.
