A Predicted Alignment of the Stars
Today’s paper leverages a predicted astrometric microlensing event to study an isolated white dwarf and test stellar evolution theories.

Stars of various temperatures and sizes slow down at different rates– and to different extents. The authors of this paper address this distinction in a regime never before addressed observationally.
There is a tradition in Astronomy to post silly science papers to the arXiv on Aprils Fools day. We’ve collected them all for 2023 and provided some “peer review”
Today’s astrobite explores if current gravitational wave observations be explained if we add in primordial black holes to our recipe of the universe.
In today’s paper: how does tidal dissipation and gravitational wave emission affect the result of encounters between stars and black hole binaries in stellar clusters?
In today’s paper, the authors test the theory that the earliest, metal-poorest stars are the primary source of binary black hole mergers.
